The Frigate Bird
http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977067128&nav=Namespace
A web-footed bird widely distributed over tropical latitudes and deriving its name from its great expanse of wing and forked tail, which seem to suggest the shape of a swift vessel. It feeds on flying fish mostly, being unable to dive.

4. Aristotle
Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and scientist who lived four hundred years before the birth of Christ. His father was court physician to the king of Macedon. From his father, Aristotle received a good education in natural science.
When he was seventeen years old, Aristotle went to Athens, where he studied philosophy with Plato for twenty years. After Plato's death he returned to Macedon to become the tutor of Alexander the Great. Through Aristotle, Alexander learned to love and respect the Greek language and the Greek way of life.
When Alexander became king, in 336 BC, Aristotle returned to Athens as a teacher. Unlike his own teacher, Platom Aristotle did not believe that beyond the real world which man experiences with his senses there is an ideal world which man can experience only with his mind. He believed that man must learn from what he can see, hear, taste, touch and smell. He taught his students to examine the world around them in detail. Aristotle's thinking was far more systematic than Plato's.
Aristotle's writings span every area of human learning known at the time he lived. His ideas have been an important influence in the development of philosophy, natural science, and the criticism of drama.

The body of philosophical concepts developed by the Greeks, particularly during the flowering of Greek civilization between the years 600 and 200 BC Greek philosophy formed the basis of all later philosophical speculation in the Western world. The intuitive hypotheses of the ancient Greek foreshadowed many of the theories of modern science, and many of the moral ideas of pagan Greek philosophers have been incorporated into the body of Christian moral doctrine. The political ideas set forth by Greek thinkers influenced political leaders as different as the framers of the Constitution of the United States, on one hand, and the founders of various 20th century totalitarian states on the other.

The wild or semi-domesticated dog of Australia, probably introduced by the Aborigines from Asia about 8000 years ago. Dingos have short hair, bushy tails and pointed ears, and are about 60 cm high at the shoulders. European settlers almost exterminated the species because it preyed on sheep, but it multiplied rapidly when the introduction of rabbits provided it with a ready source of food. Dingoes also feed on kangaroos and other game. They hunt alone or in small packs.

The banana plant consists of large, oval leaves, up to 2 and a half meters in length, with flat stalks that wrap around each other at the base and form what appears to be a trunk, some 3 to 6 meters high.
