1 : The Farallon Islands, or Devil's Teeth, as they are referred to by sailors, are

a group of small islands with rocky, barren terrain and treacherous

underwater currents, 48 km (30 miles) off the coast of San Francisco,

California. Although the islands are small, with a combined total land area

of 0.41 km (0.16 square miles), they are positioned in a major ocean

Current, which enables them to house dense populations of birds,

rodents, seals, and other water mammals.

The abundance of wildlife first attracted Russian and American fur

traders in the early 1800s, who then nearly eliminated the seal

population in the area. The islands then became an agricultural resource

10r San Francisco during the Gold Rush era when egg companies began

harvesting bird eggs on the islands. In 1863, Violence between rival egg

Companies erupted on the islands (known as the "Egg War"), which

inadvertently attracted national attention and provoked lawmakers to

pass legislation to protect and rehabilitate the islands natural ecosystem.

In 1881, an executive order was passed that decreed egging illegal on the

Farallons. This ended private enterprises on the islands and was

reinforced in 1909 when President Theodore Ro0sevelt created the

Farallon Reservation to restrict human access and preserve the northern

islands. Protection was expanded in 1967 to include all the Farallon

Islands, and over time many of the islands original inhabitants have

returned.

The Farallons are now home to the world's largest population of western

gulls. Seals have returned, as well as otters’ sea lions, which in turn

attracts great white sharks. The combination of sharks, underwater

Currents, and jagged coastline are probably what earned the Farallons

their nickname "Devil's Teeth," though it hasn't stopped a few

adventurous people from swimming. Four people have completed the

30-mile swim from the islands to San Francisco; the fastest person

completed the journey in 14 hours.

Stimulus: 1 of 6

Which of the following Supports the detail that the Farallon islands are a natural home to many animals?

Hint : Look for environmental factors that contribute to the habitat.

Correct Answers:
