Aquatic animal

than half of the animals in captivity centers feel like. For many years animal captivation has been viewed as a good action, but not everyone knows the pain these animals go through every day. Many people support animal conservation centers because they are told that animals will live healthier and longer. Many people assume that animal captivity acceptable action, however it can cause harm to the animals. The problem is that due to the lack of stress they are put under, the animals start to…

residing in the American rainforests. They feed on a variety of plants and plant material to guarantee that they do not become poisoned by eating too much of a certain species of plant at a given time. They are also said to feed on a wide variety of aquatic plants as well. Human hunting and habitat loss have although greatly affected the Tapirs population, placing them on that of the endangered species list. Another…

Just like pores on human skin which absorb elements of the world around us, the holes all over the sponge’s body as essentially pores as well. The function of the holes all over the sponge’s body is to allow water to be absorbed into the sponge’s body. Through the absorption of water, the sponge also absorbs food and oxygen to ensure survival. There is no one set type of symmetry for sponges. Therefore, not all sponges have the same type of symmetry. Sponges can range from asymmetrical to…

frog, although in the tree frog family, is the least arboreal lacking the enlarged toe pads present on their close relatives. Instead, their hind feet are webbed allowing them to live an aquatic lifestyle instead of one high up in the trees. “Blanchard’s Cricket Frogs are considered terrestrial and semi-aquatic, remaining close to permanent water bodies including lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers” (Moriarty Pg. 93). They are often seen loafing and foraging along “muddy shorelines with abundant…

Plants and animals have made changes in their habitats as they have transitioned from water environments to land environments. This alteration requires the organisms to adapt to their new environments in order to survive and reproduce. These evolutionary transitions eventually led up to alterations in means of respiration, ways to prevent water loss, water dependent reproduction, and structural transformations. Amphibians evolved into reptiles and eventually into birds and mammals, being able to…

Edward Hoagland is an animal lover at heart saying that he has owned “dogs, cats, turtles, snakes, alligators, pigeons, possums, goats” while he was in his home state of Connecticut (Stuttering Foundation). He writes of animals and their conservations often. In fact, it’s his signature as an author. He has many works, 60 years’ worth, of conservation of animals fueled by this relentless desire to write for animals who cannot write for themselves (Stuttering Foundation). Turtles may seem like…

5000 known species, all located primarily in marine and fresh waters (Myers, 2001a). They are multicellular, heterotrophic, invertebrates with an irregular shape and no distinct pattern of symmetry (Myers, 2001a). Overall, they are the simplest of animals; thus, lacking any true tissue and/or germ layers (Myers, 2001a). Furthermore, they are known to be highly sessile, and feed by collecting bacteria from the water that streams through their porous bodies (Myers, 2001a). Feeding is known to be…

and are able to sleep. The Flamingo ( scientific name: Phoenicopterus) is a very interesting animal. Flamingos are large birds, usually 3 to 5 feet in height, with long necks, sticklike legs and pink or reddish feathers, found in both the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. They can live 20 to 30 years in the wild or up to 50 years in a zoo. Flamingos live in large flocks in aquatic areas. A group of flamingos is called a "pat". Their oddly-shaped beaks are specially adapted to separate…

also the toads to. Can’t forget the natural history of these amphibians and reptiles. We can't forget how they reproduce. Amphibians and reptiles of Monroe County are interesting with these species, habitats, the funny looks, and the history of the animals.
