I had the same schedule every day. Go to school, come back, do homework, eat, and sleep. Then i would repeat…
The Observational Octopus We’ve all heard some variation of a story in which an octopus has escaped its enclosure, gone about its business, and returned to its tank, all without leaving any evidence for the staff or guards. These types of tells are what piqued my interest in cephalopod intelligence and led me to a study conducted by James B. Wood and Roland C. Anderson where the goal was to identify the differences in escape behavior between various types of octopuses. When searching for an…

ocean. This was reinforced by the second largest coral reef in the world, the Grand Mayan Reef. It was right off the shore of the resort. Seeing this, we often went snorkeling, cruising across the waves in a boat, or for some, even scuba dive.

This was completely new to me compared to Marshall where all…
1) With the increase in aquatic depth, Po2 & Pn2 increase. Increasing Po2 in the atrial blood will provide the necessary oxygenation to other vital organs as well as the brain unless the diver depletes his/her oxygen supplies which results in a state of hypoxia (Caton-Richards. M, 2013). It is also said that Po2 along with increasing depth plays a role with inhibiting the urge respirate thus, allowing the diver to stay under water longer. Pn2 on the other hand activates the urge to respirate.…
