Common Bottlenose Dolphin:
Anatomy:
Common Bottlenose Dolphins are marine animals that live their whole life in the water. Their blowhole is on top of their head. Their ears are close to their eyes. They have 2 fins; a set of fins called Pectoral Fins that helps them swim. The other one is a single fin on top of their head further away from the blowhole called the Dorsal Fin that helps them keep stable against the water currents. They have a small patch of skin on their stomach that is called the Blubber that keeps them warm.
Their tail is known as the Tail Fluke and what interfaces the tail to the body is known as the Tail Stock. Their long nose is known as the Rostrum. And there is a part of their forehead that is called the Melon. …show more content…

Diet:
They eat small plankton organisms like mollusks, marine invertebrate larvae, copepods, nematodes, crustaceans, young polychaetes, diatoms, protozoans and eggs.
Predators:
The main predator of a Moon Jellyfish is other types of jellyfish, usually of a different species. But moon jellyfish also have a number of other natural predators that like to eat them. These predators include tunas, sharks, swordfish, sea turtles and some species of salmon.

Sometimes Poison Oak can have small flowers or berries. Poison Oak can grow either as ground crawling vines, short or tall bushes, or vines growing up trees.
Habitat:
It is mostly found in Western North America in forests, grasslands, woodlands, and chaparral biomes also known as shrublands.
Diet:
Poison Oak is also a plant that uses photosynthesis; just like every plants. Predators:
Birds, deer, and other wildlife eat the leaves and berries frequently.
Appearance:
Poison Oak is a plant that can cause itching and allergic reactions whenever it is touched. It is also called Pacific Poison Oak or Western Poison Oak. It is part of Kingdom Plantae. It has leaf green leaves that sometimes has a red tinged color to
