2.)Great White Shark
3.)Emperor Penguin Animals need gas exchange for one main reason and that is to survive , all organisms need this gas exchange process to burn glucose for fuel which is a simple but important energy source that is a component of many carbohydrates.

However, their main food source varies depending on their geographical location. The dolphin can hear up to 1-150 kilohertz and can do this by hearing wavelengths. This is more than a human being who can hear up to 0.2 to 17 kilohertz. The bottlenose dolphin can live up to 40 years and there size is estimated between 8 feet [2.5m], their weight is between 200-300kgs [440-660
