The Great White Shark Great white sharks are thought to be one of the most vicious animals on earth because of how they are represented in movies and television shows. In reality they're really just another animal trying to stay alive. Great white sharks are recognized by the grey skin, white bellies, a bullet shaped build and rows of more than 300 really sharp triangular teeth. Great whites are the largest predatory animals in water in the world.…
In the left for dead, by Pete Nelson it’s a lot thing and examples why they died . I’m explaining, more reasons why they died. It’s only right to tell you more than one that’s why you are reading my essay. They died with horrible memories.…
Sharkwater Rhetorical Analysis Sharkwater is a 2006 documentary created by Rob Stewart, a young biologist and underwater photographer. Being passionate about the ocean and those who inhabit it, Stewart created his documentary with the intention of destroying the bad reputation that society and the media has put on sharks. Stewart also highlights in his documentary how humans have cruelly made sharks the prey and the enemy for decades. Ethos, pathos, and logos played a very important role in Sharkwater, and was strategically used throughout the documentary in order to persuade the audience that sharks aren’t the enemy, and shouldn’t be treated as such. Pathos, the appeal to one’s emotions, was heavily relied on throughout the documentary in…
The premier of Western Australia, Colin Barnett, had announced the shark culling policy in 2014 in response to the shark attack fatalities. The shark culling policy authorizes sharks larger than three metres, such as: the great white, bull and tiger sharks to be slaughtered. Sharks smaller than three metres would be liberated offshore. I highly believe that sharks shouldn’t be culled no matter what size they are. We are in the sharks’ habitation and there are other procedures to prevent shark attacks.…
Stingray You’re at the ocean walking through the water; when all of a sudden you see something move only inches away from your feet. You can’t see what it is, but little do you know, you just barely escaped a very painful attack. Stingrays are both dangerous and very interesting animals, from their amazing camouflaging abilities, to their incredibly painful stings. Stingrays have such incredible camouflaging abilities, they can practically hide in plain site. Stingrays come in a multitude of colors that help them hide.…
Within the last week, there have been two fatal shark attacks within the vicinity of our beaches. This clearly proves that a shark culling program can and will be used to the advantage of the Australian community and tourism industry allowing us to develop as a nation. Tonight I have talked to you about the policies that we would adopt in producing a shark culling program, explaining to you the immense gain of the policy as well as the humanity we will go about it. Ask yourself, what would what it be like if the fatal attack was on your mother, father, brother, sister or child? Would you have a different opinion on this topic?…
What happens at the end of Bear v. Shark? Who wins? In the end of Bear v. Shark, there is no clearly stated who wins the battle. I think there is going to have a rematch between them and it is called Bear v. Shark III.…
False Killer Whales versus Killer Whales Both Killer whales (Orcinus orca) and False killer whales (Pseudorca Crassidens) belong to the Delphinidae family. False killer whales resemble orcas because of the shape of their skulls, but the two species are actually not closely related (Baird, 2012). False killer whales are found in all tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate seas (MarineBio, 2013), usually in relatively deep offshore waters (Taylor, et al., 2008). In contrast, killer whales are often found in cold coastal waters (National Geographic, 2015).…
A documentary about killer whales may not be that intriguing when one first catches word of it; once the viewer takes a look, they understand why it has become a well know film and has spread like wild fire. Blackfish, a documentary directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, discusses the negatives of keeping killer whales in captivity. It drives home the fact that industries who keep these large creatures captive, should be boycotted by the public. Blackfish uses literary devices to evoke the audience’s emotions to persuade them that the SeaWorld industry is cruel and that killer whales do not belong in captivity, but also explains it in a biased point of view. When one first looks at the documentary, visually, it is both thought and emotionally resonating.…
Swimmers and other people who use Lake Ontario are warned of the possible danger of having bull sharks in the lake, but are also asked to not give in to the widespread shark-hatred rampant around areas sharks inhabit. It is possible to coexist with these non-native animals, but be…
Sharks… They’re ferocious, aggressive, scary and interesting. Recently, few of today’s news tackle on shark attacks, discovery of shark species, or articles about Katy Perry’s shark back up dancers. Maybe, the sharks felt that we celebrated Shark Week, so they should be doing something to call our attention.…
Sharks are very flexible in their hunting methods and this is proven by Dr. Jayne Gardiner stating that “what impressed us most was not one particular sense, but the sharks’ ability to switch between multiple senses and the flexibility of their behavior” (Rutger). This was demonstrated when scientists from Mote, USF, and the University of Boston blocked a sense from shark and tested its ability to capture prey (Rutger). Sharks were still effective in hunting sans vision or smell, but most could not overcome the loss of electroreception (Rutger). Electroreception is a biological ability that allows sharks to detect electric stimuli in all living creatures (Howell). When a shark has all of its senses, it is one of the deadliest predators in the…
In 2010, one of SeaWorld’s trainers was killed by one of their trained killer whales. Dawn Brancheau was the trainer that was killed by the killer whale. This tragic event shocked the whole nation. There have been several descriptions on how the trainer was killed. Some say that the trainer “drowned” or that the whale “grabbed the trainer by the waist.”…
Horror films have multiple ways of invoking fear in the viewer with the different movie tactics used to present fear. In the film Jaws the way the director present fear towards the viewer is by the way the movie was filmed, having just a camera as the shark builds upon suspense of the shark looking for victims, it shows how we are more scared of the things we cannot see like the shark instead of things we can see, in the beginning of the movie we didn't see a shark but halfway through we see the shark which reaffirms the fear. The unexpected of the movie is the shark’s whereabouts and its appearances in the movies, when the the Captain Quint shot the arrows tied to a barrel to keep track of the shark and then the barrels disappeared and then…
Sharks don’t like the taste of us, because after taking one bite, they’ll leave. It’s all just a big misunderstanding. They confuse us for seals, their real prey. From below, it is hard to distinguish between what is seal and what is human, especially when they’ve a surfboard. Just to clarify, the human has the surfboard, not the seal.…
