Apex predator

approximately 1 meter in length. The white tigers have muscular legs that allow them to move quickly over short distances. They can reach speeds of up to 60 mph and can leap up to 5 meters . The tiger’s speed and leaping ability have made it a successful predator. The tigers are also good swimmers ,but poor…

I’ve always believed that the ocean is the heart of Earth, the center of life and the most perfect natural beauty this Earth has seen. When I was younger, swimming always was a way for me to escape normal life and jump into life under the sea, a way to put all stress and worries behind me, and instead simply swim. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a Marine biologist, and help the animals that have been on earth for millions of years, live longer and have a better life. Sharks…

helps them live a prolonged and healthy life. These animals are given daily a reliable food source and are not faced with the predators that they could potentially encounter in the open ocean. Though this is a valid point, orcas pose various adaptations which has helped them survive for so long in the marine environment. These adaptations are what makes them the apex predator of the ocean. Personally, after watching this documentary I would not be visiting an aquarium for the reasons mentioned…

History of the Grey Wolf Historically, the range of the grey wolf was spread across the majority of North America but was hunted to extinction in the lower 48 states by 1974. The local extinction was caused by fear and the belief that wolves were causing losses to livestock across the United States. Reintroduction started in Yellowstone in 1995 and 1996 with an initial population of 66 wolves which has grown into a population of 1,000 in 2006. Wolves are social amongst themselves, but typically…

their fins and meat. The methods used for capturing this rare species are wasteful and cruel, and their decline is presenting tragic consequences for the ecosystem of the ocean (Shiffman, July 2014). Finning, Overfishing, and Bycatch Sharks are “apex” predators at the top of the ocean’s food chain. They keep the oceanic ecosystem balanced, which covers more than two-thirds…

chicks most often resulting in death, as it is indigestible and toxic. Ingestion is not the only problem, but also entanglement. Entanglement can kill marine creatures by constraining their movement, which can prevent them from being able to escape predators or cause the animal to…

if the culling of the sharks population was to go forward, it would only make way for a new creature to become a nuisance our beaches and feed within the oceans. Alongside that, human culling does not work like the natural culling of apex predators. Where predators go after the weak and elderly, our culling targets those that are fittest or targets those that have others depending on them. So with this kind of culling it could challenge the entire existence of the sharks that have been here for…

(compared to it’s close relatives) theropod dinosaur that lived in Madagascar from 70 to 66 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Like other abelisaurids (members of the family Abelisauridae) , the Majungasaurus was a two-footed predator with a short snout. Although the forelimbs are not completely known as of yet, they were very short, while the hind limbs were longer and quite stocky. It can be distinguished from other dinosaurs in it’s family by its wider skull, the very…

Earth was once full of oceans and water. Now earth is being destroyed by the many negative activities of the human species. Once there were oceans that were filled with life. However with time and modernization also came deterioration of earth’s natural recourses. People have destroyed them to the extent that some creatures are actually at risk of extinction. Plastic wastes are one of the main reasons for the death of sea turtles. whale hunters hunt whales and sharks are finned and caught in…

There are many examples of symbiotic relationships in Disney’s The Lion King. A symbiotic relationship is the interaction between two species living closely together. Mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism are the three main categories of symbiotic relationships. These relationships are important in maintaining a stable ecosystem because they are similar to cause and effect. Both parties in the symbiotic relationship play a key role, and one of them missing from the equation would mean…
