Basking shark

Blue-Ringed Octopus The blue-ringed octopus, despite its small size, carries enough venom to kill twenty-six adult humans within minutes. Their bites are tiny and often painless, with many victims not realizing they have been envenomated until respiratory depression and paralysis start to set in. No blue-ringed octopus antivenom is available yet, making it one of the deadliest reef inhabitants in the ocean. Blue-ringed octopuses are one of the deadliest animals in the sea. Through their…

agrees with Barry D. Bruce when it states that despite the research results there was still not enough data to know for sure if shark cage diving would negatively impact shark populations(2873). Charlie Huveneers at the end of the article writes that from what has been observed there is a possibility that shark cage diving could reduce the over all health and fitness of the shark population at Neptune Islands and recommends for more research to be done(2873). Based on the information from both…

7. For me, the worst part about being stranded at sea would be the fear of a shark biting through the raft and dragging me to the bottom of the ocean, but that is inescapable and didn’t end up being an issue for Louie, Phil, or Mac. The next thing that comes to mind is having to catch and eat raw sharks. “Phil had weighed about 150 pounds when he had stepped aboard Green Hornet. Louie’s war diary, begun shortly after he arrived in Hawaii, noted that he weighed 155 pounds. He believed that…

Squids and Octopuses are two very similar and incredible sea creatures who have lived on this earth for millions of years. Squids have gone down in history as fierce predators who are known to have taken down mighty predators like sharks as well as ships, in the 1700’s, giving them the description of giant sea creatures called Krakens. Octopuses have been known as great escape artists, with the ability to squeeze through smallest holes and crevices to escape predators at any given time. Both of…

My extinct animal is the megalodon. Not only was the megalodon the biggest prehistoric shark that ever lived,it was the largest marine predator in the history of the planet, vastly outweighing both the modern Great White Shark and ancient reptiles like Liopleurodon and Kronosaurus. Megalodon had a diet befitting an apex predator, feasting on the prehistoric whales that swam the earth's oceans during the Pliocene and Miocene epochs, but also chowing down on dolphins, squids, fish, and even giant…

rookeries in autumn and winter, sharks avoid the surface and use water to 50 meters in depth which is consistent with a silhouette-based hunting strategy. White sharks also exhibit a broad depth distribution offshore and remain there for the spring and summer (4). White Sharks typically spend their day in temperatures between 15C to 24C (59F to 75F). However, as they begin to hunt their prey, they dive down deep into the ocean and slowly rise as they look for food. Sharks have been noted to…
