People underestimate the awesomeness of the octopus. Octopuses are magnificent sea creatures living all around the world. Containing over 300 species! The word Octopus is from the Greek language meaning eight-legged. They are boneless creatures, also known as invertebrates. Octopuses are interesting in several ways. For example, the way they lose their shape out of the water. In the water, they are able to disappear, flee, prey on other creatures, and glide across the water! The amount of…

low-resistance medium- to water -a high-resistance medium Mr. Nakatsu could solve this inconvenience. The kingfisher's beak provides an almost ideal shape for this conditions. it “is streamlined, steadily increasing in diameter from its tip to its head”, therefore this little change reduces the impact to extent that the kingfisher dives into the water, letting the water “to flow past the beak rather than being…

reasons you can't go wrong when considering a Caique Parrot as a pet. Colorful-The division of color on these birds is so striking it almost looks as if an artist used a paint brush to execute it so perfectly. Black Headed Caiques (BHC) have black beaks and gray feet, shiny black heads, a festive and well defined ban of orange around the neck area; their backs and tails are a velvety forest green, their legs and feathers under the tail are orange, and their bellies are snowy white. The White…

fields. They like to eat seeds, fruit, insects and different agriculture crops. They are 34cm long. Their body is white. Under their tail and wings is yellow.

He is best known for his contributions on the revolutionary, theory of evolution. Charles was the second youngest of six children and was born into a family of scientists. Darwin was always well educated, attending schooling throughout his life, often times with his brother, Erasmus. Darwin is now known as one…

Ancient Korea was separated into three main kingdoms. In the order of the biggest and to the smallest kingdom, it was Guogurye, Baekjie, and Silla. Silla was the weakest and the smallest of the three, but Silla was the one that unified the whole Korea into one, and the one that lead to the fall of Guogurye and Baekjie. This was what made me interested. Who thought that the weakest kingdom could unify the kingdoms? And the reason behind the success of Silla was the Hwarang System. This leads to…

organisms had developed unique features. For example, he discovered several species of sparrows living on the Galapagos Islands. He noted how the sparrows all had different types of beaks, each specially adapted to gathering food in the desolate terrain. Some had short, stout beaks for eating seeds while others had long, thin beaks that were able to extract invertebrates from the rocky shores. His observations led him to formally develop the hypothesis of evolution as a possible explanation for…

While some birds may have small, weak beaks, others have strong, long beaks and are able to obtain food easier, outcompeting the small-beaked birds. The Darwin-Wallace theory of natural selection can account for divergent and convergent evolution examples that have been recorded. Divergent evolution is when…

it speciation even though the jays can mate, because they will eventually over evolutionary time become seperate species. The whole begining stages of this speciation is ignored or hypothesized, while the rest of it, such as how they have different beaks (due to what they eat), is explained. What made the jays prefer oak or pine forests? Why did some jays in the first place prefer acorns or pinecones? Due to the birds being so mobile, I dont see how they can be divided so perfectly or how they…
