Blubber

No, no way, the Canadian government shouldn't ban the seal hunt due to many reasons. I feel the main reasons are: we would lose resources that we acquire from the seals, due to the increase in population of the seals, fishes that we eat are decreasing in population some are even close to extinct, and that the media is going above and beyond by showing nonsense and causing people to act against the seal hunt which is hurting the economy, specially the fishermans. First of all the seals are…

The blue whale can mature up to 100 feet long and can weigh up to 173 tons. The diet of the blue whale consisits of mostly small crustaceans known as krill but also eat small plants and fish. The blue whale’s body type is long and slender and their body shade varies from greyish blue to a dark navy blue. The whales dorsal can…

Sea otters are known as one of the largest members of the weasel family, Mustelidae, but are one of the smallest marine mammals. Unlike most marine mammals, who have blubber that serve as a thermal insulator, sea otters have fur. Their fur is one of the densest, softest furs in the animal kingdom--that is also water-resistant. They are omnivores with a diet consisting of crabs, abalone, sea stars, squid, sea urchins, sea worms and around 40 other bottom-dwelling invertebrates. Furthermore, to…

breathe. Without oxygen nothing would be able to live though the phytoplankton is not our only source of oxygen it is a major contributor. “Pesticides have begun to enter the flesh of penguins in the Antarctic and the brains of polar bears and the blubber of whales in the Arctic, all subsisting on plankton and plankton eating crustaceans and fish in areas far from cities and farmland” (page 347). By contaminating the ocean humans are effecting an entire ecosystem and if this continues the…

Another favorable aspect of the Emperor Penguins development is that approximately 30% of a penguin's overall body mass can potentially be a well defined layer of blubber which consequently improves the thermal insulation of the penguin whilst swimming as well as stores excess energy and heat. Although, on it’s own the layer of blubber is not sufficient enough to ensure the penguins body temperature remains constant and stable. Therefore the penguin needs a varying combination of adaptations to…

species of bears; their skull structure. A grizzly’s skull is stronger and better suited to plant-rich diets, while a polar bear’s skull is weaker and is suited to blubber-rich diets. This is because grizzlies have molars that allow them to grind and break down plants, while polar bears have smaller teeth that are used to easily tear blubber. Polar bears would not be able to chew…

diet was see mammals, especially whales, both men and women participated in the butchering of whales and every part of the whale was used for some purpose: tendons for instance were braided and dried for rope, and oil was extracted from the whale's blubber, among the makah people's favorite foods were a root called camas, which could only be obtained by trading with tribes from north who were able to from it.

greece weren't the only people to chew forms of gum. There were people like the mayans, Eskimos, and even south americans. Each one of these different groups would use different things as a form of gum. Mayans would use chicle and Eskimos would use blubber. Different societies would use different things based off of geography. But even though gum has been made…
