Blubber

The Polar Bear exhibit at the zoo was the smallest exhibit that I viewed for the day for such a massive animal. By estimation, the exhibit is about 70 feet wide, and 100 feet long. Half of the exhibit is terrain which was a smooth flattened rock surface with several big rocks for the bear to climb up on. The other half of the exhibit was a pool of water, the zoo designed the pool with the edges of the pool to be white, to perhaps give a more arctic feel for the viewers. Also, there were many…

Those people inland used farming to grow crops such as corn, pumpkin, rye, squash, and beans, as a way of producing income and influencing the economy The society of the…

society. Firstly, Sea otters come from the Mustelidae (weasel) family, which includes the three subspecies, such as the Northern sea otter. They are the second smallest marine animals, but the heaviest of the Mustelidae family. Instead of having blubber, like other marine animals, they have a thick fur, which is the densest of any in the Animal kingdom. Most of the otter species have now become endangered, with numbers that used to reach a million, but due to history’s fur trade, their numbers…

Titanium is a low-density element (has 60% density of steel), that be able to be highly modified by alloying and distortion processing. Titanium is non magnetic, non toxic and has good heat transfer properties. Titanium and its alloys have melting points advanced those of steels, but maximum useful temperatures for structural applications usually range from 425-540C°. Titanium has good resistance to attack by most mineral acids and chlorides [ASM]. The combination of high strength, stiffness,…

It is also the densest and finest fur out of any animal furs [1]. whole animal kingdom, sea otters uses tools to help them. It is part of a behavioral adaptation, such as using a rock to open…

This is a manatee. [pic: Pearson Scott Foresman] At first glance you might think it was related to seals or walruses, but its closest living relatives are actually elephants [pic: Bernard Dupont] and small, stocky hyraxes. [pic: D. Gordon E. Robertson] The three species of manatees, along with the related dugong, are the only living members of the Sirenia order that evolved from the same land mammal as elephants over 50 million years ago. [pic: Edwardtbabinksi] Although some of them still…

were soaked and frostbitten. They were badly chafed by wet clothes that had not been removed for seven months, and afflicted with salt water boils. Their wet feet and legs were a sickly white color and swollen. Their hands were black- with grime, blubber, burns from the Primus and frostbite. The least movement was excruciating.” As you can see adaptability is a very important thing to have but in the end, all three of these skills are needed to survive in almost any…

Sink or swim 50 years back most everyone heard the story of how humans had evolved over time. It was claimed that our ancestors, apes, had been separated between jungle and desert. Comparing physical traits of both apes and humans, there is a dramatic difference. Apes on four legs, covered in layers of fur… Then there are the humans, standing tall upon two legs, having no fur. The original theory is that when our ancestors parted in two opposite environments they had simply adapted different…

Some of the high predator animals in the sea like orcas, seals, and otters are seven times more polluted than canada's (PBS). This is because they eat other animals that contain toxins and other pollutants in the water and it also gets stuck in the blubber layer. We put in over 150 thousand pounds of waste into the Puget sound a day (PBS). Which would explain how sickly our animals are getting and living shorter lives. The storm runoff water is the number one enemy to the waters of Puget sound.…
