While the goal of the goldfish lab was to teach the subject how to jump, this objective was unachieved, resulting in the inability to have our fish learn the trick. This outcome was most likely do to the minimal capacity in the brain of the goldfish, making it hard for the animal to remember how to perform the skill being taught. The fish only has a memory that lasts 3 seconds; however, the task took longer than 3 seconds to complete, resulting in the incapability of performing the jump. Also,…

Blackfish belong in the wild and not in captivity. During the video one of the trainers said “Tilikum; one of the blackfish,has a curved fin”. It is due to captivity because it is a proven fact that less that 1% of blackfish get curved fins, and the ones that do usually are in captivity. Curved fins can also be caused by having no space in which to swim freely which is overall unacceptable and inhumane .This is a good example on why blackfish belong in the sea instead of a trapped closed in…

Billy Joe tried to do just that. As I went in to poke my large, pointed nose into the man’s skiff, a Portuguese man-of-war came along. I panicked and quickly let go of the bait and instead of drowning the man hid under the cover of his small and powerless boat. The jellyfish left and I began to taunt the man once more. Two days had passed and the man showed no sign of giving up but only sign of pushing forward. I started to fear that the man would win. He still did not know how gigantic and…

The federal agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) states “Despite their scary reputation, sharks rarely ever attack humans and would much rather feed on fish and marine mammals” (NOAA). In other words, humans are not part of sharks’ diet. It would aim for smaller fishes; therefore, deaths caused by shark attacks were often due to confusion, curious and self-protection (NOAA). To support…
