Diamondback terrapin

dying out, it doesn’t help that when turtles go to lay their eggs that the turtles are always disturbed from predators and even humans bothering their nesting areas. Turtles’ are hunted by different animal species from land animals such as raccoons, and foxes to birds, ghost crabs, and sharks from within the water. When a baby turtle hatches from its egg there is no telling what will happen to turtle. One in a thousand baby turtles will make it to adulthood. Hoagland also uses another visual sense. “On Broadway, in New York, there is a penny arcade which used to sell baby terrapins that were scrawled with bon mots in enamel paint, such as KISS ME BABY.” (Hoagland pg.154 para.14) With this a reader can create the image of the baby terrapin with the paint on its shell. Painting the terrapins with enamel paint was not a good thing for the terrapins, this will actually cause the shell to stop growing while the terrapin inside of the shell will continue to grow ending in death by suffocation. In comparison to a real life situation it would be like your favorite outfit that fits you, but is tight that you cannot get out of it because of the tightness. Not only do turtles suffer from suffocation, whales also do. Their massive tails get caught in fishing nets weighing down their heavy bodies not being able to come up to the surface to blow out and breathe back in. Comparing this to someone tying a cement block to your legs and throwing you into a seven foot deep pool, you wouldn’t…

This loss of a medal or disqualification will destroy an athlete's reputation and name. If news of a positive drug test gets out that will forever change how you or anyone else views that athlete and it really makes you question if your favorite player was really that…

important in the salt marsh environment because they have many predators that depend on them as a primary food source such as such as blue crab, rails, and egrets. Killifish (Fundulus majalis) live near the shore and hardly ever stray over 100 yards from the coastline. They are both omnivores and scavengers, feeding on phytoplankton in salt marshes. The Killifish is a curved back, a thick and rounded tail, a dorsal fin located far back on the body, a flattened head, blunt snout, and a small…

amount of viable habitat for them is already limited. There is proof of mangroves moving northward and taking over salt marsh wetlands habitats. Mangroves habitats are further squeezed by human development. Coastal development such as seawalls and new housing communities will continue to influence mangrove moment. Hopefully, people will start to better understand the economic benefit of mangroves and for that reason desire to protect and preserve them. (Erwin, 2009, p. 71-84). Mangroves are…
