The diet of the Rice Rat includes grasses, seeds, fruits, crustaceans and small fish. The Rice Rat was probably nocturnal and inhabits burrows or rock crevices under bushes. The head and body of the Rice Rat measure 9 – 20 centimeters and it has a tail length of 7.5 – 25 centimeters. It weighs around of 40 – 80 grams. The Galapagos…

Today in Mr. Andersons class we talked about the Ocean Floor, the students learned that it took us many years to study the Ocean floor because of its deepness. Once Sonar was developed we were able to study the ocean floor, in class students took the time to watch a video about the subject. The video also mentioned that we know more about the moon and space than we know about the ocean floor because we have not explored it. During this time Mr. Anderson also emphasized on things from the video…

Red-Tailed Black Shark is a stunning fish, with a velvety- black body, a bright red tail, and a lovely streamlined shape. If you are going to keep a Black Shark in your aquarium, and I highly recommend that you do, only get one, because they get very aggressive towards others of their species. When they are younger they are relatively harmless, but as they got older and bigger they can get very cantankerous. You need to give your Black Shark plenty of hiding places to choose from, like a…

Spend some time observing any ocean ecosystem and you will see that it can look like a very dreary place. A place full of hunting, killing, manipulation, fearfulness and harsh living environments. Nevertheless, the species involved in these interconnected ecosystems of the oceans have found ways to survive in these environments by each fulfilling a specific niche. The niche of some of these species is oftentimes accompanied by another organism, however, these relationships are termed as a…

were once focal points for nessie believers are continuing to be proven fake, like the surgeon's photo. And the most famous theory of Nessie actually being a dinosaur was also proven by science to be almost impossible because of the minimal amount of fish in the Loch, and how cold the Loch usually is. With all of this evidence against Nessie, it is likely that the Loch Ness monster is likely just one big fat…

Every student has been taught something as simple as the food chain throughout their primary and secondary education. Yet it baffles me how when it is applied to real life people tend to not see the importance of preserving our oceans wildlife. I remember in my seventh grade science class learning about food chains and food webs. All of these animals rely on each other to survive. Ever since learning about something as simple as a food chain in middle school, I have been interested in the impact…

I sat across from him, not daring to look up. I stared at my fishing pole, dipping it in and out of the water like a fish flopping in and out of the ocean. The vibration on my lips distracted me from the situation at hand. The rain pounded on my fisherman’s hat, like a shower of bullets. I began to hum. A monotonous tune. Soon I caught a glimpse of Tim, he appeared distraught and confused. His eyes darted left, then right, up, then down, and up again. “What is he thinking about?” I thought to…

Waking up to the beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, over four thousand miles away from home, and a six hour time difference. With my circadian rhythm out of sync, the excitement of new adventures and exploring the island world. Kauai, Hawaii was my adventure and after visiting almost every beach on the island, I was still unsatisfied and need to see and experience more, a new goal to conquer. Today would be filled with kayaking downstream in the Wailua River, to hike to Wailua Falls, and…

This situation has been documented in many scientific journals, such as one by Xenopoulos et al.," In rivers with reduced discharge, up to 75% (quartile range 4-22%) of local fish biodiversity would be headed toward extinction by 2070 because of combined changes in climate and water consumption, (Xenopoulos et al., 2005). Another paper by Verones et al., explains that when humans take water from wetlands, or convert wetlands…

Today I’m going to study the Tunisa. The Tunisa is a vicious amphibian predator. It lives in the South American rainforests and Pacific ocean, but today I’ll be in the rainforests to study one of these animals. It is quite hard to spot a Tunisa because of its camouflage but i've just spotted one. When it’s not blending into its surroundings its main color is green on its scales. On its underside it is a light brown. It also has a sharp point at its back end that is a tannish color. It has very…
