15. The blanket octopus is not your ordinary octopus, they contain long webs connecting to their body. The females can grow as large as six feet while the males are only 5 centimeters in length. With the weight ratio to at least 10,000 to one, it sounds like mating should be fun. When the male finds a female octopus, he breaks off one of his arms and crawls inside her to store sperm, then swims off to die. Actually, that doesn’t sound very fun at all, but at least he got a happy ending, right?…

While leopard skates are typically not aggressive, if provoked in their search for food on the floor the skate will use its barbed tail in defense. The skate will strike with its tail much like a scorpion will strike its prey. Although this unique shape of the skate may seem odd it is one of the many unique synapomorphies of the order Batoidea. This order contains 600 species and 26 families. Along with flattened bodies, protruding cartilage, and an absent anal fin are major synapomorphies…

On September 8th I attend Shark tank in the Barry Kaye hall auditorium. When I first heard of the event, I actually thought it was about a man who captured sharks, and would place them in tanks for marine viewing purposes. Therefore, I didn’t choose to attend at first, then I had a friend whose attendance was a requirement, and wanted me to tag along. So, the hunting for a ticket began; finding a ticket on the day of, was no walk in the park either. However, I did eventually get my hands on a…

bathtub then getting killed by a shark. Sharks are very fascinating animals but they are often misconceived as barbarian devils. Ocearch has been helping us learn more about sharks by tagging them so that we can help protect them. Blue sharks are magnificent aquatic animals. One fact is they live in tropical waters (preferably cooler water). They have been seen on the edges of New England and South America. Another thing is they eat squid, bony fish, and carrion. Since sharks are at the top of…

In this essay both the digestive system of a shark and a human have been researched. While investigating, it has been found that there are many similarities and differences between both species of animals. To begin, sharks live in an aquatic environment surrounded by water and other aquatic animals. While humans live on dry land surrounded by multiple mammals in urban and rural areas. Sharks mostly prey on smaller fish . Some of the larger shark species feed on seals, sea lions, and other…

A fish is a limbless cold-blooded vertebrate animal with gills and fins and living wholly in water. Most fish reproduce by laying eggs. Some fish, such as great white sharks, give birth to live babies called pups. Some fish, such as the great white shark, can raise their body temperature. This helps them hunt for prey in cold water. The oldest known age for a fish was an Australian lungfish. In 2003, it was still alive and well at 65 years old. Fish lives in water. They have backbones, so they…

have a lot of knowledge on all marine organisms. However, everything there is to know about the carnivorous great white sharks’ species hasn’t been discovered yet. Scientists can only do so much with these organisms in a controlled environment (or captivity) before an incident occurs where the shark either dies or puts others in danger. Erik Vance’s article, “Why Great White Sharks Are Still a Mystery to Us” provides examples of instances where great whites were put in captivity: “They refuse to…
