Painted fish

In simpler terms, when people think about sharks, they tend to be afraid or worried because they are responding to feelings. Instead of thinking more objectively, they think emotionally first because it is the natural thing to do. It’s your instincts. This feeling may have been introduced to you through the way you were raised. As a child, when you spend the day at the beach, you may hear from your parents or loved ones, “Hey watch out for sharks!” or “Don’t go too deep, the sharks might eat you…

After leaving the casino, they all catch a taxi that'll take them to the Santa Monica pier in Los Angeles. Since they can't pay the taxi driver directly, Annabeth has the idea to use the debit card from the Lotus Casino that has unlimited money on it. On the way there, they talk about Percy's dream and if Hades is the one in his dreams. According to his dream, the being is waiting for two items— one must be Zeus's master bolt. Once they make it to the pier, Percy immediately goes to the water.…

Leatherback Turtle Migration Animals naturally migrate major and minor distances in the world for different purposes. Interestingly, we have observed various animals to understand about migration more. We will describe about the Atlantic leatherback turtle. Atlantic leatherback turtle, also known scientifically as Dermochelys coriacea, are the largest of all sea turtles, one of the largest reptiles on Earth, four to eight feet long, and weighs between 500 to 2,000 pounds. In the other…

Baleen whales undergo the longest annual migrations of any animal (Rice and Wolman 1971, Stone et al. 1990, Rasmussen et al. 2007). The function has generally been accepted as an evolutionary response to the need to feed in colder waters and reproduce in warmer waters (Corkeron and Connor 1999, Learmonth et al 2006). The location of feeding and breeding grounds along migration routes were initially inferred from stomach contents of stranding data and whaling logs (e.g., MacKintosh 1945, Scammon…

When it comes to cooling off in the summer, the Huntsmen spider is no exception. However, fear not, as these spiders are generally timid who will run lighting-fast speed when disturbed (termite.com).As seen in the picture,the Huntsman spider's hairy body length of 1/2" and its long legs is known to like the cooling of flat leaves, rocks, and of course the nice A/C temperatures of corners and roofs in buildings. While they are not dangerous, a bite from them is unpleasant. Take care to not anger…

According to DeGraaf & Yamasaki, green heron’s habitats are found in a variety of freshwater and saltwater habitats that are primarily shrub or forested wetlands. They are also found in brushy areas that are margins of slow-moving rivers, lakes, and ponds. Frequently inhabits marshes, beaver’s ponds, salt marshes, mudflats, harbors, and human-created canals and ditches. To feed, they have to be near wooded wetlands near shallow bodies for feeding. These waters should be abundant in small fishes,…

that have lead up to a depletion our our ocean fish. As our underwater wildlife ecosystem decreases, we keep moving backwards with fisheries overfishing and diminishing the underwater wildlife. Overfishing occurs when there is a popular fishing area constantly being fished out to the point where the reproduction cycle can't keep up. Recent studies have shown that overfishing has exploited 52% of fish stock (subpopulations of a particular species of fish). More than 85% percent of the world’s…

In the article, "Repelling Germs with Sharkskin" written by Esther Landhuis, it discusses the benefits of sharkskin for humans. As the article unfolds, you will see a scientist named Anthony Brennan, inventor of the sharkskin texture, realized many marine animals have "crusty" skin due to the buildup of algae and barnacle. This prompted him to wonder what the skin was made up and why it was so different than other animals. The scientists soon found a process that helped them find what the skin…

table quantifies the number of amino acids that are different in the same position of the amino acid sequence of myosin heavy chain 6 alpha protein in zebra fish, cod, tilapia, salmon and flounder. The sequence alignment from the NCIB website is used to compare the genetic sequence of myosin and determine how closely related two species of fish are based on the number of amino acid sequence they have in common. The table indicates that flounder and tilapia have the least variation in the genetic…
