If sea turtles lay about an average of 100 eggs in each nest and lay up to 6 to 8 nest each season, then why are sea turtles endangered if so many of them are being created? Well for starters, Sea turtles are faced with many predators, where most creatures take sea turtles as their natural prey. But a sea turtle's life can be at risk even before they are even born. When a sea turtle lays her eggs, the eggs are in danger of Terrestrial predators that seek to prey on them. But if an offspring…

becoming extinct, at any moment. That species is the Hawksbill sea turtle. Most people should be concerned, because they’re going extinct because we’re throwing plastic into the ocean. Also, we’re killing them for their skin and their shells. Lastly, their reproduction doesn’t occur rapidly, so every 2 to 3 years, will new Hawksbill be born/hatched. The Hawksbill sea turtle’s real name, is Eretmochelys Imbricata. The Hawksbill sea turtle has a flat body shape, a sharp, curved beak, and a sharp…

I strongly believe that wildlife crossings for turtles and tortoises should be built more frequently on main roads. The reasons I believe this are that it is not only dangerous to the animals to not have these wildlife crossings but the driver as well, I will discuss these in more depth in this passage. One reason to have wildlife crossings is that is can be dangerous to the animals if you don’t have them. If you don’t put the tunnels or bridge then the animals have no way across the road…

could occur if sea otters disappeared in the ecosystems where they currently exist. Sea otters are considered a keystone species in these ecosystems, so the entire eco-system could be altered drastically and one can expect multiple species to be negatively affected which may diminish diversity. To start with, the most likely immediate effect would be the top down impact discussed above. Free from predators, the sea urchin population would explode (assuming that a new predator of sea urchins…

Kara did not feel certain about the choices she made to rescue, Aunt Barbara. With her voice dripping in tears, she spoke, “Jayden what if Aunt Barbara doesn’t remember us? Or what will…

The swarm of people look through the transparent glass dome, in wonder as they admire the divers. They wear their black, squeaky, rubber suits as they swim over their new city deep underneath the surface of the crystal clear ocean. What is this city, you may ask? This is the city of the future and it is called Submarino City. This city is located in the ocean underneath a huge dome that has diminished all the water and has transformed it into oxygen so that humans can create a civilization.…

Sea otters are known as one of the largest members of the weasel family, Mustelidae, but are one of the smallest marine mammals. Unlike most marine mammals, who have blubber that serve as a thermal insulator, sea otters have fur. Their fur is one of the densest, softest furs in the animal kingdom--that is also water-resistant. They are omnivores with a diet consisting of crabs, abalone, sea stars, squid, sea urchins, sea worms and around 40 other bottom-dwelling invertebrates. Furthermore, to…
