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…
The Whale Shark (Rhincodon Typus) is the largest shark in the ocean, growing to a maximum of 65 feet long and weighing over 10 tons, that’s more than three times the size of the great white shark.

If they were to lose their tail and stop swimming they would…
A fish, confined to the small waters of a round glass bowl, encompasses something much larger than itself. The same as a tiger, unrestrained, roaming the vast jungle. And the same as a human. Every living thing must meet some form of an end. Whether this pause is believed to be peaceful and positive or painful and agonizing is based upon experience; nevertheless, it is an inevitable limit that is one day attained by all. Siddhartha, a book of self discovery by author Hermann Hesse,…
When imagining the deadliest animal in the world, the faces that usually come to mind are that of a tiger, a snake, or maybe a shark. However, the most dangerous animal in the world does not have the claws of a tiger, the venom of a snake, or the teeth of a shark.

The most common species is culex pipiens, but there are others such as aedes aegypti, aedes…
