While they are sleeping they wrap their tails around seaweed so they don’t float away. Of course, seahorses are very interesting and one of the most interesting animals in marine life. This paper will explain the birth,food,and adaptations of a seahorse. First of all,this is all about a seahorses…

Common bottlenose dolphins produce a wide variety of underwater sounds (Lammers & Oswald, 2015) allowing the detection and discrimination of the position of a sound in three-dimensional space (Mooney et al., 2008). These animals are also known for their vocal learning capabilities, with high ability to imitate other animal’s whistles, including man-made whistles or artificial sounds (Lilly, 1965; Janik & Slater, 1997; Tyack, 1997; Janik, 2000; Miksis et al., 2002). This ability comes from the…

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.

Mirror self-recognition in the bottlenose dolphin: A case of cognitive convergence What was done? An experiment was performed on two dolphins one was 13 years old male Bottlenose dolphin and other was 17 years old male bottle nose dolphin. This experiment was performed to see if there is any ability in dolphin to use the mirror to inspect any marked part of the body and to prove whether they have self- recognition ability in them or not. How it was done? Two dolphins were kept in the pool for…

Historically, decorative drawings of heraldic dolphins and sea monsters were frequently used to illustrate maps, such as the Carta marina. This practice died away with the advent of modern cartography. Nevertheless, stories of sea monsters and eyewitness accounts which claim to have seen these beasts persist to this day. Such sightings are often cataloged and studied by folklorists and cryptozoologists. Sea serpent reported by Hans Egede, Bishop of Greenland, in 1734. Sea monster accounts are…

Captivity of Marine Mammals: The Negative Effects Of Keeping them From their Natural Home When visiting marine mammal parks, feelings of excitement and enjoyment flood minds everywhere. Even though excitement and awe is filling visitors minds, many do not know that the money they are disbursing is being used to help fund a worldwide issue with how the animals are being impacted at these facilities. Marine mammal parks have negative impacts upon the very animals that they propose to help, and…

thing I have ever done. If I had the chance I would totally do it again. In this program you get to travel overseas and explore what the ocean looks like it you haven’t already. It is an amazing experience because if you are lucky you can see sharks, whales, and dolphins in the water. If you really want to explore and go to a lot of places, just do what I did. I went to 9 different places and they were all unique in a different way. It made me think that where I lived was dull and boring…

harvest, risk of free riders, and contingency would contribute to the Meriam’s desire and essential, need to enact risk reduction reciprocity strategies. However, Bliege Bird et al. (2002) found that only harvest size truly impacted willingness to share, and contingency rates, sanctioning free riders, and risk reduction did not exist among the Meriam. It is very interesting because through risk reduction and contingency one would think they would be easily able to spot free riders and punish…

Their extended bodies are surrounded by bony rings with small gill slits (Zubi, 2004). Their fin patterns and distributions are different than those for other bony fish. They have no pelvic fins, small pectoral fins, and one dorsal fin (Zubi, 2004). The pectoral fins turn the Seahorse and aid in steering, while the dorsal fin moves it forward. The coronet of the Seahorse is its most distinctive feature, helping in identification as the thumbprint does for humans (Zubi, 2004). Seahorses are…
