FACT: Octopi squirt ink to defend themselves. Most species of octopusi can release a thick cloud of black ink that helps to confuse predators and provide the octopus an edge when attempting to escape. One of the pigments in the octopus' ink is melanin (the same pigment that gives our skin and hair color). FACT: Special skin cells called chromatophores enable octopi to blend into their background. Chromatophores enable an octopus to camouflage itself with its surroundings by changing the appearance of its epidermis.
Animalia are also multicellular organisms, and they can sexually reproduce. The complexity of animalia range from the uncomplex sea sponges all the way to very advanced human beings. Phylum molluska is the third level of taxonomic classification of which octopus are a member. Mollusks are known for their bilaterally symmetric soft bodies. The soft mollusk body is usually protected by a hard outer calcium carbonate shell, however there are some variations regarding the shell as you will see in the following paragraphs.
Underneath the receptor cells reside up to 15 afferent nerve fibers contacting or innervating a single alveolus. By way of the canal, which is formed of tightly joined squamous epithelial cells, the receptor cells can communicate with the water surrounding the shark. The canal is filled with an electrically conductive mucopolysaccharide jelly. The canal itself can vary in length between
Information 1. Physical Features • Their bodies are composed of an adhesive pedal disc, or foot, a cylindrical body, and an array of tentacles surrounding a central mouth. • They run the full spectrum of colors and can be as small as half an inch (1.25 centimeters) or as large as 6 feet (1.8 meters) across. 5 centimeters to 17 centimeters • They are polypoids - it is the configuration of corals and anemones, with the tentacles and mouth generally facing up, and the other side affixed to a substrate or connected to a colony of other creatures of the same species. 2.
This reflects the fact that amphibians are a large part of their diet. Garter snakes, like all snakes, are carnivorous. Their diets consist of almost any creature they are capable of overpowering: slugs, earthworms, leeches, lizards, amphibians, ants, crickets, frog eggs, toads, minnows, and rodents. When living near water, they will eat other aquatic animals. The ribbon snake (Thamnophis sauritus) in particular favors frogs (including tadpoles), readily eating them despite their strong chemical defenses.
They caught their prey by means of a swift bite which transfer the fast-acting venom. This venom will killing the victim and also breaking down the tissues to aid digestion. This species can grow up to 2.75metreswhich perhaps the longest species of the sea snake in the marine ecosystem. They are usually give birth to the fully-developed live young which are small in number. Morphologically, they have the rounded or pointed tips scales on the thickest part of the body.
It’s scientific name is Heloderma suspectum. The gila monster can be up to two feet (0.6 meters) and a maximum weight exceeding five pounds (2.3 kilograms They can be identified by their beautiful and color body which is black marked with pink, orange, and yellow spots. Usually their face is totally black. They are known as beaded lizards because they have small scales across their backs that look like tiny beads. Gila monsters are found in the Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts of the southwestern US and northwestern Mexico.
Chondrichthyes may come in a few different forms. Such as the very well known shark, this is my personal favorite. Chondrichthyes are also call called “cartilaginous fish”. The skeleton is these particular fish is made of cartilage. Cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue.
B. Possesses such large fang-like teeth that it cannot close its mouth. Instead they curve backwards through the fish’s mouth, very close to its eyes. C. Kills its victims by impaling them on its fangs, by swimming into them at high speeds. D. Uses a light organ as a lure to attract other fish towards it. The viperfish uses a process called ‘Bioluminescence’ to attract its prey.
I also believe that more discussion is much more thoughtful and properly sums up the report. Introduction Aequorea victoria is a species of jellyfish often found off the coast of North America in the Pacific Ocean1. Like many Cnidarians, A. victoria is capable of producing bioluminescence. This is accomplished through the action of two proteins, aeqourin and green fluorescent protein (GFP). In A. victoria, aeqourin binds with calcium and gives off a blue light.
