They have been known to feed on fish, dolphins, whales and seals. Sharks prefer meals with a high fat content to give them energy. They are ambush hunters, taking their prey by surprise from underneath. They have been known to come up from the bottom so fast that their entire body has left the water. The Great White has only one natural predator, the orca.
I continued to cast at the bank making long cast for a deeper run of the crank bait. “Get the net” as I set the hook on a nice fish that seemed was going to be a problem since this was my first time actually catching a fish out of a boat. As the fish jumped a couple times out of the water trying to throw the crank bait my partner says “Nice fish” as he nets the fish and lets me know it is about the same size he caught. I was so excited I couldn`t wait to catch another
I would relax quietly on the lime rock bed of the swimming hole and watch the movement of the fish swimming below. As I sat with my feet dangling over the edge, my mind would to take me far beneath, swimming deep into the clear green-blue water, the gentle swaying of sea grass brushing softly against me I would wonder what it must be like to be a fish. When the sunset began to go down I knew it was time to head back home. I was always up for a good competition. So during weekends, my cousin would come out to stay with us to get away from the city, she enjoyed swimming we would head to the swimming hole where we pretended to be in the Olympics we would have relay races to see who could get to the other side first.
Sharks, an animal that has survived multiple stages of extinction and surprisingly an extremely shy animal. The documentary Sharkwater by Rob Stewart is an extremely eye opening movie. The documentary primarily takes place in the Galapagos and the Cocos Island. During this video Rob shows the audience things that don’t get talked about on the news like shark attacks do. After watching the documentary I was shocked about what was happening to these animals and how big of an industry it is.
At any second, one of the eighty-five recreational swimmers could submerge, and never recover to the surface. It’s up to the lifeguard to make sure that doesn’t happen. When we think of life-saving careers, we picture doctors and police officers-rarely lifeguards. Instead, we envision the Baywatch beach run with the renowned red bathing suit or perhaps a tan teenager slumped in his lifeguarding chair, polarized sunglasses cocked just enough so that his closed lids are visible. As a pool protector, Geena Carey-a friendly seventeen-year-old with a sharp mind and bright smile-can relate.
~Avoid swimming if there are seals, dolphins, whales or baitfish nearby. ~Getting this information across to beach swimmers could go a long way to keeping people safe. The second suggestion is to "get sharks on twitter" It might sound crazy, but this brand new initiative could just work. The newly installed Shark Monitoring System saw more than 330 sharks tagged with electronic devices set to send out a tweet whenever they swim within one kilometer of a beach. The tweet appears on the official Twitter account of Surf Life Saving Western Australia (@SLSWA).
Two percent of the ocean has been overlooked by people ant it leaves ninety-eight percent of the ocean for the megladon can swim. This shark could be a very intelligent shark by possibly attacking its pray as fast as it can and head down the bottom of the big blue. The evidence has proven that there was a time this shark had lived because of the physical evidence shown by the teeth collected. The pictures clearly state that there is a mega shark out there and the eyewitnesses explained that a huge shark had been around in South Africa. There may come a time when this shark may make a mistake and show its self to the world with
We would play a game where we dragged two tubes behind the boat and we would try to see how many times we could successfully transfer from one to another. Unfortunately, I was not the winner of this game. Many of the time the passing water would catch me and drag my body off of the tubes. We left the lake a little sun burnt and sore but still had a great time. June 09, 2012 Today at work was
The juvenile Rainbow Parrotfish generally spends its time in "mangrove sanctuaries", areas where the roots of a mangrove tree grow into the ocean and serve as a safe haven for small fish. Unfortunately, due to human interference and other factors, these mangrove populations are waning as well. This is opening these sanctuaries to predators and not allowing the juvenile fish that called them home to survive. The solution essentially narrows itself down to one goal, save the mangroves and, as a result, save the Rainbow Parrotfish. The question that I am asking is: "How much, in detail, does saving the mangroves help the Rainbow Parrotfish?
1. Introduction & Hypothesis Introduction: In conducting research I observed stimulation on a tide pool off the Washington State coast in the 1960’s. As the coast became more ecologically populated as the years went on, the competitiveness of species became very tough. (Keystone Predator Workbook) Since I enjoy being on the coast and observing the different kinds of algae and species I thought I would look closer into studying about them. While I was doing research, I identified the species I found.
