The pots were about 3 feet 6 inches and contained two to three dozen good size crayfish weighing about two several pounds. The men said it was about one hundred and fifteen to three hundred feet long. Another eyewitness saw a great white shark the size of a tractor trailer had attacked a person. Many sharks have been clocked out as fast as 1.5 miles and the mega shark could probably swim in a longer distance since this is a bigger shark. Two percent of the ocean has been overlooked by people ant it leaves ninety-eight percent of the ocean for the megladon can swim.
The Northern Snakehead can survive up to four days out of water and can grow up to 33 inches long. The species has been nicknamed “Frankenfish” due to its shark-like teeth and aggressiveness. It was first introduced in a pond in Crofton, Maryland in June 2002. Researchers believe the species ended up in the U.S. due to uncaring disposal of aquarium pets. Other researchers think some people were trying to breed Snakeheads as they bring a large amount of money in some areas.
Zach Torres Oceanography T/TH 11-15-10 Great White Shark For many years there has been one animal that has struck fear in everyone that goes into the ocean. That animal is the Great White Shark. It has been known to exceed 20 feet in length, although most are about 5 meters long and weigh somewhere between 4000 and 5000 pounds. They live in almost all coastal areas that have a water temperature that stay between about 50 and 75 degrees. Perhaps the most well known place to see great whites is Dyer Island, which is off the coast of South Africa.
They are the largest member of the dolphin family. The Orca's skin is mostly black with white patches. Orcas have huge bodies and a rounded head with a distinctive beak. They have a tall, sickle-shaped dorsal fin and large, paddle-like flippers. The dorsal fin of the male is taller (up to 6 ft tall) and more upright than that of the female (whose dorsal fin is up to 4 ft tall).
It is the deadliest shark known to man and has been accounted for the most caused deaths. Hammerhead- this shark is easily recognized because of its hammer shape like head. The hammerhead shark has this type of head because they have all of their sensory organs in their head. Reef sharks- this sharks is referred to as the black tip shark because of its black fins. They normally live in the reef eating on small pray such as fish, lobsters, and small mammals.
Most jelly fish are dangerous as they sting other creatures, when touched by one of their tentacles. Clown fish are immune to stings thus why Marlin wasn’t affected. 14. Compare Dory, Bruce and Nemo, which is the best adapted for speed and why? Bruce is best adapted for speed, as he is a shark and needs to be fast to catch and hunt down his prey.
Their narrow pointed teeth are ideal for holding prey, most of which is swallowed whole. Tests on the feeding habits of angel sharks have shown that they react to any passing prey, spitting out anything that does not appeal to their appetite. They have complete faith in their camouflage when approached by divers but will inflict a shallow bite if harassed. The various species of Angel sharks range in size up to 6.5 feet (2 m) long and are mostly bottom dwellers that live on ocean floors of depths from 10 to 4,300 feet (3 to 1300 m). They sometimes prefer however, sandy near shore habitats.
Box Jellyfish are very dangerous fish that live in the ocean around Australia. They live in shallow waters mainly. The Jellyfish are extremely clear and large, so they are impossible to see in the water. They have nine feet long tentacles, and 24 unblinking eyes, so they can see 360 degrees around. If they come close to you, you will get stuck in there tentacles (Tarshis 6-7).
SO what the killer whale does it dives in the water and become submerged in the water for more than 15 minutes so they can use echolocation and listen where their prey is 3. Another selective pressure is the pressure that increases as they dive. Unlike human scuba divers, a whale doesn’t breathe air under pressure. It inhales only at the surface. Furthermore, in diving mammals, the alveoli collapse at about 3 atmospheres of pressure (about 90 feet), forcing air into the bronchioles (rigid air passages), a region where gases are not exchanged.
They accomplish this by feeding on algae and bacteria. 8 Species of mussels are native to the river. The most prevalent are the eastern elliptio mussel and the eastern lamp-mussel. Mussels are eaten by a variety of birds, turtles, fish, muskrats and other mammals. Zebra Mussels are an invasive species that can cause harm to native species by attaching themselves to their shells preventing free movement and can even cut off their oxygen
