At a whopping forty-six feet and a massive fifteen tons, you can see why the whale shark is called they whale shark. The whale shark is the biggest shark and the biggest fish in the ocean (The Whale Shark Bibliography – Tethys Marine). As you can see it is not a whale. It has a mouth, which is around 4 feet wide. Its mouth is at the front of the head and not underside like most sharks.
In terms of quality, Neptune has dominated most segments compared with other brands. Each product holds the Association of Seafood Processors and Distributors Gold Seal; the only company to boast that achievement. Its products command a 25% price premium—at the least—against competitors. 30% of revenues come from U.S. grocery chains and organic food retailers, 33% comes from top restaurants and cruise liners, another 33% come from wholesalers, and the last 4% is from a company-owned fish market outside Fort Lauderdale. They have recently invested $9 million in six freezing trawlers; new equipment is sporting the most advanced technology available.
It had long legs and it a wide skull with lots of power in its bite. Albertosaurus is considered by many scientists to be the best known of the tyrannosaurs. A number of nearly complete skeletons, two adults and a juvenile, have been found. There are two recognized species and several in dispute. It is sometimes referenced as a transitory animal, a creature on its way to evolving into T. rex, but it appears that it was extremely successful and longer lived than the Tyrannosaurus
Family. The killer whale is the largest in its family of delphinid. Bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins, and Pacific white-sided dolphins are included in this group as well. The scientific name for this family is Delphinidae. Fossil Record.
MEGATHERIUM Megatherium, commonly known as the giant ground sloth was a very huge mammalian herbivore that became extinct over 11,000 years ago. A genus of elephant-sized animals such as mammoths, sloths, glyptodonts and armadillos, the Megatherium lived during the Pliocene through the Pleistocene epoch, thus existing for approximately 5.3 million years. It is asserted that this animal was the largest among the ground dwelling sloths with studies indicating that its size was proportional to the modern-day elephant. The story of this mammal as we know it today began in 1788, when a man named Manuel Torres discovered an almost complete skeleton of a large, bizarre animal in the banks of the River Lujan in northern Argentina. In the year that followed, the skeleton was shipped to the Cabinet of Natural History in Spain, where a scientist named Juan Bautista Bru assembled and illustrated it (Switek 1 ).French anatomist, George Cuvier named this spectacular animal Megatherium americanum after s observing the illustration.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE CARCHARODON CARCHARIAS (SHARK) for my research task, I chose to study and track the evolution of the shark. These beasts being one of nature’s top predators in the world and dominating the oceans surrounding our continents. I chose these fierce creatures as they were a perfect example for me to use in explaining the evolution and the branching of evolution purely based on the fact that they have been around for millions of years through prehistoric times changing and evolving into different forms living in different areas and different depths of the world, as we see they are a large amount of shark species in the oceans all coming from one place. Which will be discussed in further detail throughout this research task.
Diprotodon - (Diprotodon Optatum) Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Diprotodontia Family: Diprotodontidae Genus: Diprotodon The Diprotodon, meaning two front teeth, was the largest ever marsupial. The finding of fossils in Lake Callabonna in South Australia indicates that they became extinct around 40,000 to 25,000 years ago. It was 3m long from head to tail and stood 2m tall from feet to shoulder and weighed something in the region of 2500kg. Inhabiting dense forests, opens woodland and general scrub he Diprotodon could adapt to many environments. They were well adapted to eating plants as they had sharp front incisors and claws, which developed and grew endlessly throughout life, were well suited to chewing off pieces of vegetation and digging up roots.
They release venom from groves in their teeth when they latch on the prey. Gilas latch on to their prey and inject venom to kill their prey into their open wound. It is interesting to know that no Gila monster has ever killed a human being. Gilas primarily feed on eggs and newborn animals.When people throw trash in the desert, the Gila monster might eat it. Gilas may spend more than 95% of their lives underground because they can go long without food.
Among the many mysteries in the world,one of the the most compelling is that of the Loch Ness Monster. The Loch Ness Monster is a mysterious creature that inhabits the Loch Ness lake in the Scottish Highlands. (Wikipedia).It is a dark gray creature with a 9-foot long neck as well as a 14-foot long body(Livescience).Concerning this creature, there are so many questions left unanswered and so many holes in the various theories. How could a dinosaur live and evade human contact for 2000 years? How could an eel grow to 2500 pounds?
The Giant African Snail can cause humans to get meningitis , Meningitis is a bacterial infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis can be a deadly disease that can progress extremely fast. Giant African snails like to eat 500 different types of plants , and tend to eat through peoples gardens , they can also eat through plaster and stucco , which are things houses are usually made of. These snail can grow up to 8 inches long , almost 3 times bigger than a regular garden snail. I believe that if these snails don’t all get captured or go extinct they will become an even bigger problem and will spread all over the U.S. Once that happens there is not much we can do but to be over ran by
