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).
Chris Chapman Dr. Karen Keane-Hines Anatomy &Physiology II MANATEE Long ago manatees were mistaken for mermaids or sirens-luring sailors to their deaths on rocky shores. So the order of these marine mammals has been named, Sirenia. There are five species: Amazonian, West African, and West Indian with two sub-species the Florida and Antillian Manatee. All have front flippers and a solid, flat, paddle shaped tail. Another related species, the Dugong, has a fluked tail.
The head of Dolphins have changed over the years as well; it has grown larger which shows that the lower jaw emerged. It ranges to the middle ear and this helps dolphins to be able to hear as well as to use echolocation. It’s believed that during the early Miocene period, the use of echolocation was developed in the form that dolphins depend on on it today. The early dolphins were smaller and believed to have consumed small fish as well as various organisms in the water. Researchers have carefully examined the bones of the fins for dolphins.
There are many individual species in each of the categories. Such as blue whales, salmon, and great white sharks. Many fish have adapted in special ways for self-defense. For example cuttlefish
The shark is to be said that the length of the shark is about four times the size of a full size great white shark and about the width of a car. I can prove that the megladon is real. The videos on the shark have shown two videos that seamed plausible. The first video showed that a great white shark that had been caught and killed, but was a lot smaller then the actual megladon
MY QUESTION WAS: How do crustaceans obtain oxygen and what do they eat? The largest member of the arthropod family is the subphylum (crustaceans). Shrimps, crabs, lobsters, prawns, and barnacles are all examples of crustaceans. There are almost 30,000 species of crustaceans worldwide. They live in sea or fresh water.
This environment forces this animal to increase its metabolic rate. 2. Another selective pressure since are their prey. Their prey have grown to be aware of the behavioral swimming patterns of the orca. 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.
This was expected as fish were proven to be more active during summer and inactive during the winter. Anyone have a cheesy “hook” to use for this fish paper? Breathing is essential to life. Being able to breathe means taking in oxygen which is then used in the production of energy. In order to breathe, an organism must be able to take oxygen into its body.
MARINE BIOMES Introduction The marine biomes, which are saltwater environment, are the biggest biome in the world. It covers about 71% of the earth. Marine biomes form a category of aquatic biome uniting estuaries, oceans, seas and coral reefs. Did you know…? The marine biome is located by the ocean or sea in lots of places.
Pestering, tormenting and throwing food to gators is usually the root cause. So if you’re planning a swim in fresh water, hoping for a spot of riverbank fishing or dangling your feet over the side of a kayak, be very, very
