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.
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
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.
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.
They are also diurnal. Gila monsters lay 2 to 13 eggs and they mate in the spring but don’t lay them until summer. The mother doesn’t stay home with her babies.The gila monster’s prey is small birds and animals, mice, insects and eggs. Gila monsters are the only poisonous lizard in America. If you annoy gila monsters they grab you and not do let go.
Some species of frogs lay several thousand eggs at a time. But only a few of these eggs develop into adult frogs. Ducks, fish, insects, and other water creatures eat many of the eggs. Even if the eggs hatch, the tadpoles also face the danger of being
One amazing species (Birgus latro) can climb coconut trees, cut a coconut loose, and can make a hole in a coconut so it can eat the inside! (I'm not making this up!) They do all have to return to the water to reproduce however. Did you know that hermit crabs are not considered true crabs? Two big differences are seen in the legs and the antenna.
That was just mind blowing to me and it showed why this business of shark finning is such a huge business. Also the movie talks about line fishing which I have never heard of before this video. Line fishing is when a fishing boat takes miles and miles of fishing line full of baited hooks and tosses it out in the water for fish, sharks, turtles, or just any type of sea creature to bit or get tangled in and die. Line fishing is illegal in most countries but there is such a huge business in it a lot of countries will not do anything to stop the fishermen from doing it. For example when Rob and the crew of the Sea Shepard were trying to stop the Varadera from line fishing the Varadera crew was let off the hook by the Costa Rica government even though they were illegally fishing, but the Sea Shepard was charged with 7 counts of attempted murder.
(Anderson) When penguins venture out to find food for them and their family, they become covered in algae, which they later ingest when they clean their feathers. When ingesting the algae it can cause fatal symptoms, such as ulcers, and kidney failure. These poor creatures can’t seem to be able to escape the harmful occurrences that are putting their population in
The humpback whale and North Atlantic right whale are the top two that you may see in New Jersey waters though other whales may migrate there. These whales are large and move slowly. The whaling industry banned these endangered whales from being hunted when they saw the numbers decline. The whales are still at risk for death by getting tangled in fishing nets and colliding with ships or boats that are fishing, exploring for oil and whale watching. Indiana Bat The Indiana Bat has been on the endangered species list for New Jersey for over 40 years.
