The viperfish uses a process called ‘Bioluminescence’ to attract its prey. E. Its teeth also aid it in grabbing and holding onto prey that it finds while hunting in the pitch darkness of the depths of the ocean. F. The viperfish possesses a hinged skull and extremely large stomach, enabling it to rotate its head vertically to consume larger prey, in addition to the ability to consume large amounts of food when it is plentiful in supply. G. It is known to migrate vertically. Usually located in deeper waters during the daytime, whereas at night it is known to swim up to around 2000 feet.
December 1, 2011 Paul Guernsey College Composition Final Conservation of the Bluefin Tuna Bluefin Tuna, or Thunnus thynnus by its Latin name, is one of the largest, fastest swimming, and beautifully colored fish in the entire ocean. Their coloring is made to camouflage themselves from both above and below with metallic blue on top and shimmering silver-white on the bottom. Their bodies are torpedo shaped and built for speed and endurance while hunting for food, or being hunted (National Geographic). bluefin Tuna are prey only to some marine life such as, some whale, shark, and marine mammal species. With highly migratory species like bluefin tuna, management is complicated because these species migrate thousands of miles across oceans and international borders and are fished by many nations.
They caught their prey by means of a swift bite which transfer the fast-acting venom. This venom will killing the victim and also breaking down the tissues to aid digestion. This species can grow up to 2.75metreswhich perhaps the longest species of the sea snake in the marine ecosystem. They are usually give birth to the fully-developed live young which are small in number. Morphologically, they have the rounded or pointed tips scales on the thickest part of the body.
Still, they are to be taken seriously. The following is a list of all of Arkansas’s venomous snakes. Southern Copperhead Adult Copperheads usually grow to a total length of 20–37 inches. Males are usually larger than their female counterpart. The largest Copperhead ever recorded was 53 inches in length.
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.
They also have very large eyes. In proportion to any other animal they have the largest eye-to-body ration of any animal in the world. Vampire squid move through the water by propulsion (sucking in and pushing out water through a specialized siphon jet located under its mantle) and by later flapping fins at the top of its body that closely resemble ears. What’s interesting about these fins are that they change size, shape, and position as the squid matures. After they reach a size of 15-25 mm in length, they begin to develop a pair of fins above the aforementioned pair.
Octopuses are one of the most interesting sea creatures. Name octopus is derived from a Greek language and it means eight-footed. There are over 200 species of octopuses and all of them live in oceans around the world, usually near the coral reefs. Octopuses are invertebrates, which mean that they are boneless. Because of that, octopus loses its shape when it is pulled out of the Octopi have arms, not tentacles.
This is a project about the Gila monster. With the name of Gila monster, some people may think it is a mythical creature or a sea animal. That is not correct. The venomous Gila monster (pronounced HEE-luh) is the largest lizard native to the United States. It’s scientific name is Heloderma suspectum.

However with a few tips and techniques you can be a successful Bass fisherman. I. What are the common types of Bass There are two groups of bass: Black Bass and True Bass. The black bass species is the most common found in lakes, rivers, and streams.
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.
