Why Do Sea Horses Survive?

369 Words2 Pages

Sea horses have adapted to better survive in their habitat by their ability to camouflage themselves, there ability to move their eyes independently, and their toughness. Sea horses have a hard life but these adaptations help them to survive. I believe that these adaptations make a difference in life or death in these sea horses. The first adaptation that helps them survive is their ability to camouflage themselves. This is a helpful tool because if there is a predator hunting them, if they can blend in and the predator doesn 't see it then it can survive. The passage states in paragraph 3 sentence 3 "They can change colors to camouflage themselves, and feature bumps called tubercles that also help them blend in." This tells me that

    “A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel” (King James Version, Prov. 12.10). In order to fully regard the life of God’s beasts, we must preserve/facilitate their population so others can look and marvel at God’s creation. Information shows that seahorse populations are commonly vulnerable to heavy exploitation due to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), aquarium trade, and destruction of natural habitats (Allee). The IUCN red list of threatened species tracks animal populations and classifies them based on conservation status. Many species of seahorse such as the Hippocampus Reidi are classified as data deficient; showing there is a lack of research and concern over these disappearing

  • The Importance Of Sharks

    There has been a long time misconception on the threat that sharks have on humans. Originally developed after the release of the movie Jaws, the fear of being subject to a shark attack has escalated, causing humans to view sharks as an imminent threat to their lives. Due to their high status sharks have been a desired delicacy for several years. Shark fins are mainly used in a popular Chinese dish called shark fin soup, which originates back to Chinese emperors who saw it as an honorable and potentially healthy dish. Currently over 100 million sharks are being taken from the ocean each year due to shark hunting/finning (Shark Hunting – an Indiscriminate Trade).

    In my opinion, I believe that marine mammals should not be held in captivity for many reasons. To start, they are taking away the animals from their natural habitat. Secondly, captivity causes both major and minor health problems. Another significant reason is that the poor marine creatures do not have enough space to swim resulting in severe boredom and causing them to do harm to themselves Captivity causes many health problems for the innocent marine mammals. There was an incident when Six of Marineland 's seals were blinded, or got serious eye problems because of the unclean water.
