echinoderms, mollusk, and just fish all together. This information was found out due to the findings of Aristotle’s writings. It is assumed that humans back way before 384 BC knew about these animals, but it was 322 BC that the first known marine life as recorded. This was recorded by Aristotle. Aristotle was the first to figure out Cetaceans are mammals. He realized there are only 2 types of marine animals. Marine animals that produce eggs within the body (viviparous) or the animals give birth outside

Swift, strong, stealthy, and fascinating, sharks are marvelous fish. They are well known for their incredible sharp teeth, and vicious behavior. Sharks are extremely unique and an essential part of the ocean and sea ecosystem. There are over five hundred different types of sharks living in the world.

In the documentary Blackfish, two women recount the story of a Sealand trainer, Keltie Byrne, falling into a pool of orcas and ultimately paying the cost of her own life. These women and an entire crowd of people watched in horror as Tilikum, one of the orcas, pulled her to the bottom of the pool and all three of the orcas took turns tossing her around until she drowned. Since then, orcas have been viewed as dangerous and lethal. However, this is just not the case. These majestic animals are gentle

Angler fish is a bony fish from order of Lophiiformes. There are 18 families, 5 suborders and more than 200 species of anglerfish. Most angler fish around the world live in the bathypelagic zone of the Atlantic and Antarctic oceans. They can survive up from 1000m to 4000m below the surface, although some live in shallow waters too. (National Geographic) Most of the angler fish are generally dark grey to dark brown in colour, they have huge heads and enormous crescent-shaped mouths filled with sharp

catches the fish he has been with for days. There is a lengthy description of how Santiago kills him with all his strength and lets his heart bleed into the sea. Ernest Hemingway portrays the twisted relationship between the man and the fish with literary techniques. He portrays this relationship through the use of imagery, structure, and paradox. Throughout the entire passage, imagery is a constant. It is used to not only create images in your mind, but to also bond you to the man, the fish, and their

The fish are in trouble. The oceans are in trouble. Our state is in trouble. I am a freshman student at the Pennsylvania State University and enrolled in an oceanography course. I grew up in Westfield, with you as my state legislative representative. In the course we learned about one of the biggest, arguably the biggest, threat facing the world’s oceans today: overfishing. Overfishing is when fish are being taken out of the ocean faster than they can reproduce. This is occurring all over the world

Animal Rights Some people assume that just because animals cannot speak that they cannot feel pain. It is not okay to torture living beings that have their own thoughts and breathe the exact same air us humans breathe. It is unjust and selfish to stand by and take no action while everyday hundreds if not thousands of innocent animals die without reason. No matter how much fur or how many limbs the creature has; it should be treated as equal as a person. A heart beat is a heartbeat regardless of the

Fish hook is a tool that we use for catching fish. It stucks in the mouth of fish and then we can catch them. The fishing hook is one of the most important devices for catching fish. Fishing hooks have been made of wood, human and animal bones, shells, horns, stone, bronze and iron over the centuries. Now they are either made of high-carbon steel or stainless still.

the dolphin. As will be discussed in Section 5 as well, the dolphin king myth is an example of an etiological myth and has special ties to not only Neptune, but his wife Salacia (Amphitrite) as well. Lastly, when examining the Fountain of Neptune in Florence solely, there is even more iconography to be noted. For one, found on the edges of the fountain are the more inferior Greek sea gods such as Thetis, Doris, Oceanus and Nereus, depicted alongside other mythological figures like Scylla and Charybdis

In 2008 two sperm whales that were found along the California coast with large amounts of fishing net scraps, rope and other plastic debris in their stomachs died. Animals who are most often the victims of plastic debris include turtles, dolphins, fish, sharks, crabs, sea birds, and

members can identify them. Some species have patterns that differ between males and females also, which helps mating to occur. For example, Lanternfish have photophores along the belly, on the flank, head and tail. The photophores on the underside of the fish are used for camouflage, but the lateral photophores identify individual species. (Davis, Holcroft, Wiley, Sparks, & Smith, 2014). Most animals in the deep sea can only detect blue light, as it’s wavelength can penetrate water the furthest, and therefore

Imagine that you are surrounded by millions of sharks that keep circling you. There is only you, the ocean, and a bunch of hungry sharks that want to eat your face off. What would you do ? Personally I would freak out, try to escape, or accept my fate. You may be wondering how in the world do sharks correlate with overcoming shyness, and how I learned to be less awkward. Funnily enough, being surrounded by millions of sharks is the best way to explain what shyness feels like, especially if you have

Once upon a time, many clownfish were first found living near the ocean floor. Let’s take a deep look down under to see exactly where they are. Clownfish prefer the warm water in the Pacific Ocean, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Clownfish got their name for their vibrant orange, white, and black-striped patterns. What do these colors remind you of? ………………………………… Yes, that is correct. These colors remind us of circus clown 's costume. But that is not all. Did

Shark finning is the practice whereby the fins of the sharks are sliced off and their remaining bodies are then thrown back to the ocean where the sharks would experience a slow agonising death; either the sharks would starve to death or would be slowly eaten by other predators. Millions of sharks are killed each year for their fins, which is only 5% of their whole body weight. These fins would then be transported globally just to satisfy the demand of the shark fin soup. As of late, there is an

help maintain the health of ocean ecosystems and help regulate and maintain the balance of the marine environment (Griffin et al., 2008). These sharks have slow growth rates and reach sexual maturity at a relatively late age compared to other marine fish, which leaves their population vulnerable to any outside sources (Musick and Musick, 2011). Sharks have been apex predators in the ocean for millions of years, however, the populations of sharks have been at risk for years as a result of many different

Immersing a killed shark in a glass tank filled with formaldehyde, Damien Hirst created the most famous contemporary artwork The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living in 1991 (Brisman, 2011). In contemporary art, animals no longer presented as images in paintings, sculptures, and photographs. In recent years, animals, both dead and alive ones are used in art exhibitions. The use of animal in art ignited heated debates about the moral dilemma between artistic freedom and animal

ANATOMY OF THE SPINE The vertebral column in an adult is composed of 33 bony vertebrae divided into five regions: 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 4 coccygeal. Significant flexibility is evidenced only at the level of the upper 25 vertebrae. In adult the 5 sacral vertebrae fuse together to form the sacrum, and later in adult life the 4 coccygeal vertebrae fuse together forming the coccyx. The lumbosacral angle is the angle formed at the junction of the long axes of the lumbar spinal
