Blobfish do not chew but swallow these animals whole. When dinner walks along and there is no need to chew then the blobfish conserves a lot of energy. Due to their irregular meals that is an adaptation as well. They also can conserve energy as they do not need to escape from predators. The blobfish live long lives from anywhere between 100-130 years. This is due to the extremely slow growth and reproduction rates. The cold temperature, small amounts of nutrients, low oxygen levels and light levels are all factors of this. Due to the cold temperature all the enzyme reactions work slower.
The blobfish does share some similarities with other deep sea fish in the way the circulatory system moves the oxygen around the body. Fish have a single, closed circulatory system. This means that the blood is contained in vessels and only passes through the heart once in each circuit. The blood travels from the heart, to the gills and then around the body.
The gills are where the oxygen gets absorbed and the carbon dioxide gets released. Gills are delicate thin filaments of blood vessels, which absorb the oxygen …show more content…
One major difference is that mammals breathe in oxygen.
Camelus dromedarius has a closed circulatory system. This means that all the blood is pumped throughout the body while enclosed in vessels. The blood never leaves the vessels, it just transferred from one vessel to another. The blood picks up the oxygen at the lungs, then goes to the heart and gets pumped around the body, it de-oxygenated blood returns to the heart and then gets pumped back to the lungs where the blood picks up more oxygen.
The camels live in very hot climates which means that they need adaptations to make sure that they don't overheat and due to the hot climate they also need adaptations to help with dehydration. Camels have the ability to selectively cool their brain
