An Example of Marine and Tropical Animals
Marine Animal – Sakick
Tropical Animal – Uguanda
Part B
The Sakick
The Sakick is a relatively large omnivorous sea creature that dwells in coral reefs and preys upon multiple fish species as well being able to eat ocean vegetation as well. Sakick’s natural habitat is full of a variety of larger species but because of the Sakick’s natural defence capabilities it is prey to nearly no other creatures besides humans, however the hunting of Sakick’s is relatively light as they do not possess many profitable traits. Sakick’s are strong swimmers; they swim across bays or wide leads without hesitation. They can swim for several hours at a time over long distances. They've been tracked swimming continuously. Sakick’s die very quick, its lifetime is only around for about 1-2 years. The produce Adaptive features 1. Regulating salt intake 2. Obtaining Oxygen so they can breath 3. Adapting to water pressure. 4. Long tail and fins to make them swim with speed. 5. Camouflage

The Uguanda
The Uguanda is a carnivorous mammal that lives in an extreme tropical rainforest that is only around in Australia’s famous rainforest in Wollongong. The Uguanda is spread all around the rainforest, there are millions of them. The Uguanda’only live for a short time, between 7 months and no longer then 2 years. However Uguanda's, have a big competition to get there food, due to a big amount of Uganda’s, they have to fight for their food. However, not only is the food that makes them survive, it is also the sunlight and space to live. Uganda’s like to climb trees and they are very spikey. The Uganda is very small and tends to eat a very small amount of food. One of the foods is leaves. The Uguanda consists small ears, but yet has emaculate hearing. The Uguanda has sharp claws so it can climb up the trees and

    The White-Nosed Coati (Nausa Narica) belongs to the Procyonidae family and is a relative of the raccoon. The most prominent feature that distinguishes Nausa Narica is it’s long tail, which extends to about 50 cm in length, and accounts for approximately half of its total body span. The white-nosed coati inhabits dry and moist forests all throughout South America where climbing trees are an important aspect of their day-to-day life. The main predators of the white-nosed coati, boas and hunting cats and birds of prey, are also adapted to arboreal life making efficient climbing and balance while climbing crucial for the coatis survival. The length of their tail thus presents itself as an acquired trait that enables them to maintain balance as they climb trees in addition to its uses in the social organization of the species. As Hass and Valenzuela (2002) observed in Nausa narica their tail has uses in the social organization within a population against the threat of predators. The length of their tail allows them to be seen over tall grasses and vegetation when on the ground, enabling them to communicate with each other as well as communicate to the predator that they have been identified as a potential threat. It has not yet been established whether the white-nosed coati would have the same survival and reproductive success in their environment with their existing predators if their tails were shorter in length resembling that of its close relative the raccoon, although it seems plausible. The length of the white-nosed coatis (Nausa narica) tail is an adaptation in response to the external threat of predators that affects their survival within their environment.…

    With the evolution of animals living on land from animals living in the water, many changes needed to be made in order for survival. Each problem that these organisms may have experienced in the past has been dealt with a solution of some manner. One of the main problems was water storage. Because organisms in an aquatic environment are surrounded by water, they do no experience problems with water storage, but without an aquatic environment there are bound to be problems. The land organisms need to have water within their body that is able to be accessed when needed. A solution terrestrial organisms have developed is the loop of Henle in the kidneys. This is part of the nephron which makes a U-shape and is used to conserve and reabsorb water. Another solution to the problem of water loss is being nocturnal, which gives less water loss because of less heat. A second problem is gas exchange. Because oxygen is required, organisms needed to adapt to find a way to receive oxygen into their blood stream. Mammals do this through the alveoli’s moist membrane. This membrane allows for diffusion, and gas exchange is conducted across. The oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide diffuses out, and continues to exit the body. A third problem is reproduction. In an aquatic environment, male organisms released their sperm into the water which eventually ended up fertilizing a female organism. This is not possible on land because there is no way to travel easily through the environment. The solution to this was internal fertilization, where the male organism releases the sperm inside the female organism. The sperm would travel through the female (as the moist ideal environment) and eventually fertilize the egg. A last problem is temperature, where the heat is different from an aquatic environment. The heat in a terrestrial environment oscillates and drops unexpectedly. An adaptation made for this was the creation of endothermic organisms. Endotherms maintain a…

    I believe you can make a dog with puppies also take care of kittens by giving the kittens to the dog after the puppies are born. It may also be good if the kittens were orphans. For example: In the passage “Unusual Animal Relationships”, when it talks about the relationship between the dog and the orangutan, it explains how the orangutan (Suryia) became “orphaned after losing his parents”, and it wasn’t until he met the dog (Roscoe) that Suryia became happy, and Roscoe became his friend. Going back to the kittens, they may want parents so much, that they will be excited to have the dog as a mother. Plus, the dog, being the good mother she is, may care less about the fact that she now has more babies to take care of. Especially ones that are…

    Survival of the Stingray

    • 472 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Imagine yourself 150,000 years in the future. Another ice age is in full force. Temperatures are much colder, vegetation has ceased to exist, along with several entire animal species. The lion, once the king of the jungle, is no more than an alley cat scavenging for food. The great white shark- reduced to the size of goldfish. A new predator is on the prowl. The stingray, once limited to shallow, sandy beaches, has evolved! With it's new adaptations the power of the stingray is unfurled, free to roam in the wide expanse of sea, air, and land. <br><br>Many advantages have evolved in the once conservative stingray. From the large size of the present day animal, the stingray has been reduced in size and weight from an average of 12 feet, 60 pounds to 3 feet, 15 pounds to provide from speed, stealth, and agility. The broad flattened pectoral fins have grown a protective hard scale resistant to the hardest of an enemy's teeth, along with the secretion of a special enzyme that causes pain and damage along with a bitter taste to avoid being eaten. It's powerful tail has been lengthened to provide offensive coverage in a 360 degree area. Along with the sharp, barbed spines and deadly poisonous glands, the stingray is now a formidable opponent.<br><br>With the decrease in food supply, the stingray has adapted with his environment. Formerly a sole marine animal, a stingray's diet has now included the usual fish and crustaceans to birds and small rodents. To achieve this new source of food, the stingray now has the capability to move on land in the form of a speedy slithering such as a snake might move. A set of lungs accompany this adaptation enabling the stingray to breathe on land as well as water. In addition to land and sea, if a stingray should swim swiftly to the surface and break out high above, his new capability to glide would take effect. With a limit of a few minutes the stingray cannot sustain continued flight. He would be able to act as a scavenger stealing away…

    Dolphins are marine mammals that are closely related to whales and porpoises. There are almost forty species of dolphin in seventeen geaner. They vary in size from 1.2 m (4 ft) and 40 kg (90 lb), up to 9.5 m (30 ft) and 10 tonnes. They are found worldwide, mostly in the shallower seas of the continelnta shelves, and are carnivores, mostly eating fish and squid. The family Delphinidae is the largest in the Cetacea, and relatively recent: dolphins evolved about ten million years ago, during the Miocene. Dolphins are considered to be amongst the most intelligent of animals and their often friendly appearance and seemingly playful attitude have made them popular in human culture.…

    The term exotic animal describes any type of animal that is "more unusual than the standard cat or dog" (Slater). Larry Keller writes, "Every year thousands of animals are brought illegally into the United States… illegal trade includes animals both dead and alive. The taking of endangered [and exotic] species from the wild, and the pollution and destructions of their habitat is decimating many species." Television, movies, magazines, and other forms of media attractively portray the owning of exotic animals as pets. Owning exotic animals seem to be a symbol of status amongst the rich and famous because of their price and rarity. Many actors, singers, esteemed boxers, and other types of celebrities own exotic pets such…

    Essay On Marine Mammals

    • 570 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Marine mammals also breathe air, and must come up to the surface of the water to breathe. They have small lungs in relation to their body size compared to humans to reduce problems of nitrogen building up in the blood caused by diving. They have to make sure no water gets into the gas exchange system, and gas exchange must occur efficiently. Marine mammals have to be able to hold their breaths for long periods of time while they are diving. Air enters the lungs through the trachea, which splits into two bronchi and then smaller bronchioles. All of these tubes are held open by rings of cartilage. On the bronchioles are alveoli, where gas exchange takes place. These alveoli greatly increase the surface area:volume ratio, increasing the efficiency of gas exchange and more particles can diffuse at once. The alveoli are surrounded by capillaries so gases can diffuse between the air and blood. Mammals have a circulatory system, so their size isn't limited by their gas exchange system. Because mammals breathe air, unwanted particles sometime get into the gas exchange system. There is mucus in the trachea and bronchioles to keep them clean and moist. The alveoli must stay moist so oxygen can dissolve and then diffuse into the blood. The lungs are also kept moist…

    Acting and speaking before THINKING, this goes back to a humans’ primitive stage. We are all animals, in the sense that we are mammals. Manifested through our psyche or personality, each animal has a different representation. From personality traits, behavior or even symbolism, animals have the ability to portray these features in humans. In Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, four distinct animals are manifested in the main character’s (Pi Patel)spirit. These four animals a zebra, which symbolizes the struggle to survive and docility, the orangutan – a nurturing mother personality, the hyena for desperation and evil, then lastly the tiger, Richard Parker which represents perseverance and companionship.…
