They can live broadly throughout the ocean on the sea floor from shallow to deep and can live in virtually all terrains: mua, sana, rock, and coral reefs. They resemble the commonly known garden cucumber, as they’re tube-shaped and can be tan, green, black, although they can also be bright blue, purple, or red. The sea cucumber uses its tube feet to slowly transport itself, with a hydraulic system internally working with water. Some filter feed their food while others use tentacles to catch their prey. Sea cucumbers can also physically change their shape to hide from predators, or look less appetizing. It is also able to spit out its organs to slow down their predators and can regenerate them in 3-5…

Most people think of dinosaurs as enormous, aggressive and extinct reptiles. That is largely true, however there are some misconceptions. They came in all sizes and shapes. Dinosaurs were the biggest land animals on this planet, but several of dinosaurs were smaller than a donkey or a pig. One of the gigantic dinosaurs that is very interesting to study more about it is called “Alamosaurus.” The meaning of Alamosaurus is "Ojo Alamo lizard." It was named after the Ojo Alamo sandstone formation in New Mexico. This dinosaur is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaurs. They existed in the Cretaceous. We can describe an Alamosaurus as a gargantuan quadrupedal herbivore with an extremely long neck, limbs, and tail. The Alamosaurus was herbivorous dinosaur. The habitat of this extremely long neck dinosaur consisted of “semi-arid plains with water” available spasmodically in the form of swamps and ponds. This long neck is use for forage leaves, fruits, and vegetable from atop tall tree. Furthermore, the long neck and tail also used to protect itself against predators. Even though little evidence has been found, some paleontologists say an Alamosaurus highly possible had body like other sauropods at the time (Armour). An Alamosaurus…
