    Last week I read two articles on invasive species and they are eating their way into this paper, The Monster Goldfish and Boar. This paragraph will be on how they are alike. Oh that reminds me, they are eating a lot of things they definitely should not eat like eggs, other animals, soccer fields, etc.. A very naughty thing they are doing is knocking out native species to the area by either eating their eggs or babies, eating the actual adult who lays the eggs or babies, seriously, no joke!!! They are eating a lot, but now let’s get down to how big they are.…

These eyespots are located at the end of each of their arm. One is also located in the center of their bodies. It can only sense light and dark. They pry open the oysters with suction-cupped feet by wrapping their around the oyster shell and then pushes it stomach through its mouth and into the open shell. A starfish have two stomachs. They are call the cardiac stomach which is a sac-like organ located at the center of their bodies and then it the pyloric stomach where the digestion is completed. This adaptation allows starfish to eat animals larger than their…

    The vampire fish. That is what the Sea lamprey was nicknamed when discovered in 1835. First spotted in Lake Ontario, researchers were horrified to learn that the Sea lamprey feeds on blood. These parasitic fish latch on to their victims and siphon their blood and other body fluids, sucking them completely dry. What separates the Sea lamprey from other fish, other than their horrifying blood fetish, is their unique body structure. These fish do not have jaws or any other bone structure in their anatomy. Instead of the norm they possess a skeleton that is made out of cartilage. With a unique body set up, comes a unique mouth. It is described to be a large hole filled with sharp, pointy teeth. And this teeth frame a just as deadly tongue.…

    Good? Okay, now picture a rat. And finally picture them both at once right next to each other, big difference, right? Well, they can be quite similar, mind you. They’re both mammals for one which is the easiest similarity but there are other things. - Now, I’m going to skip all the things that have to do with being mammals like live birth and hair and stuff like that. – They are both extremely smart and have gotten past complex problem-solving tests and mazes. They also both have large families of multiple types of their species such as the blue whale and the river rat.…

    Invertebrates-the Crayfish

    • 5192 Words
    • 21 Pages

    Crayfish are interesting animals to study. Through invertebrate research, experimentation, and observation, there has been much to learn about with these animals. There is much to know about these creatures, including their classification in the "animal kingdom." Anatomy as well as how the crayfish reproduce is an important aspect of these organisms. Perhaps the most important part of the crayfish is there ecology. Studying ecology alone can give substantial information on the life of the animal (or in this case crayfish). Experience with the crayfish had become an increasingly important factor in getting to know more about the crayfish. Observations of their behavior have brought us many first hand interpretations of how these critters eat, wander, defend, escape, live, etc. Experimentation on behavior has given us quantitative data on certain aspects of the crayfish after we hypothesized about the outcomes. We drew conclusions from the data and have related certain specific behavior patterns with past readings on animal behavior.…

    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…
