My favorite animals are Dolphins and whales and it is because of that love that this photo caught my eye the most.

Sharks play an important role in regulating many species‚ not just other fish. In order for the marine ecosystem to stay in balance‚ it needs strong predators such as the shark. The image that sharks have hurt their chances of being saved. It could take a very long time to change the opinion people have of sharks. A lot of the fear people associate

When marine mammals like whales die‚ their carcass eventually finds its way to the bottom of the ocean where it is picked apart by scavengers. The zombie worms takes advantage of the leftover bones by “drilling” into them using an acid‚ which allows them access
