This Killer Whale‚ Keiko‚ was born in the wild and captured around the age of two. He was then sold and transferred from Iceland to an amusement park in Mexico‚ where he lived in a single pool without contact with any other Orcas from 1985 to 1996. The amusement park had a few bottle nosed dolphins in the same program‚ but for the most part Keiko was alone. Later‚ Keiko was conditioned to follow a boat and was taken out regularly to do open ocean swims

Survival Essay Christopher Orobinsky Class: 831 Extreme environments are places where “normal” life finds it hard or impossible to survive. To survive in an extreme environment you need intelligence and the will to survive. In “The Story of Keesh” by Jack London Keesh kills polar bears to survive because he gets little food from the tribe. He does this by using his brains instead of brute force. In the “Life of Pi” by Yann Martel‚ Pi uses his brains to access food and water. In these

Salton Sea By Genesis Quihuis The Salton Sea began its way to life in 1904‚ when California decided that they needed a way to tap into the Colorado River to irrigate their crops. They decided that they would need to create two intake gorges without the use of floodgates.

The sloth is the world’s slowest mammal‚ so sedentary that algae grows on its furry coat. The plant gives it a greenish tint that is useful camouflage in the trees of its Central and South American rain forest home. Sloths are identified by the number of long‚ prominent claws that they have on each front foot. There are both two-toed and three-toed sloths. All sloths are built for life in the treetops. They spend nearly all of their time aloft‚ hanging from branches with a powerful grip aided

TRANSPORT IN MAMMALS Blood is a connective tissue and every connective tissue consists of cell‚ ground substance or matrix and fibres. For blood‚ it has cells‚ matrix in the form of plasma and fibres in the form of fibrin. In transportation‚ the surface area to the volume ratio of organisms contributes to the rate of movement of materials. For example in Hydra‚ and flat worms‚ the ratio is so high so simple diffusion can allow substances to reach all tissues easily. If the ratio is low‚ in mechanisms

MUSA is located in the Cancun-Isla Mujeres Marine Park‚ which is in the waters surrounding the popular tourist destinations of Cancun and Isla Mujeres. MUSA is visited regularly by a combination of SCUBA divers and snorkelers. The marine park charges three US dollars for entrance into the marine park. This money is given to the government to provide protection of the reef. However evidence has found that this may not always be the case in national parks; funding is either not sufficient or not

Exchange in Mammals The mammalian respiratory system consists of the nasal cavity‚ pharynx‚ glottis‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles and air sacs (alveoli). The respiratory passages are lined by the presence of cilia and mucus-secreting cells‚ which keep them moist and trap dust‚ dirt and bacteria. The lungs are encased a rib cage. The rib cage is composed of the breastbone or sternum and ribs. At the bottom of the rib cage is a muscular diaphragm. Breathing in mammals. During inhalation

Biology Mammals Grazing Herbivore: Herbivores digestive systems can consist of one of two types of insides‚ it can be a foregut fermenter where the Foregut Fermeters has two parts (a tubiform and a sacciform fore stomach) containing lots of microbes. The stomach is bigger than that of a hindgut fermenter considering its usually a bigger animal‚ the stomach has an extra chamber to help devour glucose from the cellulose (the herbivores diet is largely cellulose and is broken down by the microbes)
