Once there was an alligator named Tippens. He lived in a cage in a dusty old zoo‚ with nothing to do except entertain the audience of sweaty people that crowded his enclosure everyday. Despite being lionized day after day‚ Tippens began to conspire a plan to escape from the shackles of the zoo. Tippens planned meticulously‚ of course. He wouldn’t want to rush in and ruin his one chance at freedom. It was a bizarre plan‚ but Tippens felt as though it would prove to be successful as long as he followed

about this situation? Well‚ in the case of many unfortunate aquatic mammals in marine parks and zoos around the world‚ most of these magnificent animals are held captive in tanks with no room to roam around‚ or have to deal with being alone‚ which can trigger stress and aggression. Over the years since the 1960s‚ the first marine mammals were put into display for entertainment shows in Marine Parks like Seaworld or any other marine parks that was on the globe; around the world‚ people wondered if captivity

When choosing dolphin training as your profession‚ you have to realize what you’re actually getting into. There is a lot more than just playing and teaching the mammal a trick. You can prepare yourself in high school by taking extra math and science classes such as Marine Bond | 2 Biology and Chemistry. Many trainers pursue in Biology‚ Marine Biology‚ Psychology‚ and

Beluga whales often swim at depths barely covering their bodies (Ridgway and Harrison‚ 1981). B. Diving. 1. Beluga whales typically don’t dive very deep‚ usually to about 20 m (66 ft.). Belugas are not generally thought of as deep-diving marine mammals‚ but they are capable of diving to extreme depths. Under experimental conditions a trained beluga whale repeatedly dove to 400 m (1‚312 ft.) with ease‚ and even dove to a depth of 647 m (2‚123 ft.) (Nowak‚ 1991; Ridgway et. al.‚ 1984). 2.

Marine Mammals Marine mammals are a very diverse group. There are very diverse because of their shape‚ size‚ color and even the way they eat. Sea mammals are such a big group that they have only 120 species under the sea right now. Marine mammals evolved from their land dwelling ancestors. This means that all the marine mammals that we have now came from land mammals. Since they evolved from land dwellers‚ they got some of its traits or features. Marine mammals

way an animal can change and adapt to ensure its ultimate survival. In this paper I ’ll be exploring both how and why this process has taken place‚ as well as other factors related to this amazing creature. Dolphins are marine mammals that are closely related to whales and porpoises. They vary in size from 1.2 meters (Maui ’s dolphin)‚ up to 9.5 meters (the orca or killer whale); part of the largest family in the Cetacean order‚ the Delphinidae ‚ dolphins have evolved relatively

Even though the trade of dolphins whether using them alive for entertainment purposes is unethical and selling their toxic meat is dangerous for the health‚ the Japanese authorities are supporting it with all possible means. The Japanese government is not only preventing any publicity about the dolphin slaughter‚ but it is also bribing the International Whaling Committee‚ which is supposed to control the trade of cetaceans and protect the rights of the marine mammals.

lifestyle and environment. This can be seen in most terrestrial mammals which are nocturnal so use olfactory and auditory which work as well in the dark as they do during the day. Visual communication would be relatively ineffective in this lifestyle. In contrast humans are diurnal and use primarily visual and auditory signals for communication‚ but miss many chemical cues which many other mammals base their behaviour upon. Marine mammals often need to communicate great distances‚ and the water does

pod they all have a strong bond with each other. Killer whales establish dominance and communicated their social order by slapping their tails against the water‚ jaw snapping‚ raking‚ or biting. Like other mammals the killer whale is warm blooded‚ air breathing mammal. They are the top-level marine carnivores and opportunistic feeders. They prey on dolphins‚ seals‚ fishes‚ sea lions‚ walruses‚ penguins‚ and other whales. Killer whales inhabit all oceans around the world from the coldest to tropical
