There are many reasons why I would like to be a Dynamic Dazzling Dolphin cheerleader.

Introduction: The article "How Kitty is Killing the Dolphins" by Christopher Solomon discusses how pathogens from land are travelling into the oceans and affecting marine environment such as, otters, dolphins, and orca whales. Solomon mentions how human and animal feces are one of the ways causing marine wildlife to fall ill of viruses and diseases. The article explains many pathogens and how they are harming the animals and also ways to prevent the furthering of the pathogens.

The stickleback fish have gained much attention from evolutionary biologists because of their historic ability to adapt to conditions that were not favorable and to survive successfully in them. They are also able to give researchers insight into how evolution occurs in other organisms. The stickleback normally spawns in freshwater but lives in the salt-water ocean. Long ago when ice melted and receded, the fish were given new possible places to inhabit and they did, expanding their spawning locations to newly formed streams. Eventually, though, the streams were cut off from the sea and the once salt-water sticklebacks were faced with the problem of being stuck in freshwater with no way to get out.1

Dylon. G Mrs.Hornseth Period:4 Bottlenose Dolphins The history and traits and what a dolphin looks like is what this rough draft is going to be mainly about. Dolphins have a big reputation for having lots of curiosity. Some people thought that dolphins were smarter than humans considering that they have more lumps and a bigger brain.
Stuck in a cement container that’s only eight meters wide for 14 long hours a day, practically motionless. That’s how his circus life began. Tilkilim, also known as Tili, was torn from his mother at the age of only two (A Killer Whale Gone Very Bad). He would spend 14 long hours in an eight-meter-wide enclosure with two park female killer whales, who viciously bullied him (A Killer Whale Gone Very Bad). Now today, he spends most of his time alone, drifting lifelessly in a pool at Orlando’s Seaworld (A Killer Whale Gone Very Bad).
Bottlenose dolphins communicate by using a number of squawks, chirps, and clicks. Some even have "talked" on the phone. That's right! During one study, researchers in Hawaii listened as a mother dolphin and her baby—swimming in separate tanks—chatted to each other through a special audio device.
Whales in captivity have become too much for humans to handle. Many of the pools that they are kept in are far to small to accommodate their need for exercise. The small pools can also cause a large amount of stress for these animals as well. Sometimes these animals, like dolphins, are kept in captivity for research. After being in captivity for too long
I am going to tell you all about whale sharks’ adaptations. First, whale sharks diet is that they do not attack They do eat shrimp. Second, there habitat is in the warmer areas. Some have been spotted in the cooler warters. Last there habits they are solitary creatures.
Whereas in the wild the polar bear can wander endlessly without walking into a glass wall. Dolphins naturally travel up to 100
The nostrils are closed when the great mammal is under water to prevent internal drowning. As well as this, the hollow hairs (guard hairs) acts as a wetsuit. The blubber (fatty layer) keeps the bear warm as it moves through the freezing cold water. Polar bears are strong and fast swimmers and can obtain a swimming speed of approximately 10 kilometers per hour. This is a useful adaptation that helps them speedily escape when hunted by
As an animal with relatively high intelligence, some believe that keeping dolphins in man-made tanks are unethical because it prohibits them from performing behaviors that are common in dolphins in the wild. These dolphins live up to 30 years in small confined tanks that hinders their movements, much like a person spending the rest of his life in a bathtub-sized space. They slowly develop symptoms that suggest chronic stress, and might even attack human trainers out of frustration or aggression. As mentioned previously, killer whales are highly intelligent animals that can communicate with each other and swim up to 100 miles a day.
