Hammerhead sharks are carnivore because they eat meat much as fish species. They will eat fish to regain their energy because they use most of it swimming. They also use energy by using their sense of smell that allows them to detect blood. When a shark reaches a point when they can’t use any more energy, they will go deep into the ocean and stay there. Their preys won’t spot them as easily when they are deep in the ocean.
Director, writer, and producer, Gabriella Cowperthwaite, in her documentary, Blackfish, describes the shameless hunting and treatment of killer whales. Cowperthwaite’s purpose is to persuade us into opening our eyes to the reality of what we are doing to killer whales by confining them in captivity. She invents an emotionally wrenching tone in order to transmit to the adult viewers that living in captivity may not be acceptable life for the whales. The film effectively showed that the whales should not be kept in captivity by giving the audience examples of their signs of aggression and displays of emotion. Cowperthwaite begins her documentary by showing how killer whales can become barbaric when held captive.
I believe that the nature of the colonists’ opposition to British rule in the year 1763 to 1776 was all the above being political social and economic issues. First and foremost, I would like to begin with the economical aspect of the problem which began with the Stamp Act of 1765, which required all colonist to purchase watermarked, taxed paper which at the time was used in newspapers and all legal documents. The stamp Act of 1764 was the first tax imposed on the colonist by the parliament which lead to great disagreement. Three years later, in 1767 after the repealed of the Stamp Act prior that year parliament passed revenue act better known as the “The Townshend duties “which taxed the most frequent used items in the colonist such as lead, glass, paper and tea, tea being a popular drink at the time, enraged the colonist even more which than lead to the
The differences between the diving patterns of the resident and transient killer whales are due to their variations in their diet and hunting habits. Resident killer whales generally feed on fish in the near-shore region. They tend to forage for herring or salmon cooperatively in large social groups. Since they move in large groups, it is difficult for them to hunt for food in short intervals.

(Blackfish). Killer whales in the wild are aggressive towards each other just as they are to humans, in 1989 an accident involving two whales: Kandu and Corky resulted in Kandu bleeding to death. (Kirby 2) this would have never happened if the whales had the enough space they needed to separate from each other. Contrastingly, killer whales in the wild are more peaceful toward each other and humans. There is only one accident of an orca biting someone in the wild.

The Great White Shark The Great White Sharks, known mostly because of their white underbellies, are one of the most powerful aquatic animals in the world. They can swim at about 25 Miles Per Hour (40 Kilometers per hour) because of their strong muscles and forceful tails. In addition to that, male Great Whites can grow around 11.5 to 13.1 feet long, while females can grow from 14.8 to 16.4 feet long. This paper will demonstrate how Great White Sharks are an important part of their ecosystem, how their diets work and will adequately describe their habitats. As predators in their ecosystem, Great White sharks help maintain the coral reefs and seagrass habitats.
Humpbacks are baleen whales that use bristles to filter their food out of mouth fuels of seawater. Their diet consists mainly of plankton and krill, as well as small schooling fish. Whales, include the largest animals in all of life on Earth, and are a curtail part of the ecosystem today. They have high metabolic demands and when they were in larger populations, before industrial whaling, whales would have had a strong influence on marine ecosystems, even greater than today. They play several environmental roles including, consumers of several species, prey to large bodied predators, reservoirs of nutrients, and detrital sources of energy and habitat in the deep sea.
Slurs are used in different ways such as; racial, to get under those who seem unworthy of the person reciting it, to get under one’s skin and to aggravate others, and persuading to hit companions and teammates in some circumstances. Society used slurs to offend mostly the colored community as were seen lower on the social ladder and were primarily used by the white, wealthy community. Athletes use slurs to get inside of the opponent's head, being distracting to the game and how it’s being played. The growth and use rate of slurs of different kinds has steadily increased from the 1800s to now. Slurs are not only used today, many people from the community used slurs to discriminate against blacks and other races as a result of the white society presuming whites have the authority to regulate others.
It is a common misconception of natural instinct and imaginative onlookers; these whales are not people they are wild marine life. It is no secret that killer whales have a bad reputation, however what earned the reputation was sheer unintentional killings. Orinus Orcas are wild marine life that should not be prosecuted like human beings, and the name “Killer Whales” is the result of false
The formation of individual or group bubble net feeding pairings for entire summers, or even throughout different decades, demonstrates humpbacks whales ' ability to form reciprocal bonds outside of kinship (Kelsey 2008: 59). Yet, the pairings only last through the summer, once the winter comes, humpback whales mostly return to their usual feeding ground. The patterns of partnership for bubble feeding might be due to the fact that during the summer since there are predictable and abundant schools of fish (Kelsey 2008:60). Feeding success has been link to the familiarity between the pairing. This might show that humpback whales are capable of learning and adapting to the responses of other humpback whales.
All types of whales including, Humpbacks and Orcas are shown in the film. As the people are kayaking the animals are swimming around them hunting for fish. The scene is breathtaking because the people are so close to these harmless, majestic animals. My favorite marine animal is an Orca whale, I've loved them since I watched Free Willy as a child. There is something very calming about watching animals in their natural habitat live their lives as others gaze at them.
