The sources that I read were about a brilliant man called David Bushnell who made the Turtle. His brother,Erza, is the one who actually the one who first tried use the Turtle. It also has that his nbrother although he failed his objective still succeded because they saw him as he fleed and then decided that it would be best to leave because next time they might actually suceed so they didn 't take any chances so they left. These sources are different perspectives of what happens.
They eat: plants, fruit, tree sap, small lizards,
What do the Chelonia mydas call home? The Chelonia mydas don 't just call one place home they live all over. They prefer the tropical and warmer oceans and sandy shores. Green sea turtles live in almost all the oceans in the world excluding the oceans that are located in the colder regions (ex Arctic Ocean).
The northern snakehead preys on zooplankton, smaller fish, fish larvae, crustaceans, frogs, insects, small reptiles, and even small mammals and birds. In the areas in which the northern snakehead has invaded, native populations are having gradual decreases because of the northern snakehead’s unextinguishable appetite. The most notable features of the northern snakehead fish are its snake-like characteristics. The fish has a long cylindrical body with the blotchy coloration and patterns of a snake.
Loggerhead turtles are species generalists. Loggerheads compete with other carnivorous predators whose diets overlaps with theirs. For example, juvenile loggerheads and Kemp’s ridleys in waters around Long Island have substantial diet overlap. Interspecific competition also occurs for nest sites for beaches shared with other sea turtles species; however, this problem was likely greater in the past before modern turtle population declines. The diet of loggerheads includes many species that are harvested by humans and consequently decreases in food resources can result in sublethal effects in the form of decreased growth rates and reproductive output (Bjorndal 2003).
Their front flippers help them steer, or sometimes crawl, through shallow water.’’ Even though it seems like Manatees have small eyes and no outer ear, manatees can see and hear very well. Manatees play an important role in the plant growth in shallow bays, rivers, estuaries, canals and coastal waters,
Sea otters diet is mostly small marine life. Otters eat slow-moving fish, crabs, abalone, sea urchins, clams, mussels, and snails. They can also eat 25% to 30% of their weight. A large male may eat as much as 25 lb. of food
At the bottom of Naple Island Gazette’s front page, I saw the headline: Manatee Habitat Threatened by Local Development. The article explained that a new housing development was planned for an area along the Okee River. Many of the properties would have docks in the river so owners could park their boats and have easy access out into the bay. I knew that the Okee River was the best place locally to spot manatees. They loved floating in the warm water and munching the thick sea grasses that cover the river bottom.

Dlnr Hawaii has written that “Mongooses are opportunistic feeders that will eat birds, small mammals, reptiles, insects, fruits, and plants. They prey on the eggs and hatchlings of native ground nesting birds and endangered sea turtles. The small Indian mongoose has been blamed with the extinction of ground-nesting birds in Jamaica and Fiji and commonly kill birds, including 8 federally listed endangered Hawaiian birds, such as the Hawaiian crow (‘alalā), petrels (ʻuʻau) and Hawaiian goose (nēnē). This research explains that mongooses feed on native animals and eggs of native animals. Mongooses have caused a large number of deaths of native Hawaiian Sea Turtles and made extinct many indigenous
They say that the population of Loggerheads is going to far up but just wait. In a few years Loggerhead Turtles can become extinct if we don’t act fast. They are almost endangered but not yet. Many people are killing turtles for money. That is not cool because this may kill the population and do you want to be known as the man who killed the rest of the Loggerhead's.
In Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Old Man and the Sea, the author uses turtles as a symbol for Santiago and his tragedy. At the beginning of the novel, Santiago talks about turtles as beautiful creatures which highlights his emotional health and positive connection to nature at the start of his journey. As Santiago rows his boat far out of the harbor he spots a green turtle, “He loved green turtles and their hawk-bills with their elegance and speed” (Hemingway 36). Santiago’s description of the turtles’ elegance and speed is symbolic of his optimism and strength. Santiago is strong and ready to keep fishing until he catches something even though he 's gone 84 days without catching anything.

For turtle lovers, Hawaii offers the opportunity to see green sea turtles in a sanctuary at the Punaluu Black Sand Beach. While this place offers a great view into the world of green sea turtles, it does have unpredictable waves and a bad riptide so swimming and snorkeling should be done with care. For people interested in water sports, Poipu Beach Park is a better choice - it has all kinds of surfing as well as swimming, snorkeling and
The red panda; a species somewhat sizeable than a domestic cat; is currently an endangered species. The red panda has a body type similar to one of a bear with fur that is thick with a rustic colour. They also have a lengthly, shaggy tail for balance and for warmth during the seasons with lower temperatures. The red panda is an omnivore. Its diet consists predominantly of bamboo, about 95%; which is very atypical for a mammal.
