The Sperm Whale looks like a plain whale and it is just like any other whale with some difference. The name of the Sperm Whale is the weirdest thing about it, I think. To discover this you will need to read a bit. The Sperm Whale or Physeter Catodon is like the legend of Moby-Dick! He's the greatest living creature with teethes on this world. The Sperm Whale, here we are again, why is it called the sperm whale? It has a white-milky substance (Spermaceti) in his head and people first thought that
Tool use and culture In any event some wild bottlenose dolphins utilize devices. In Shark Bay, dolphins put a marine wipe on their platform, probably to ensure it when hunting down sustenance on the sandy ocean floor, This has just been seen in this cove (first in 1997), and is prevalently honed by females. Ocean otters are the main other known marine mammalian device clients. A recent report demonstrated moms in all probability educate the conduct to their posterity, showing society (conduct gained
Year 9 Science Ecology Symbiosis Symbiosis Symbiosis is the relationship between two living organisms. The main types of symbiosis are mutualism, parasitism and commensalism. The association between the two organisms can be beneficial to one or two of the species or in some cases be harmful, depending on the type of symbiosis. Commensalism Commensalism is a biological term which is used to describe the relationship between two living organism, where in which one benefits from the other without
OCEANOGRAPHY PROJECT KILLER WHALE & BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN BY NOAH HEBERT 1. Noah Hebert Research paper project February 10th, 2018 My first animal i would be talking about is the killer whale. More specifically the kingdom this animal comes from is the cetacea which is a diverse set of aquatic creatures such as porpoises, dolphins, and whales. Generally cetaceans are spread out worldwide but it’s shown that most of the species enjoy living in colder waters in both the southern
Bottlenose Dolphins Dolphins are extraordinarily shrewd marine warm blooded creatures and are a bit of the gathering of toothed whales that fuses orcas and pilot whales. They are found far and wide, generally in shallow seas of the territory resigns, and are carnivores, by and large eating fish and squid. The bottlenose dolphin is a champion among the most clearly comprehended sorts of marine very much developed animals. They have an intense body and a short, thick bill. Their tint ranges from light
Common bottlenose dolphins and killer whales are the most well-known types of the dolphin on Earth. Both of them are warm-blooded marine mammals belonging to the Delphinidae family. The scientific name of the common bottlenose dolphin is Tursiops truncatus, which means “dolphinlike”, and the killer whale is Orcinus orca, which means “of the kingdom of the dead”. This name is likely a reference to killer whales’ outstanding hunting skill. In Latin, orca means "large-bellied pot or jar". Both animals
environment in so many cases. In the Japanese dolphin slaughters is a prime example of that. The dolphin slaughters are eventually going to cause an entire species to become extinct because they are killing around 20,000 bottlenose dolphins per year. Taiji, alone, kills more than 2,300 Bottlenose Dolphins during the hunting seasons (Glionna). Japan likes to say that they are only doing this for the dolphin meat and to sell the living dolphins; however, this is a false statement because there is little to
Whale, aquatic mammal and the largest animals that have ever lived in the ocean. They are most closely related to hippopotamuses. Characteristic and behavior are warm-blooded, and produce milk to feed their young. Their adaptation for aquatic life include a streamlined form, the tail is used for propulsion and the head is very large. The whale have nostril where is on the top of the head called blowholes. They have small eyes, great pressures and hearing also excellent and extremely intelligent.
are also hunted as long as three thousand years ago as resources: their meat for food; their blubber for oil, and their teeth and bones for clothes, jewelry, or tools (Bauer, McCafferty, Simmonds, & Wright, 2013, p.201). As time pass, dolphin and whale hunting became a more prominent and structured industry, and the knowledge about these marine mammals’ biology and behaviors grew. In recent decades, with the help of ample media exposure and scientific publications, the public shifted its attitude
So let’s say that you were an orca or a dolphin and you were held in captivity against your will by another human being. How would you feel 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 Nineteen sixties, the first marine mammals were put into
For over fifty years, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment has differentiated itself from regional zoos and competitors such as: Six Flags, Universal Studios, and Disney as a “leading theme park and entertainment company delivering personal, interactive and educational experiences” by enabling its guests “to celebrate, connect with and care for the natural world we share” ("Premier Experiences," 2015). SeaWorld’s focus on animal contact, particularly aquatic animals, has positioned the organization as
the possibility of using captive breeding to sustain populations that would otherwise be endangered or eliminated by various artificial threats. Several successful births of cetaceans have been delivered in captivity, primarily of bottlenose dolphins and killer whales.“ However, dolphins should not be kept in captivity, nor circuses because their health decreases in captivity and circuses. Dolphin Project, an organization dedicated to the welfare and protection of dolphins worldwide, said, “Here
In 2013, the documentary called Blackfish was released, a story about a killer whale that over the years at SeaWorld killed several people. It highlighted some of the major problems with animals in captivity. SeaWorld, known for having several different animal attractions; Dolphin Cove, Dolphin Nursery, Orca Underwater Viewing, Shark Encounter, Wild Arctic (Habitat) and many more. The organization first started with the intention of learning more about animals in order to educate the public about
is unmistakable when the blowhole is open. Bottlenose dolphins have 18 to 28 cone shaped teeth on each side of each jaw. The flukes (flaps of the tail) and dorsal blade are framed of thick connective tissue and don't contain bone or muscle. The creature moves itself by moving the flukes all over. The pectoral flippers (along the edges of the body) are for directing; they contain bones homologous to the forelimbs of land well evolved creatures. A bottlenose dolphin found in Japan has two extra pectoral
Scarification, a bloody and painful way of modifying the skin/body, is done by the Sepik River Tribe to show their strength in growing up. These scars are represented as a crocodile’s teeth mark as if the contributor has been “swallowed” by a crocodile. Though many think it’s weird or very terrifying, the Sepik have their reasons for why they do it. This rite of passage happens to teen Sepiks at the age of sixteen or seventeen at a place called Papau New Guinea (Scarification: Ancient Body Art Leaving
movie Blackfish by Gabriela Cowperthwaite in 2012. The documentary Blackfish helped exposed people to the reality of what was really going on behind the scenes at SeaWorld, with everything including their trainers to the overall well-being of the orca whales. Not only has Blackfish exposed how SeaWorld has shortened the lifespan of orcas in captivity, but it shined some light on how the orcas were living, how the orca’s behavior changed, how trainers
Imagine you are in a concrete tank, the tank is twice the length of your body and you are alone, you have never been away from your family and there is no way you can escape the tank without assistance. So you try and cry out as loudly as you can and you bang your body against the concrete tank. Just for the chance that maybe they will let you out, and take you back to your home with your family, they give you food; but yet, they still keep you in this little tank. As the hours tick by, the more

Despite all of the water pressure they’re under, lobsters still find time to dance! If you were to put on scuba gear and travel down through the miles of water to the ocean floor, what would you find? Well, apart from sand and other fish, you’d find lobsters moving forwards and backwards, performing their swaying lobster dance. This motion helps lobsters move through the water and quickly escape their predators. If they’re skilled enough dancers and can protect themselves from every threat, it’s
