Seahorse Essays

The Marine Biome Written by Molly Joyce A horse--like seahorse is eating shrimp with its long snout when the scuttling sound of a 10--legged red crab arises from the sandy ocean floor, its hard shell upsetting the sandy ocean floor. The crab grabs at the seahorse with its claws snapping ferociously. Crabs are one of the few animals that eat seahorses, along with some species of fish and rays. The seahorse, terrified, uses the current to float to a nearby patch of eelgrass. Once there

first thing people ask is, “why the seahorse on the patch?” Well, the seahorse signifies something very unique about the unit. The 36th Engineer saw action in numerous campaigns, and participated in the invasion of Europe. The unit was trained to conduct amphibious assaults, but always saw a change in its role. The roles ranged from combat engineers to the front line with the infantry. I am going to talk about the five amphibious assaults and how the seahorse on the patch came to be. Each of the

The Voyage The Seahorse, Lord Melville and Boadicea transports were shipwrecked on the south coast of Ireland; almost two hundred years ago, on January 30th 1816.There were probably at least 28 transports of troops on the seas, bound for Cork on that fateful night. The Lord Melville and the Seahorse sailed from Ramsgate together with the William Pitt while the transports Boadicea and Fox sailed from Dover. The Lord Melville was wrecked near the Old Head of Kinsale, County Cork, together with

Did you know seahorses don’t have any teeth or a stomach? Seahorses are a very interesting animal that could be misjudged as a sea monster. One that has a very curly tail, and bright, vibrant colors. These “sea monsters” are fish, even though they don’t look like a fish. They aren’t even very similar to a fish too. Seahorses don’t swim very fast either, or have scales, like all fish. Instead the seahorse has bony plates. Bony plates are little plates that are arranged in tiny

Scientists confirm that Seahorses, Snapdragons and Pipe Fish are the only vertebrates in which the males carry the burden of pregnancy. This type of phenomenon is one that leaves more unanswered questions than answers. This pregnancy doesn’t look the same in all species. In some cases, the seahorse brood pouch (the male alternative to a uterus) stores the fertilized eggs to attach while they develop. In other cases, after the mom deposits the eggs in the brood pouch, the eggs are fully enclosed

preserve/facilitate their population so others can look and marvel at God’s creation. Information shows that seahorse populations are commonly vulnerable to heavy exploitation due to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), aquarium trade, and destruction of natural habitats (Allee). The IUCN red list of threatened species tracks animal populations and classifies them based on conservation status. Many species of seahorse such as the Hippocampus Reidi are classified as data deficient; showing there is a lack of research

childhood. The author stresses this point on the very last page by summing up once again the mother live through the symbolism of a sea horse” outside, a faint sliver of what only two weeks ago had been a full moon dangled like a seahorse from the sky”(pg 260) the seahorse shaped moon like her mother was alive and bright just weeks ago, compared to now where her mother is dead only leaving the sliver of what it once

The brain is divided into two hemispheres: the left hemisphere which is in-charge of analytic function, and the right hemisphere which is assigned for creative thought. Located in the medial temporal lobe is a seahorse-shaped part called the hippocampus. It deals with the emotions and the memory. The memory is a process of three: encoding, storage, and retrieval. The memory encoding can either auditory, olfactory, tactile, gustatory, kinesthetic, or semantic. The memory storage classifies to two

Poseidon is a good guy, especially compared to his brothers. Hades isn’t exactly a crowd favorite and Zeus isn’t so bad, but most would prefer to be around Poseidon. Ask anyone who the nicest of the brothers is and this is what they would tell you. Ask me and I could give you thousands of reasons why Poseidon is the worst. I’m Nate, one of Poseidon’s sons. I know what you’re thinking. Nate? Seems like a pretty boring name for the son of one of the most powerful Gods, right? Well I am pretty

place, Sierra’s intelligence divulges her love of nature. For instance, she says, “Back to the beach, the tree huggers have returned with a treasure trove of pink-and-white cowrie shells, a few baby conches and one slightly odoriferous sun-dried seahorse, which is an amazing find.” In this quote, Sierra can clearly name numerous shells from the beach and she is also enthusiastic

Introduction Physical activity, specifically aerobic exercise, increases hippocampal and medial temporal lobe volumes, so these parts of the brain in higher-fit adults are significantly larger. This could imply that exercise is a stimulus to hippocampal plasticity.3,4 Plasticity refers to modification of neural tissue of the living brain and nervous system in response to experience and injury. These changes in the brains of aerobically trained subjects are bigger, and they demonstrate considerably

Animated cartoons that many people throughout the world spend their days watching as a form of entertainment. Many people find these shows enjoyable for the type of humor that is involved in the shows and the overall presentation of the show itself. Each show presents a different set of characters and a different plot point so it would be safe to assume that each show should be different from the other. Shows like “Family Guy” and “Spongebob” would seem to be completely different based on the intended

Relics of the Sea Horse Waterford, Feb 25 We have learned that the plate of the 59th Regiment was packed in five chests; that two of these were conveyed in the Sea Horse, which was wrecked in Tramore Bay; and that the other three had arrived with the remaining part of the regiment in Kinsale.

colors given off the reptiles, fish and plants below. From this being said, the sea creatures seemed to take in the blue light and reflect their bio fluorescent protein in return. Some of these newly found biofluorescent sea creatures include the Seahorse hippocampus erectus and green fluorescent swell shark. Another new discovery is that this protein contains a pigment called bilirubin, which could illuminate liver disease, states Science News. Watching this ted talk opened my eyes to the possibilities

The Greeks had a myth about Sisyphus, a man doomed to an eternity of pushing a rock up hill. Every time he would get to the top, the rock would roll back down thus beginning his journey again. My life can be embodied in this one story. For many years, I have struggled to find happiness, slowly losing it to what seemed like a lifetime of chaos. I questioned how this could possibly be true. How could a life so extraordinary turn itself on me, only to leave me in a bout of depression? I sought after

Dave Zabriskie once declared, “He’s aggressive. He’s a fit of rage. He’s full of fury, and he should be one of the favorites”(“Quotes”). Poseidon struck fear into many people, and he was considered the greediest and moodiest, most bad-tempered of the Olympian gods. His family, symbols, myths, and his worship are reflections of people’s reactions to his rage. The family of Poseidon dates back to the B.C. era. Poseidon’s mother and father were Cronus and Rhea, who were Titans. His siblings were Hestia
