The name of our organism is Deformis stilla. Deformis stilla is translated to ugly blobfish. Our organism is found in the deep seas of the Dead Sea. Our organism is a carnivore and obtains its food by dangling the light attached to its head in front of itself which guides the prey towards its mouth. It moves by fins which enable it glide like a stingray through the water, and it also pushes air out of its body to propel itself. The organism digests its food by taking in the entire fish or prey it catches and chews it with its razor sharp teeth. The sharp teeth come out of its mouth, similar to a piranha. The organism has a rubbery structure but still has a hard body looking shape. The rubbery coating helps it fit through tight spaces, makes it very flexible, and doesn’t let heat escape, so it’s always at a constant temperature. The rubbery coating also protects the organism from the high pressure of being down in the deep sea. The rubbery external covering makes it squishy and chewy to the organisms predating our organism. …show more content…
When the poison is sprayed at the predator, the predator will slowly lose all functions of it’s body and die within a couple of hours. The organism can detect a predator by using the light, a sensory detector, located in front of its head to check for shadows of possible predators. If this is the case, our organism will turn around and swim in the opposite direction. The organism appears as camouflage, so if the predator is close, it can try to hide. The organism also has sensory detectors on its body, which can sense a pressure change in the
Hi, my name is Ella Giovanna Oliva Tambussi. I was born in a small town in Connecticut called Windsor Locks on May 10, 1919. My dad is Giacomo (James) Tambussi, he is originally from Perledo, Italy. My mom is Natalina (Maria) (Oliva) Tambussi, she is originally from Voghera, Italy. Like many other Italians, they immigrated to the United States several decades after the civil war. They both departed from Genoa and arrived at Ellis island (my dad first, then my mom two years later), they then met up with some family and friends in Connecticut who had preceded them. My parents got married in 1911. They had limited
its victims on its teeth by swimming toward them, while using its first vertebra as
The ‘Purple Shore Crab’ (Hemigrapsus nudus) is a tiny crustacean that inhabits the mid to low zone of the Rocky shore. This location is an intertidal zone, meaning that the organism lives in a very harsh environment. These crabs, as the name suggests, are purple in colour, with reddish-purple spots on their claws. They are known as decapods, because they have 10 legs (the first pair is modified into claws), and unlike many other crab species they do not have hairs on these legs. Crabs are invertebrates meaning that they have a hard exoskeleton (shell), they are also cold blooded meaning that they take on the temperature from their surroundings, as opposed to trying to maintain a general temperature (warm blooded).
The type of marine organism, which will be reported on within the following text, is the Brittle Stars. The Brittle Star is also called the serpent star and a common name for a large group of echinoderms closely related to the starfish. These organisms make up the class Ophiuroidea; another common name for ophiuroidea is snake stars. These organisms can be found in all oceans but are more abundant in the Tropics. Brittle stars can come in different colors.
The skin of the whale is a simple yet compelling organ of this aquatic mammal. As discussed by Herman Melville in Chapter 68, "The Blanket," true whale skin is difficult to distinguish due to its extensive scope. From the thick, fatty, and tough blubber found inside the whale to the thin sheets of a transparent skin-like substance residing on the outermost layer of tissue, it is acceptable to classify this entire coat of flesh as its skin. Blubber, which sits directly underneath the dermis of the whale, is an insulating cushion of fat critical to the regulation of the mammal's body temperature. Moreover, the intricate network of tissue-fibers in blubber aid in the whale's overall hydrodynamics, facilitating the creature's ability to perform
In spring, the flowers bloom, in summer the sun beats hot, in the fall the leaves fall and flowers die, in the winter it gets colder. In Greek mythology they believed that Demeter was the cause of the seasonal changes. Demeter has an unusual family history, she went through many things that made her how they see her in Ancient Greece today. Demeter has many things that represent her as a goddess and that are considered to be sacred.
Sia Furler is an Australian born singer-songwriter whose music has earned her a Grammy along with appraisal from celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres. She was placed on the radar of stardom when she collaborated with top singers in the pop music industry which lead to the creation of hits such as Beyoncé’s Pretty Hurts and Rihanna’s Diamonds. However, while Sia’s creative energy in creating unbroken melodies and a smooth articulation of words may have boosted the success of these celebrities’ albums, Sia spares a certain type of originality for her own songs. Often, her music reflects the events that have happened in her life as she has explained this in interviews (Find the actual interview! Support Yo Stuff). Particularly, drug addiction,

prevents nearly any heat loss. They mainly rely on their blubber when in the water to keep them
First of all, an octopus is a cellapod. Which means it has a soft body, and no bones. An octopus also has eight arms, large useful eyes, and suction cups. ( Octopuses and Squid, page 6 by: Tori Miller.) All of these traits are mostly used for hunting. Eight arms come in handy when your prey is fast and can get away easily, large eyes are useful when you need to see in the dark or the depths of the ocean, and suction cups are used when they need to grab hold of something.( Octopuses Squid, page 14.) ( National Geographic, Octopus Facts.) Octopuses have blue blood caused by copper and bag like bodies. When born they're 1/4 of an inch and don't rely on...
Dinoflagellates have a pair of flagellum, transverse flagellum, that are wound up around the body and then when whipped in a wavelike fashion causes the cell to go in a spinning motion, giving it a forward propulsion. This helps the dinoflagellates keep their planktonic existence because it can help them stay at the top of the water column, making it easier for them to perform
Another instinct that also comes from our ancestors is the fear of snakes. Snakes are dangerous creatures and can kill someone with one bite. Some snakes have hollow fangs which they use to inject venom under the skin of its prey. Other snakes have grooves in there fangs. The snake’s venom stays sticky and in the form of a small glob. When the snake attacks its pr...
Mimicry among fish species can be remarkably precise which highlights the extraordinary ability of natural selection to mold living species either into completely new species or species that accurately resemble other species. As predators become more adept in the act of hunting their prey, the prey must in turn explore innovative ways of evasion (Sewell, 2010). This triggers predators who have not adopted the speed and dexterity of their preys to consequently, find craftier ways to hunt. Hence, mimicry is a continuously evolving process and it will be interesting to discover how known fish species will look like a thousand years from now.
