Orcinus orca is the scientific name for the massive marine mammal. Orcas are not rare, but have declining numbers in some areas (Martin.) Orcas are found from the Artic Ocean to the Antartic Ocean. (Britannica) They belong to the Delphinidae, or dolphin family, which is the largest of their species. Female orcas grow to be at the most 15 feet, and weigh up to 4 tons, but the males can grow as large as 20-30 feet, and weight up to 8 tons. (Martin) The color of the orca is white in some spots, black on the majority of the body, and gray just behind the dorsal fin. It is white on the chin, belly and the eye. The white patch above the eye is usually mistaken for the eye, and may confuse their prey, but acts as a camouflage for the eye. The name “killer whale” makes people tend to believe that this is a viscious man-eating mammal, yet it is one of the most shrewd, docile and playful species of the marine mammals. The orca is sexually mature at 10-15 years of age, much like humans, which is 12-13 years of age. They tend to mate year round, and is able to have a calf every two years. It is interesting to know that lactation of the mother lasts 12 or more months (Wynne.) The life expectancy of orcas is 45-50 years of age.
It is also mentioned that orcas have a lifespan of twenty-five to thirty years. In reality, that is their lifespan in captivity. In the wild, male orcas can live up to sixty to seventy years and female orcas can live anywhere from eighty to more than one hundred years. This shows how SeaWorld fails to treat their animals
Seaworld is a giant marine life theme park. The greatest attraction to these many theme park would be those killer whales. In fact, these killer whales are the face of the park. As gigant as these mammals are, seaworld is keeping them in some pretty tight quarters. Mr. Jett and Mr.Ventre says “Wild killer whales can swim a hundred miles daily as they socialize, forage, communicate, and breed. In stark contrast, with little horizontal or vertical space in their enclosures, captive orcas swim only limited distances, with most spending many hours surface resting.” The animals don't have the freedom they need. Also when taking the whales out of their natural habit the whales tend to be depressed and not as heath in that situation. They need their freedom in the big ocean blue. Bring them into the small living units, breeding whales in captivity all for the entertainment of humans. At young ages the calves are taken away from their mothers on to a new seaworld park. Mothers of the calves have even been seen denying their offspring.
Trash in the ocean is becoming a major issue because it contaminates the water and in turn, harms sea creatures. The trash in the ocean is dangerous for sea creatures because they are similar to death traps. Trash, such as plastic and aluminum, are common death traps to the sea creatures. In order to improve the situation, the consequences of having trash in the ocean should be made aware to the public. The image portrays emotion because it displays a helpless seal that is suffocating from the trash tied around its neck. The reasoning and credibility are also conveyed in the image of the helpless seal.
From sea nymphs to housewives and goddesses to maids, The Odyssey has it all. This epic poem is filled with many different women characters that all have a unique way about them.

Mermaids are female while mermen are the males. Although some will be described as monstrous and ugly, they are usually beautiful and very attractive in looks, using their famous singing to seduce males, also known as sirens who sang songs to lure ships into rocky shores. An example is "Incredible Mysteries and Legends of the Sea" (Dodd Mead, 1967) described by sea captain off the coast of Newfoundland: "Captain John Smith saw a mermaid 'swimming about with all possible grace.' He pictured her as having large eyes, a finely shaped nose that was 'somewhat short,' and well-formed ears that were rather too long. Smith goes on to say that 'her long green hair imparted to her an original character that was by no means unattractive.'’ There are legends that describe mermaids having power to cure and give immortality while many are associated with destruction and vengeance. There are legends about mermaids appearing seating on rocks looking into mirror and brushing their hair. All those characteristics lead to a huge impact in our society.
The physical differences between males and females are pretty obvious. Males have deeper voices, more hair, and usually big bodies. Females are more petite, have softer voices, and less testosterone. In addition, both males and females have very different sex organs. Both genders think and learn differently in many ways. Everyone has a left and a right side of their brains, but some are more dominant to one side or the other. Males usually think more spatial or mathematical about things, where as, females are better at understanding language and social subjects. When we act out in behavior the difference between sexes is quite amazing. Testosterone greatly affects our personality and behaviors. The more testosterone may make someone break out in aggression or be different in how we

When Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins are first born, they are dark gray and get lighter as they grow older, sometimes this will cause spots (WCD). According to Whitfield on page 114, when the Indo-Pacific Humpback dolphin is young it has a normal streamlined body figure, but when it grows older it start to form fatty tissue humps. They have the average lifespan of 40 years (WCD). The Indo-Pacific dolphin can be between 6 ½ feet to 10 feet long with 120 teeth in their long beak. Using their long beak to eat, these dolphins swim up to the shallow waters and hunt for fish (Whitfield 114). Indo-Pacific dolphins are not the only type of dolphins that pray on the
