My Experience At The Lincoln Park Zoo Or The Shedd Aquarium

It looked like its skin was so smooth and soft. Before I knew what I was doing I put my arm out an inch at a time, until I stroked the shark as it swam less than a foot away from me. I had realized instantly that it was a nurse shark, and it was very calm, which is common in nurse sharks. I noticed the light flickering above me, the other explorers were returning to the boat and I knew it was time to go back to my own familiar world. As I rose to the surface I knew that I would never forget that day, and all the new unusual creatures I saw.

I could see small baby fish trying to get away from their parents, larger fish sleeping, and a reef system bustling with life. This is why I scuba dive, I reminded myself, to see amazing underwater worlds and their abundance of life. I have experienced those kinds of dives many times in the warm tropical waters. So when the suggestion was made to go diving in a local quarry, I immediately questioned why. I knew that a quarry is an area that was once used for mining stone, that has filled up with water from a natural spring once the mining activity was abandoned, I just did not understand why anyone would want to dive in one.

This trip was just with my family and grandparents (no not the shirtless grandpa). Disney has a private island that the ship was going to port at for a day, it was breathtaking. The ocean was clear as glass and the sky was a light blue; the water was so clear you could easily see all the stingrays swimming around that you could swim with. My parents were reluctant at first but finally caved and let us get the gear to go swimming with the stingrays. Far away they seemed menacing but the closer you got, the more friendly they were.

It was pretty cool because fish would enter, but would not leave because the coral would eat them! The fish I saw was cool and the only fish I knew was the Angel fish. I knew this fish because of all the colors it had. The other fish were big and had the biggest teeth I ever saw, but I didn't know what they were called.

Comparative Essay of Freshwater and Saltwater Fishing My friend had invited me along with him and his family to the ocean. It was vacation for the family, but for him and me it was the beginning of a week of serious business. We had an obsessive hobby to pursue. As avid and long-term freshwater fisherman, we were thrilled by the thought of catching those large and exotic saltwater fish we had seen on television a billion times before. Yet little did we expect there to be such vast differences between our freshwater fishing and the saltwater fishing, which we were about to pursue.

Not a big market but a market that was a me... ... middle of paper ... ...here I am” and I went off to go see my family. “That Octopus sounds pretty nice” said Flippy “He was,now let me finish the rest of my story.I swam back to my house and when I got there my family was there they said that they were so worried about me. And I told them about my adventure.” “I dont get it why are you the last Loggerhead Sea Turtle” Flippy said “Let me finish all the turtles like me soon all disappeared and my family with them from all those reasons that humans were doing to our homes.” “Oh thats horrible” Flippy said “I know, what humans don't know is they don't know what they have until its gone. I know in my heart that someday humans will think about this and help the animals. ” Works Cited WorldWildlife.org.

When summer time comes around people get excited about swimming , taking family vacations , but for me it is fishing with my grandma. Nothing is better to me and my grandma than throwing a poll out in the water and kicking back in a chair and waiting. Growing up my grandma would take me to do a lot of things as a child but fishing was my all time favorite thing to do. Sometimes on the weekends we would take little road trips for the day and in the back of the truck was always my fishing pole. My grandma would pull over on the side of the road when we would pass a river or a creek and we would always get out and look over the rail to see if we seen any fish , if i seen a fish i would run to the truck grab my pole and throw it in the water.

The sea museum had incredible sea life; which in one area you could pick up the starfishes, sea shells, and feel how each shell felt in our hands. On the one rainy day of the week, we hit the beach and looked for seashells. My sister and I saw many different shells while watching bubbles coming up from the sand. I did not know at first, but these were until my dad told me that they were clams hiding from many clam diggers. My Parents showed my sister and I how to get the clams quickly before they disappeared further into the sand.

An Aggressive Fish Anyone who enjoys keeping an aquarium should have a Siamese fighting or betta fish. This marine animal originates in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand where it once proliferated in cultivated rice paddies before capture by humans. Today, this is a popular freshwater fish to keep in a home, office or school environment in a small tank located on a sturdy table or shelf. Because this variety of fish is incredibly aggressive, it is typically isolated in a small container away from other fish. Betta or Siamese fighting fish will even attack its own species to protect its living space.

This relieves the tension that has been building up making the audience give a sigh of relief. And the film finishes with a happy ending as Brody and the ocean biologist swimming into shore. I think the scariest moment of the film was when the shark was in the pond heading towards Brody’s son Michael. Because throughout the film the audience have got to know the family and when the shark was heading towards Michael a lot more tension. Fear and empathy was created because the audience are afraid of what the shark will do to him.
