I went to the national Aquarium a couple of weeks ago and I had totally forgotten how beautiful the animals and the exhibits are there. I loved every exhibit starting with the sharks and ending with the amazon rain forest exhibit. All the animals and creatures in the aquarium really bring out a different side in me because due to the high technology world we live in, we don’t pay much attention to the nature and its beauty, well at least I don’t pay much attention. When I went the first part that
What is the largest fish in the world? The answer would be the Rhincodon typus, or commonly known as, the whale shark. The whale shark is vey unique because unlike normal sharks, the whale shark is a filter feeder and so, does not have use of its teeth. The whale shark is also about the size of a bus. However, like many animals in the world today, they are considered vulnerable according to the IUCN. They are seen often in the tropical areas, but many behavior and movement mechanism of the whale
The yellow stingray is a member of the Urolophidae, or round ray family. The scientific name for a yellow stingray is Urobatus jamaicensis, which originates from the Greek words “oura” meaning tail and “batis” meaning a ray. It is most commonly called the yellow stingray, but can also be known as round stingray, yellow spotted stingray, and the maid stingray. (Piercy, 2009) Like other rays of the Urolophidae family, the yellow stingray has an almost round body, or disc body. It has a circular shaped
Analysis of the Ways the Director Builds Suspense in the Opening to the Film Jaws Steven Spielberg directed the film “Jaws” in 1975. He has directed many other successful films, which include ET, Indiana Jones, Minority Report, Schindlers List and Saving Private Ryan. However it was “Jaws” which made Spielberg into a successful director. He is now recognised as one of Hollywood’s leading filmmakers. Jaws broke box office records when it came out in cinemas in 1975 and is considered a classic
the night. They find a shipwrecked fishing boat. Matt goes underwater to investigate and finds a shark tooth in a chewed hole in the side of the boat. He takes it away to look at then swims back to the gap and peers in. Suddenly a dead man with a fish eaten eye, head appears in the gap. This made me jump because it was the thing I least thought was going to happen. I thought the shark would, turn up and attack Matt Hooper or the shark’s eye would be seen peering through the hole. That would

Although we may not fully understand the physics involved how fish swim, it is obvious from the fascination and the breadth of reseach that it will remain a goal of the modern sicientist. A fish's ability to propel itself efficiently through water is paramount to its likelihood to succeed. But before a fish need worry about any of the complications associated with moving through water (hydrodynamic drag, turbulence, buoyancy, etc
uncommon for these species to interact and breed with other species, as would a human interact with other diverse humans. The dolphins feeding behavior is adapted to the availability of resources. They sometimes are known to work together to catch fish from large schools, they also trail behind large fishing boats to catch what falls behind (Leatherwood). A large problem today is the incidental exploitation of the bottlenose dolphins in the Black sea. The dolphins suffer from entanglement in gillnets
This is the actual story of a trip I took with Smith Family into Canada. The total head count was 19, including myself. The trip took 8 days to complete. We left on Saturday, June 24 at 12:00am and got back on Sunday July 1, around 3:00pm. The great Canadian adventure started at 12 noon on Saturday to pack the bus and truck. The bus is an old school bus with a big rack on top to hold canoes, and screens over all the windows. Inside there are 8 bunks in the back for sleeping. The middle is where
In thinking of films that are able to exemplify many film elements that are put together in an interesting and organized manner the movie Rumble Fish comes to mind. The director Francis Ford Coppola demonstrates how metaphors are able to help decipher a deeper meaning of the film. Rumble Fish is a film that is about growing up and seeing new things that have never been seen before. The two main characters who are brothers Rusty James and the Motorcycle Boy, experience internal conflicts. Rusty

the fish swims for dear life, hoping to snap the line as it is getting ever closer to the fisherman’s boat. With a quick tug, the fish surfaces and is yanked into the boat. The angler’s cheer of excitement echoes across the quiet lake as he lips an 8 pound 14 inch largemouth bass. This is the reward of a long day’s work of patience. Fishing was and is a big part of the progression of man. From feeding families to just fishing for sport, fish have played a key role in history of mankind. Fish were
?Mexico? Wow!? I thought as my parents informed my 14 year old sister and I as to where we were going. I was 18 at the time and had never traveled anywhere outside of the United States. I pictured these amazing beaches and daydreamed about meeting a cute guy, not pausing to even think about the fact that if I did meet someone, they would probably live a million miles away. And who knew what my mom and dad were going to adventure into once we arrived there?they always like to have something planned
he eventually dies after the struggle (269). In a sense, Santiago, like James, is martyred "with the sword." Santiago's battle with the fish produces myriad biblical images, and while the most obvious are Santiago-as-Christ, others exist as well. Arvin Wells, for example, provides a Santiago-as-Cain analogy: "Repeatedly, [Santiago] addresses the fish as 'brother'. . . Yet, at the same ti... ... middle of paper ... ...y, Donald W.

We Must Save the Great White Shark from Extinction The Great White Shark, immortalized by the Hollywood film Jaws, is at the midst of an international controversy. The shark, despite its notoriety, is in danger of extinction. A conflict over the fate of these sharks has existed for decades, but with recent attacks the debate has come to the forefront. The environmental conflict over the Great White Shark has yet to reach a conclusion, as many factors exist that hinder resolution possibilities

For this project I decided to mimic the writing styles that can be found within The Cat in the Hat and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, two of his most popular books. In 1954 Life magazine published a report about illiteracy among school children. This article stated that children were bored by the books that were available to them at the beginning reader level.

describes serial killer Albert Fish. Albert Fish is the man who some believe to be the "most deranged killer in American history" (Rampo Catskill Library system, Biography resource center, Albert Fish ). So much so, that the character, Hannibal Lector in the movie Silence of the Lambs is partially based on him. Murder was not the only thing that Albert Fish indulged in. He also dabbed in cannibalism, fetishism, pedophilia, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and masochism. Fish was born on May 19,1870 in Washington

Canadian’s culture initiates from their wildlife and forests. Many different ways of living in Canada’s regions has an impact on the cultural view. The major problem with the wildlife view involving cultural acts is Seal Hunting. Seal Hunting has been continuing for years and harming many of the seas natural inhabitants. In the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which is in the Maritimes, is a popular venue for such activities. An exploration of a day in the life of a seal and hunter is portrayed in the Maritimes
getting this prize, and they are actually not that difficult. One way is to use a Pokéradar, and encounter the same Pokémon over and over until it is a Shiny. Another way is using a new mechanic in the game, called Chain Fishing. This uses the fact that fish Pokémon congregate around walls and big rocks, and allows you to ‘thin the herd’, and get the elusive shiny. The last way is to use the Masuda Method, which encourages interaction with other Trainers. The method is to use a Pokémon from a different
