It lays 1-3 eggs in it’s nest which is then sat on by the female most of the time until the eggs hatch. It has a better chance of reproducing higher in the mountains, especially when they choose to nest on a native tree called the Ohi. The breeding season is from March through September, and if a pair is together for one year they will most likely stay together for the rest of their life. They will keep their baby for about 7-9 weeks before they let them go. They are very territorial and can attack anything they feel that threatens them.…
Chapter 5 Dispute: Humans and Sharks both have four gill arches as embryos, but the germ layers and arches develop into unrelated structure in each organism My Dispute Statement: Both sharks and humans develop gill arches when enveloped in the embryo, with the arches creating very similar structures and functions in both. In humans during conception, 4 swellings appear on the throat area. These swellings called arches develop to create many of the structures and functions inside the head.…
Panda Express: Consider four bugs and their habitats. In temporary ponds we can find Green and Red Bugs, in permanent rivers we can find Orange and Blue bugs. The Green and Red bugs are food to fish and salamanders, but the Orange and Blue are unpalatable to both fish and salamanders. Salamander larvae are never found in the presence of fish and are quite palatable to fish. (a) Design an experiment that would reveal whether the larvae of each Bug “Species” can detect and respond to the presence of a predator (b) Why would the bugs choose either temporary ponds or permanent rivers to lay eggs based on the experience with…
The Harlequin Duck is one of the many organisms on the Canadian endangered species list. Although the number of Harlequin Ducks is gradually growing and the ducks have been spotted in different regions of Canada. Harlequin Ducks are small, subarctic sea ducks that weigh an average of 1.3lbs and can be up to 18 inches in height. The bright colours of the males attract the females. They tend to nest and breed on fast moving streams.…
Throughout, the bean trees Turtles disposition begins during one journey and vicissitudes for the better during her second voyage. When Turtles aunt first abandons her into Taylor’s rundown automobile, Taylor is persuaded that the baby is dead since no movement is established. After a while, I began to wonder if perhaps it was dead. (20) Turtle’s mishandling leaves her inaudible and petrified.

After much cajoling by the male, the female lays her eggs in the nest and the male takes over parental duties, guarding the fertilized eggs and fanning them with his fins to provide them with oxygen. This is essential to the survival of the eggs, without the male the eggs would parish and most like be eaten by other species. Because of climate change, many less males are born and less food is available to them when they're adults. Therefore, much of the eggs will die with the decrease of males being able to protect and nurture the nest.…
The land surrounding Turee pond is being used for a school, roads, highways, and buildings. The possible impact that theses uses could have on the ecosystem is, harm the organisms in the pond by the waste brought in. When it rains water runs off from the road enter the pond with the human waste. The waste could harm some of the organism living in the pond which would disturb the flow of the ecosystem. Students from Bow High School ; could also add human waste into the pond as their fishing.…

He showed scientific reasoning Dolan and Grady (2010), when I asked, “What do you think the oil does to the tadpoles?” he answered “Tadpoles will drink the oil and die or get sick. Their mums will miss them.”…
The lamprey life cycle begins in freshwater streams. Once they hatch from their eggs the young ammocoetes bury themselves in a U-shaped burrow in silty or sandy river bottoms (Mee-Mann). The ammocoete, however leave their heads out of their burrow in order to filter feed on algae and microscopic organisms in the stream. The lamprey young often will migrate at night by drifting on the current, and then re burrowing downstream (Mee-Mann). Ammocoetes will often grow up to five inches long in their burrows, and remain in the larval stage for 7-10 years before maturing into the parasitic form of lamprey that prey on fish(Sea).…
How Sharks Hunt Long viewed as dimwitted, bloodthirsty monsters, sharks are among the most intelligent species of fish. In fact, sharks have shown to be very versatile and efficient in their hunting methods. Sharks use a variety of hunting methods to capture their prey: adaptation, use of the senses, and strenuous power. Shark Adaptation. Adaptation for a shark is crucial for its hunting and more so for its survival.…
The fish store owner left them there, without food or water. The fish owner may or may not have known the extent of what he did, but this anecdote provides a want for the reader to help the turtle. In his essay, he mentions how he himself cared for a turtle until he threw him in a river to his death (Hoagland 155). The author know how he messed up when he saw the fear on the little Diamondback’s face (Hoagland 155). Humans make mistakes; it’s in our DNA.…
Turtles vs. Tortoises Turtles and tortoises may seem like the same animal to many people but in fact, they have many differences between the two of them. They are both pretty common pets but the misunderstanding that they have the same care needs because they are basically the same animal have dire consequences for these animals. That is why it is important to know the differences between turtles and tortoises. General physical appearance is one of the major differences between the two if you look close enough. Tortoises have a more round, dome-shaped shell.…
