The anglerfish and polar bear adapt to very extreme enviorments. The polar bears have to adapt to very cold weather. The anglerfish have to adapt to the very little food source they have in the deep sea. They both have devoloped many features that can help them while they live in these extreme enviroments. Anglerfish adapt to very extreme envirorments which they live in. Anglerfish can expand their stomachs so that they can eat two times their size. This is really good because in the deep sea food is very scarce. So the fact that they can eat lager paportions is a very good adaption in their part. If they were not able to do that they would probally end up dieing. The anglerfish developed a relationship with a certain type of bacteria that can glow. That bacteria is in them but it stays in their esca. This is a good thing because that makes them be able to light their esca so that they can draw prey in and eat them. Also when they light their esca you can not see them at all you only see a light and that is why the prey does not think any thing is wrong and goes up to the esca. …show more content…
These aspcts help them with being able to kill and strike their prey. Another way they adapt is that they can hunt their prey under water. They can also smell seals from over a mile away. They can adapt to cold weather because of their very thick fur.They also have white fur which helps them be able to camouflage into snowy surroundings. They also have black fur which absorbs heat from the sun.They also have blubber which helps them stay warm when they go swimmimg in the ocean. They also have fur on their feet which helps keep their feet warm.They also have webbed feet and an oily coat which is water
This organism causes the sharks to go blind. Luckily Greenland sharks are mainly scaevngers and heavily rely on their heighted sense of smell.
Sea Otter's are members of the weasel family can be found along the coast of North America. A sea otter spends most of its time in the water and the rest of time it comes to land to sleep. Sea Otter floats on its back to the land and sleeps like that also. They have webbed feet. Their fur keeps them warm and it doesn't shed. Sea Otter's is one of the smallest marine mammal. They have a large amount of different adaptations. These different adaptations help them survive in their marine environment. Their long whiskers help the, detect vibrations in water and sensitive forepaws. Their claws helps them groom themselves and capture their prey underwater. The male is bigger than the female. Sea Otters have a high metabolism they eat 25% of their weight in food each day . They are also known for eating a clam and a rock that has been gently caught from the ocean floor. The otters place the rock on their chest and constantly smash the shellfish against it until it breaks. Once its broken they eat it . They also like to eat crabs , squid , octopus, and fish.
Angle Fish can live in a habittat that is either fresh water or salt water. An Angle Fish thats home is in salt water is called a marine Angle Fish, and other Angle Fish that live in fresh water are simply called Freshwater Angle Fish.And despite there small aperance, Angle Fish are very friendly to divers and will even
A few types of polar seal have learned to survive on and under the ice all year round
To biggin with goblin sharks eat food in the blue deep sea like the little fish called a shrimp. an 8 leged creature like the octupus. also little or normal fish.goblin sharks open there mouth so wide so shrimp,fish and squids enter the restoruant.
Did you know about the harp seal’s adaptation? To begin, the harp seals are found in the arctic ocean. They spend a little bit of time on land. Additionally, they have claws. They have four claws on their fins. They use their claws to defend themselves. The last important adaptation is that the harp seals have fur. They have fur to keep them warm. The fur is also helpful for the baby seals. They can use their white fur to camouflage in with the snow. Now you know about the harp seals adaptation.
White bears require a variety of physical characteristics to survive in the harsh environment of the Arctic. Large, wide paws with bumps allow them to distribute weight and grip more efficiently. Water resistant fur with a luminescent quality keep the bear warm and dry. Additionally, Sharp and powerful teeth have the ability to penetrate hard flesh. These special features allow not only the ability to thrive in a difficult environment, but also are important for communicating with other species and another bear.
The polar bear, the largest land carnivore in North America, one of the largest animals in the world and a favorite at zoos worldwide, has, over the years, adapted to its harsh Arctic environment. The appropriately named ‘ursus maritimum’ or sea bear usually lives between 15 and 18 years in the wild and spends most of its life on ice. It is the most recent of the eight bear species. The first polar bear was a brown bear subspecies, with brown bear dimensions and brown bear teeth. The polar bear evolution was rapid due to the small population and extreme pressure to survive. Even today, the polar bear continues to evolve to better adapt to the harsh realities of Arctic life.
After reading both of the stories I found that both the animals the Polar Bear and the Angler fish are Carnivores. They both have a harsh envirorment.Since they are both Carnivores thet dont have to good of a food supply, like if they live in a grassey green place since the only eat meat . They adapted to those harsh envirorments very well by,the anglerfish having to atract fish with the light on there head.Allthough the Polar Bear lives in -50 degrees.But the polar bear has black skin that absorbes the heat and 4 inches of blubber to go with that , the Polar Bear has to lay down in the snow to cool off. The Polar Bear has long strong legs and huge curved claws are especially adapted for striking and killing their prey. Now you know that theese
The brown bear acquired a mutation which is a permanent change in the Dana sequence. The mutated trait turned their coat white in order to bland into the snow; this is the reason for the polar bears white fur. A mutation also caused their teeth to become better shaped for ripping apart seals rather than munching berries. Their white fur allowed them to camouflage into the snow-covered surrounding giving them hunting advantages. Scientists believe that at first these bears scavenged seal carcasses that had washed ashore, and gradually began to hunt the seals by waiting at the water’s edge as the seals surfaced to breathe. This is an important step into the evolution of this new subspecies of bear. The bears evolved these changes relatively quickly because they had to adjust to extreme conditions and a harsh environment.
The anglerfish has to adapt to an environment that is so deep down into the ocean that you can not see any sunlight. The only light you may see is the bright esca which is used as a lure to attract predators. The esca is attached to what is almost like a fishing pole, called an illicium.The anglerfish can expand both their jaws and their stomachs.They special part of them helps them store food when food is scarce.
The Orectolobus arctoae or more commonly known as the Arctic Wobbegong, just like every other reproducing organism on this planet, goes through a process called natural selection. One adaptation of this particular organism is the ability to camouflage to the sand of the Arctic Ocean with lighter colored flesh [in comparison to its nimble yet sluggish cousin the Japanese Wobbegong]. The genetic variations of this adaptation are flesh tones that are the same color of, lighter or darker than the sand of the Arctic Ocean; which is uniquely lighter than that of the Indo-Pacific. The O. arctoae overproduces its offspring with one every two years. With a gestation period of 1 year and a lifespan of approximately 50 years, this organism produces 25 pups over its lifetime. The limiting factors in the environment of the Arctic Ocean that cause this adaptation are the threat of multiple species of large whales and other predators. In the process of selection, the Wobbegongs whose flesh is closer to the color of the sand are able to survive and reproduce viable offspring. Another adaptation of the Arctic Wobbegong is the layer of blubber under the dermis found in many Arctic organisms. The genetic variations of this adaptation are blubber depths that are thicker or thinner than the approximate 6 inches. The O. arctoae overproduces its offspring with one every two years. With a gestation period of 1 year and a lifespan of approximately 50 years, this organism produces 25 pups over its
Polar bears require sea ice to survive, as it is their hunting grounds and habitat. When the ice melts, polar bears are forced to move closer to the pole. Unfortunately, polar bears use northern
The rocky intertidal ecosystem is characterized by waves crashing against the rocks during high tide and during low tide, species living in the habitat are exposed to temperatures that are their thermal tolerance ranges (Denny & Wethey, 2001). Due to the extreme conditions of the intertidal environment, habituating species must deal with the unique stresses of strong waves, species thermal tolerance extremes, competition for space, and predators (Helmuth & Tomanek, 2002). In order to maintain homeostasis as well as avoid death, species of intertidal ecosystems have developed adaptations to survive
They're are many ways both the angler fish and the polar bear survive.They survive by camouflauge,claws or teeth,and their size.
