Dumbo Octopus Research Paper

This cartoon goes by a few names, but the Standard Oil octopus is the most common, it was created by Udo J Keppler in New York and wad published in Puck magazine on September 7th 1904. The cartoon depicts a standard oil tanker as an octopus it has its tentacles wrapped around Congress, state capital, the shipping industry, the railroads, and other business owners or politicians. The only thing that the octopus does not have control of is the White House, its eyes are fixed on it but its tentacles are just hovering above it not able to grasp it, the reason for this is because of President Roosevelt using the Sherman Antitrust Act to regulate the monopolies. The point Kepler was trying to get across the importance of regulating Standard Oil to prevent them from monopolizing farther in controlling the entire country, which at the time they already pretty much did.

Adapted for a wide range of aquatic habitats, various shark species inhabit shallow coastal habitats, deep-water ocean floor habitats, and the open ocean. With a wide selection to feed off of, as a whole the shark species feed on just about everything. Their diet consists of fish,

The cephalopodor octopus is a marine organism that inhabits many diverse regions of the ocean. Its food source consists of crabs, small fish, clams, mussels and other marine animals. The octopus is a predatory animal and has developed many skills to aid in its survival in the environment it has adapted to.

Daphnia can be found in a wide range of different environments. They can usually be found in ponds and small pools of water near the river. They even can be found in temporary pools caused by flooding and other natural events They tend to live at a range of depths but are more commonly near the middle or toward the surface of the water.

Echinoderms such as starfish, sea cucumbers, and urchins are identified by their symmetry and central mouth. This species is found decorating the coral reefs by their variety of color and sizes. Because some of these animals like to burrow in the sand, they can supply oxygen to some of the depths in the ocean. Echinoderms are a staple food in many sea animals diet.

Type of habitat: It inhabits on rocky shores, and is always found in the low intertidal zone.

Suspected Current Location- Can be found in waters of coastal United States. Primary nesting areas include Florida and Georgia. Preferred habitat is the open ocean, and preferred nesting beaches are mainland sites facing deep water.

Their target prey is usually fish (both bony fish, and sharks and rays). They will also eat crustaceans, sea turtles, cetaceans (such as dolphins), and squid.

They are found in South America, Central America and South-east Asia. It has four species and all of them are either endangered or vulnerable.

If we are in deep waters we stay near the surface. We live in warm tropical waters in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. We mostly eat sponges, anemones, squid, shrimp, and of course, jellyfish!

Predators: bloodworm, white/black mosquito larvae, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, Mysis shrimp. But since they a nocturnal they don’t have the most about of predators.

Barnacles are usually found on hard surfaces and whales. it is found almost everywhere except by the poles. it is also able to attach two things like turtles and whales and other marine life. Most barnacles species are harmless.

This creature goes by the name of the Dumbo Octopus because of its resemblance to the flying elephant in Dumbo. It usually has a small and round body that can differ depending on color and ear size. The Dumbo Octopus lives in some of the deepest parts of the sea and has little information known about it because

They prefer to be around coastal areas, but they are mostly found between 0.91 and 4.57 meter deep. (Jenkins and Burkhead, 1993; Nikitina, et al., 2009; Rohde, et al., 1994; Trautman, 1981)

Manta rays live in the warmer areas of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are unusual members of the ray family as they are the only rays to live and feed in the upper water of the open sea. Sometimes, they rest quietly on the seabed.
