If you have ever seen Finding Nemo you might remember when Marlin and Dory venture into the deep sea in their search for an address on a pair of goggles. As they dive into the deep they are entranced by a bright light in the darkness. Unfortunately, though, this light was attached to a hungry angler fish. Like most deep sea creatures the angler fish looks scary and strange, especially when compared to the animals that we are used to. Deep sea creatures may seem odd, but their appearances are there for a reason. The way these creatures look, along with other adaptations help them to live in their extreme underwater environments.
An example of an unusual adaptation is found in zombie worms. These strange animals live off of the coast of California

First off, are the squid's ginormous eyes which are so big that they are the largest eyes of any animal on the earth, as big as 30 centimeters across (1). That is about 3 times the diameter of an average sized dinner plate. These huge eyes give the squid the ability to absorb more light so that they can see in the deep, dark ocean (1). It is exactly like how human's pupils expand in the dark. On the same topic of sight, the coloring of giant squids change from the ocean's surface to the deep sea (1). At the surface, squid appear pink or reddish orange, but in the deep water they look silvery or gold (1). This change in coloring no doubt is an adaptation to deep sea life, probably for concealment purposes. One of the squid's more unique body parts is their funnel; this is located underneath the squid's body and propels the squid by pumping water, obviously a remarkable adaptation for underwater life (1). The giant squid also has several body parts that help the squid feed. These are as following: feeding tentacles that capture the food, arms that guide the food from the tentacle to the beak, and the beak that slices the food into smaller pieces that the squid can consume (1). Giant squids are full of remarkable features beneficial for their
It is noticeable in a couple scenes from the movie. The first is on Nemo’s first day of school after Nemo and Marlin are all ready to leave Marlin makes Nemo exit , enter then re-exit the sea anemone three times before Marlin deems it suitable for them to leave. Marlin even goes as far as saying they could do it a fourth time if they wanted to. Marlin believes that if he and Nemo do not do this every time they leave their house they could get seriously injured from someone who is waiting outside for both clown fish to leave.
It all started with one fish who decide to touch the ¨butt¨. One fish at school got challenged to swim out and touch the bottom of a boat. With no fear in mind, Nemo went and touched the boat. Nemo thought he had an easy victory when something happened and changed his life forever. Nemo is the son of a brave dad named Marlin. Marlin suffered a miserable loss of his wife and all their children. Nemo is the only family member Marlin has left so Marlin pledges to keep Nemo safe at all costs. In the film ¨Finding Nemo¨ the author Andrew Stanton uses good and evil through the journey to criticise how we as humans value the love we have for are family members because we share a strong bond with the people we enjoy.
My story is a bit on the humorous side for most parties other than myself.
One of the most mystifying creatures of the deep blue sea, the cuttlefish is not a fish it is some squid-like mollusks. The cuttlefish has a large out stretched body with its mouth being surrounded by tentacles, giving it the nickname head-footed. Cuttlefish around the world varies from sizes of 15cm to 60cm and weigh from the range of 6lb to 23lb. This creature is found throughout the warm tropical shallows of the ocean to the cold depths of the deep ocean.in order for the cuttlefish to survive they are able to change their body color and they body texture to blend in with different marine environments, while being prey upon dolphin, sharks, seals, cuttlefish, and other big fish. The cuttlefish uses its ability of changing colors to hide itself
The Pompeii worm is related to the Polychaete which are marine worms. This worm can handle temperatures up to 80℃ and can length up to 13cm. Their back is coated in a bacterial mat that reacts as an insulation system. Not only is their back coated with bacteria, but their whole body is covered in bristles in order for them to survive and move. The city Pompeii, was destroyed by the eruption of one of the most famous volcanos, they named the worm after the city because it's the most heat-tolerant organism. The next organism I observed was the Symphurus thermophilus that is known across several dispersed locations. This organism looks like rock or a nonliving object, however, it is actually a flatfish. Both eyes are found on the left side on the head of adults, their eyes are large and round. They also have 4-5 rows of teeth which are very sharp on the blind side while the eyed side has 1 row of teeth on the bottom and 2-3 rows on
but Nemo doesnt listen and touches the boat. Next thing you know, a scuba diver picks up Nemo is a little fishy net. Then later in the story, when the scuba diver goggles fall into the trench Marlin says “Okay lets do this.” (Stanton Unkrich, x:xx) He swims down the trench a little bit but then gets
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.
These creatures are called zombie worms. The zombie worms were found on the bottom of the sea off the coast of California in 2002. Its own way of adapting goes back in history as one of the most crucial adaptations ever found. These worms live on whale bones on the ocean floor. On the ocean floor, the skeleton of the whales receives a rich source of nutrients for the zombie worms. These worms were even more fascinating due to the fact that they lack a mouth and gut. As it turns out, the zombie worm developed a chemical strategy to receive actual nutrients. With its remarkable ability, “A zombie worm attaches to a whale bone with special root-like structures. The skin cells of these structures produce an acid, which dissolves the bone, allowing the worm to extract the nutrients” (p.2). This is a very unusual, but special adaptation to the ocean floor environment. The worm’s acid drills into the bone of whale to collect the nutrients. Also, another modification it has made to it’s living space is depending on “internal bacteria to digest the fats and oils extracted from their whale-bone diet” (p.4). Holding these capabilities, the zombie worm can take on any whale’s
He is the hero, but he is very protective of his son because he doesn’t want to loose him, like his wife. Nemo goes to the first day of school. He goes out to touch a boat to impress his new friends (11:43). Then, Nemo is caught by a scuba diver (11:58). Marlin realizes he needs to save his son. Since his wife is dead, Marlin has lived his life in fear of many dangers of the ocean. He makes the decision to overcome these fears and act on bravery. He may be scared, but his son needs him. He goes after the scuba diver’s boat (12:25). He overcomes his greatest fear. Marlin meets a fish named Dorey (13:34). She seems a little bit crazy because of her bad memory. She helps him on his journey by providing humor and company. They encounter many allies and enemies. They come across sharks who try to eat them, an angler fish that tried to eat them, and a school of fish in the right direction. The dentist that has Nemo is planning on giving him to his daughter, Darla. Darla is a bratty little girl who kills every fish she gets. Marlin gets mad and tells Dory to
Lives 500 to 1,000 meters below ocean surface, prefers continental shelves and island slopes. That creature name is Architeuthis dux, also called the giant Squid, which has the largest eyes of any animal on earth with a diameter of about 30 centimeters, great light absorbing capacity, helped them to see better, and able to capture prey easily in the dark sea. Their funnel that located beneath the body, or mantle, creating jet propulsion by pumping water, lay eggs and expel waste. It also serves to squirt ink to dim the water to catch their prey or escaped from enemies, like sperm whales. Two tentacles, each up
At the deep water, only a narrow of blue band is present which has a wavelength of 480nm thus dolphins which live in deep water must have blue-shifted rhodopsin for them to survive in deep water.
In addition, the angil fish can get close to a diver so they can toutch
The predators of the vampire squids are bigger fish, whales, and
Squids belong to the group mollusks like the clam. Squids have all the needed elements it requires, like a coelom, circulatory system, and complex circulatory system to be in the mollusk phylum.
This undersea movie is introduced with a married couple of clownfish admiring their new home by the drop off. While talking about their future plans and getting ready for their clutch of eggs to hatch, a barracuda attacks them, leaving Marlin, the husband, unconscious, a widower, and a father of one fish, Nemo.
