Hannibal High School Fish Research Paper

Hey, I know this is a weird way to start a letter but just listen. As I look around the room everyone is either talking or writing. We are brainstorming ideas of what to put in our letters. My teacher said to put our letters in our own words. I don’t raise my hand because I have no idea what to write in my letter. I want my letter to stand out from the rest, then it hit me, I remembered your book. I decided to write about The Rainbow Fish. The Rainbow Fish is the only fish in the sea that has “sparkling silver scales”, he’s different. Different could be a bad thing, it could be a good thing. You’ve showed me that it’s a good thing. The only problem is what’s different about me? Everyone else has has something that sets them apart from a crowd but what sets me

Many people have misconceptions about hunting. One such misconception is that hunting is easy and any person can go sit in the woods and wait for an animal to cross the hunter’s path. However, people who believe this are sorely mistaken. Hunting is not just sitting in the woods with a rifle; there are many other aspects that must be considered. An individual must have all preparations complete, purchase or gather the equipment needed, and know what to listen for while in the woods.

For many people hunting is just something they do to pass the time, but for me it’s so much more! For me the love and passion for hunting started at a very young age, before I was even old enough to walk I was on my dad’s shoulders as he walked through a field shooting pheasants. One of the great benefits of living in Texas is there isn’t any age restrictions on hunting so if your parents think you can do it all you gotta do is go pick up a license from your local Walmart or hunting store. So at the age of four is where it all began, it was only a Russian Boar, but from that point on it just meant the world to me.

The digestive systems of whales consist of an esophagus, a compartmentalized stomach and an intestine. They swallow their prey rather than chew it. The prey is passes into the esophagus, where it is pushed toward the expandable stomach. The food then reaches the rumen, the first stomach compartment. Pre-digested food is stored in the rumen. In this compartment the food is break down by peristalsis which is the mechanical muscular movements. Then food is directed toward the cardiac stomach, where hydrochloric acid and pepsin is produced by glands to digest the food. The food then enters the last stomach compartment, the pylorus. The latter is characterized by the presence of numerous mucous glands that facilitate

Many people have misconstrued ideas about what it means to be a hunter. Some have this idea in their heads that hunters are just out to kill and have no respect for the environment the animals live in or the animals themselves. When in reality hunters care more about the environment than most people because of the very fact that they care about the animals they hunt. Hunting is one of the best way to bring a family together like no other activity. The misconception that hunting is a just an individualized activity couldn’t be more wrong. When hunting with your family, you experience an adventure with your loved ones that brings you all closer together like no other way. The truths of what it means to be a hunter are hunters care about the animals they hunt and the environment they hunt in more than the average person. Hunting is a great way to bring the family together unlike any other activity. Also, hunting brings people closer to nature in way unlike any other. And it’s this connection with nature that keeps hunters humbled by the environment they are in and the animals that live in it.

Pterophyllum scalare, also known as freshwater angelfish, are a species of cichlid that many aquarists enjoy. Typically, these fish need very specific water conditions in order to ensure survival and are therefore not recommended for beginners. Along with that, breeding angelfish is difficult as well.

Lion fish were introduced to the Atlantic in 1992 when someone's fishtank broke during a hurricane. Since then Lion fish have spread through out the Atlantic and Carribean. Lion fish are extremely invasive and without any natural predators, they desecrate reefs. They can eat 20 native and endangered fish in 30 minutes. Their stomachs expand 3 times as they normally are and they eat till they can't. They also have venom spikes on their body warding away predators. Lion fish lay thousands of eggs every week. Scientists are trying to control the population by hunting them and encouraging other to do so too. Native populations of fish can recover when most Lion fish are removed from a reef, still, the best hope is to find a natural predator that

Little skate fishes are known to be one of the dominant members of the demersal fish community in the northwestern Atlantic. They live deep in the ocean, sitting in the ocean floor most of times. They use these organs called spiracles as I mentioned above, they help the little skate to function oxygen to reach internal respiratory organs and still intake oxygenated water over their gills. These spiracles are slit-like openings near their eyes. The process goes where water is taken in through the spiracles then passes over to the gills which then leaves the body through five pairs of gill passageway underneath the body. These little skate fishes live on by feeding on crabs, sea squirts, worms, squid, mollusks, small fishes or any other small

I was raised around many different types of animals so I have had many different types of pets. This developed into a love of all things aquarium related at about the age of ten and I asked if I could get a beta fish. My father asked if I knew how to properly care for one and I did not. He informed me whenever I could prove how to do so then I he would allow me to have one. I spent about a month learning everything I could and saved up enough money to purchase everything I needed. I knew quite a bit of information about betas and even obtained the knowledge to maintain an aquarium. My father was so impressed that he bought me a small fish tank rather than spending my own money on a fish bowl. This hobby has continued my entire life and I am

I think of a pet, it’s easy to keep is a goldfish. Why? Because goldfish a very small, funny, good looking, and it’s not hard to find the tools such as food, the aquarium, and other. A goldfish has many kinds of colors that there is the color of orange, yellow, black, white patterned red or otherwise. A goldfish has form of funny as head of a large or big eyes.

Archerfish can jump from the water to reach their prey, attaining heights more than twice their own body length.When spitting won't do the job, the fish hover below their prey and then suddenly leap from the water. Recently, scientists captured high-speed video of the leaping fish, documenting the fin and tail techniques that propel the fish upward. Analysis of the archer fish's body movements offered insights into how they could jump so high more than twice their own body length to reach their prey. Spitting at prey is the best-known predatory technique of the archerfish, but it doesn't always serve them well when they have a lot of competition from other fish. How the fish prepare for the jump is that they stop dead (not really) at the top

There are different typs of animals in the sea like sea angels and sea goblins. Like lot's of people find weird stuff every day for years. So they can find more weird creatures. So people could know about them weird creatures.

There’s a river on the edge of Missouri where my family and I camped. My uncle called it “The ole’ Roarin’ River” because the river was always impossibly full of life and movement. My cousin and I decided, on the edge of daybreak, that we should take a swim. We jumped in and my petite self started to drift quickly downstream. My cousin yelled and motioned for me to swim. I was so scared that I might drown but the internal fire in me was fueled by the terrifying and dire situation. I made it to the edge of the river and climbed out yelling and jumping because I had done what I never thought was possible. I fought the current.

I stared down at the small yellow bag in my hand, the chatter and laughter of the students behind me began to fade out of my mind as my brain began to focus only on what I was about to do. Just the thought of biting into one of those small, delectable bright red fish made my mouth overflow with saliva. But I had to control myself. I had to savor this moment. Wiping a small amount of drool off my lips, I began to feel the tiny package. It was smooth, yet the edges were rough and serrated. The soft crinkling noise was music to my ears and I almost wanted to just keep feeling it and feeling it forever. I stopped myself. I shook the bag and could hear the small “plunk, plunk” of the fish jumping around in the bag. My mind and body itched to open
