How A Seahorse Dad Is Like A Pregnant Woman Summary

Sea-horses adapt to there environment because they like warmer water and the grass at the bottom of corals and the floor of the ocean.They like to hide in this grass , not eat it.The sea-horses like the slow moving currents because it brings these tiny little micro earth like creature through that slow moving current , and the sea-horses wait for the plankton to go by and boom there eaten.Sea-horses don't have stomachs , they turn all the food they eat into energy .Sea-horses have thick armed plates that surround there body with the protection they need to survive in there habitat.Sea-horses have camouflage so they can hide from much bigger mammals like fish,eel,and even sharks. The sea-horses learn to adapt to there surroundings,they learn

Seahorses can not swim very well so it is hard to swim away from predators, but on the other hand seahorses are very small which helps them get away from predators. Seahorses also use their environment to hide and get away from predators.

The size and shape of the pelvis gives clues to how an animal may reproduce.

Orcas are complex social creatures deserving freedom and respect, not captivity in theme parks under the guise of public education and entertainment. Aquarium staffs say captive whales are priceless educational tools. However, people can educate their children by bringing them to the wild instead of bringing the wild to them at the expense of the Orcas health and well-being. "The price of a family admission ticket is what continues to drive this cruel spectacle," according to Michael O' Sullivan, the Executive Director of The Humane Society of Canada (Whales in Captivity, 2010, Para. 3). Orcas suffer in many ways in

Baby harp seals are disappearing in population because of the climate change going on near their habitat. These pups are constantly drowning and being crushed by melting ice every day. If this keeps occurring, they will quickly stop breeding and eventually become extinct. Although they are not endangered, baby harp seals are passing by the minute. If you think this is unacceptable and want them to be saved: choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases, replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb, use a clothesline instead of a dryer when possible, cover your pots when cooking, and speak up to the public about how others can do these things too!

Dr. Kim Vonnahme has been a very important addition to the Animal Science Department at NDSU for the past eleven years. She has brought her tremendous knowledge of the reproductive tracts in animals to research and hands on projects for the students here at NDSU. Dr. Vonnahme received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science at Iowa State University in 2006. She continued to further her educational background by attending Oklahoma State University to obtain her Master’s Degree in Animal Science in 1998. Afterwards, she attended University of Wyoming to receive her PhD in Reproductive Physiology (Kim Vonnahme, 2014; Research Profile-Kim, 2014).

Female Leafy Sea Dragons lay up to 250 bright pink eggs. Then, she deposits the eggs to the male’s tail with her ovipositor. Finally, the eggs attach to the brood patch which supplies the babies with oxygen.

Throughout decades, sexual selection has been acknowledged in the explanation of evolutionary patterns. With research, we have had the opportunity to study species of animals like the Syngnathidae family. Animals that are included in this category include pipefish, seahorses, and sea dragons. This species is known for their sex role reversal, meaning that the male fertilizes and carries the eggs during incubation after the female has laid them. When we look more specifically at the pipefish, it is found that males are left with most of the parenting and care for the offspring. As the male carries its eggs, it supplies them with nutrients and oxygen through the placenta. During pipefish copulation, the female transfers her eggs through a small

Kookaburra males B bid emails six weeks before the eggs are laid. The phenol has to be very careful with her movement because the eggs are very delicate. Because the eggs are so delicate, that the now only Les 2 to 3 eggs at a time. The

While David Hume was alive there was a well known image of what someone decided looked like an angel despite never having seen an angel. To tell someone they simply constructed a false idea of an angel, would be considered very rude, but it isn't necessarily a negative note. These type of ideas in which one combines multiple thoughts to make one complex notion helps us understand the unknown. Often in school teachers would start class off with projects to get our thoughts and minds going. Once my class was asked to combine two creatures and make one new animal. I made a horse seahorse, which had the body of a seahorse and the head of a real horse. Obviously, the horse seahorse is not a real creature, thus I created a false idea or

Parenting styles influence children in their present and future decisions. Children have the ability to absorb all of the teachings their parents have to offer, but it is the most important lessons that are prudent in a child’s development. Paul, the young son in “The Rocking-Horse Winner,” attempts to appease his mother by anonymously donating money to her. Maggie, the youngest daughter in “Everyday Use,” acts submissively in order to outcompete Dee, the eldest daughter whom is the mother’s blatant favorite, in order obtain the love and adoration of her mother. While each child was raised in a different style, under different circumstances, it can undoubtedly be concluded that the yearning for a mother’s love can affect how a

The female manatee has sole responsibility for the raising of the calf. In fact, researchers have not established the paternity of manatee calves yet, meaning that the father of a calf is not known. This is primarily due to the process in which manatees mate, called a mating herd. A mating herd consists of about 20-22 manatees, with one or two females in the herd. This process can last for several hours, and can be recognized by lots of splashing, rolling, and other “playful” behaviors performed by the manatees. Once this activity is finished, the female manatee goes through her gestation period, which lasts about 13 months! This is equivalent to the 9-month pregnancy period of a human. Then, once the calf is born, the female manatee will care

Unlike the fertilization of mud-puppies, the fertilization of perch fish is external. Usually, a female will release many of her eggs into the water and the male will release the sperm, or milt, over the eggs. This process is known as spawning. Just like the development of the mud-puppies, the development of the yellow perch is indirect and involved a larval stage and a juvenile stage. (Perca Flavescens: American Perch)

“Splish! Splash!” The sound of bottlenose dolphins jumping and swimming around their tank excites a family at SeaWorld as they wait to experience their first encounter with the dolphins. Every year, bottlenose dolphins bring joy to hundreds of people in both captivity and the wild, but what do people truly know about them? Bottlenose dolphins are actually unique and interesting creatures.
