Informative Essay On Dumbo Octopus

Devil fish (Mobula mobular) is a species of eagle ray. Devilfish is a name to the manta ray (Manta birostris) Devilfish may refer to the venomous fish Inimicus didactylus. Devilfish is an alternative and rather obsolete name for the octopus.

When ever you go to the beach, do you ever think about what can happen to an animal and the water when you leave a wrapper in the sand or a plastic bottle in the water? If you think about it, even a small piece of plastic can harm a fish. The fish could mistake it for food. This could potentially kill the fish. There are other things that people d that pollutes the ocean. An oil spill from a boat can get fish sick (Doc.2). Also, solid waste, plastics, glass, and foam (OI). Marine life can get trapped in any of these items (OI). There are many things we can do to prevent this, like, reducing plastic waste in stream, improve solid waste management, and increase, capture, and reuse (Doc.1). These are just a few of the many things we could do to

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.

The Portuguese man-of-war (Physalia), is common to be spotted in warmer waters around the world. Its tentacles can grow up to 165 feet and have a plastic like “sail” that floats on the surface. In

Key traits were noted out of 73 lab-bred octopuses. Discoveries showed temperamental variations at different maturity levels. Young octopuses tended to be active and aggressive whereas more mature ones tended to be more alert and quick to react to danger (Scigliano, 2003). Evidence that even though their lifespan is short their brain evolves and adapts quickly.

Have you ever experienced the death of a beloved pet? If you have, I’m sure it was hard to get through, being so attached. For David Barry, his view is different - experiencing this can be an important lesson for kids. In many other disappointing circumstances, there’s always that one person who attempts - and sometimes succeeds - at being cheery through it. Similar to this type of person, Barry’s writing sheds light on the loss of a pet being an important lesson through humor that may improve the reader’s attitude towards their own loss. David Barry’s short story “I’ve Got A Few Peeves About Sea Creatures” is a high-level comedy that uses sarcasm and various types of comic language to convey the idea that the occurrence of losing a pet can be a teachable experience for a young owner if taken light-heartedly, with an open mind.

     Populations of the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas), were first found in the Laurentian Great Lakes in 1988 (Hebert et al., 1989). This species is native to the Caspian, Aral, and Black Seas and the rivers that drain into them but has spread throughout Europe, principally during the 18th century. Since it is restricted to estuarine and freshwater habitats, it is presumed that it was introduced into North America by ballast waters of transoceanic vessels. Based on the substantial amount of genetic variation found in these initial populations, as estimated from electrophoretic variation of allozymes, the colonization of the Great Lakes was by a large number of immigrants and not just a few founders

The deepest depths of the ocean are unfathomable, no one knows what creatures lurk down there.

Sweet, cute, cuddly, endangered, and amazing, words that perfectly explain the axolotl. The axolotl (axe-oh-lot-l), also known as Ambystoma Mexicanum, is a highly endangered creature. They are often mistaken for being fish, when they are actually amphibians. Axolotls can actually live in any depth, but usually live in murky freshwater lakes. If they live in shallow water for a long period of time, their gills can be absorbed, and they can then use their lungs on land. If they live in deep water for a long period of time, they will keep their gills until they die, or until they move to shallower depths. The size of an adult axolotl can range anywhere from 9-12 inches, and weight up to 8 pounds.

The consumption of meat over recent decades has become more than just a means of nutrition for the body, but also a game of hunting animals for recreation and sport. Along with the popularization of hunting animals for sport came the early endangerment and extinction of certain species. With this hobby the question arose, is it ethical to hunt and or eat meat? After reading “Consider the Lobster” written by David Foster Wallace, a person may consider the history any meat goes through before it is ready for consumption. However, the consumption of meat is seen as a normal thing to do on a daily basis, especially in America because our meals are typically centered around the meat being the main item of the meal. After reading “Ethics and the

Would you rather find a bug in your apple and have your salad be on the wilted side, or take a big bite of artificial flavors and chemicals? What would you rather eat for dinner; a quick pick up from a fast food restaurant or a nutritious home cooked meal? For some, there may be no choice but to pick off the dollar menu at McDonalds or Burger King. Due to this circumstance, the consequences include an all-time rise of childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes in the U.S. However, this circumstance is usually due to parents not being around, or a parent not having enough time or money to purchase fresh produce. The access to fresh, local, organic produce is difficult to come by, especially in low-income neighborhoods or towns. “I tend to sympathize

Sea Lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) are an invasive species of lamprey that, while native to marine environments, have moved into the freshwater great lakes. Sea lampreys first entered the great lakes through canals, which were revolutionary means of transportation at the times. There were multiple canals, connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the great lakes. The lampreys were previously impeded by Niagara falls. Now with the canals connecting both bodies of water, there was no longer an obstacle.

The sepioteuthis lessonia or the big fin reef squid, is one of the smaller type of squids. Scientists discovered and started researching the big fin reef squid. They found the big din reef squid in the pacific and Indian oceans near rocks and coral reefs. The big fin reef squid has different pattern on its scales.

Their extensive knowledge of fish and how to properly prepare it will be a crucial component to this digestive issue. These chefs can catch and chop up different kinds of fish to prevent choking in the Dumbo Octopus. Then, the fish pieces will be transported to a number of special submarines that will travel around the ocean to scatter them in various places. This way the Dumbo Octopus can truly enjoy its meal and worries of digestive issues will be a thing of the past. Capturing two Dumbo Octopuses for extensive research will also be done.

Squids, an animal that lives in water, knowns as cephalopods. It also has a scientific name; Teuthida. Squids are capable of jet propulsion, walking, swimming and sometimes flying… Yes, flying! Jet propulsion! It has another definition when it comes to an animal that lives in water but it’s original physical definition is the jet of matter passed by the thrust produced in the opposite direction, to direction of movement. Furthermore, Newton’s third law states that the motion of body is propelled in the other direction of the jet. Jet propulsion occurs when the squid wants to speed up, their fins (Fig.1) propel themselves in water and then water gets in mantle cavity and above the gills, then reaches an opening by the head. The mantle cavity’s
