Leatherback Research Paper

About 20 million years after Pappochelys, we began to see a more similar looking ancestor to the turtle, the Odontochelys semitestacea. O.semitestacea was roaming the planet in the Late Triassic era in modern day China. Odontochelys differed a lot from modern turtles. Modern day turtles possess a horned like beak without any teeth present in their mouth, while Odontochelys fossils showed that teeth were found embedded in their upper and lower jaws. One of the most interesting features of turtles, both modern and prehistoric, are their shells that formed an armored protective casing over its body. Odontochelys only possessed the plastron (the bottom portion of a turtle's armor) and it had yet to develop a solid carapace. Instead of a carapace,

The leatherback sea turtle, Dermochelys coriacea, belong in the phylum of Chordate, class of reptilian, order of Testudines, and the family of Dermochelyidae. These reptiles can be found throughout the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Leatherback sea turtles are the largest turtles in the world. The average life expectancy of a leatherback turtle is forty-five years. Average size of the turtles upper shell, carapace, is about five feet and has a rubber-like texture feel to it consisting mainly of oil-saturated connective tissue. On average Dermochelys coriacea can weigh any where from approximately six hundred to two thousand pounds. In length these turtles are typically fifty-five to seventy-nine inches. The lack of claws is another distinguishing

The leatherback is an endangered species. It's also the largest sea turtle. Adults usually weigh about 800 to 1,000 pounds (363 to 454 kilograms). Some have been reported to weigh as much as 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms). The turtles get their name because their backs are covered with leathery, oily tissue instead of a shell.

God has given the frilled lizard a great ability to scare things away from him. It stands on its back legs, swaying back and forth . He opens up his mouth, then hisses. Bright frills of skin sticks out around his head. The lizard makes himself look big and to scare off others.

In particular, one of these seven species is comprised of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta). The largest of all hard-shelled turtles, loggerheads have massive heads, strong jaws, and a reddish-brown shell, or carapace. Their front flippers are short and thick with 2 claws, while the rear flippers can have 2 or 3 claws. Loggerhead hatchlings have a dark-brown carapace with pale brown flippers. According to National Geographic (2015), adult males reach about three feet (nearly one meter) in shell length and weigh about 250 pounds (113 kilograms), but large specimens of more than 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms) have been found. They are primarily carnivores, munching jellyfish, conchs, crabs, and even fish, but will eat seaweed occasionally. They prefer to feed in coastal bays and estuaries, as well as the shallow water along the continental shelves of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.

The Red Eared Slider is one of the most common Mid-South East Coast. They can be found in marshes, ponds, and slow moving bodies of water. Other species of turtles include: Eastern Box Turtle, Common Snapping Turtles, Eastern Painted Turtle, Red Bellied, Bog Turtle, Spotted Turtle, Musk Turtle, Eastern Mud Turtle, Northern Diamondback, and Wood Turtle. The Red Eared Slider is named for the distinctive red streak on each side of its face and is primarily aquatic and will emerge from the water for basking. Even though Red Eared Sliders don't have ears, they feel by vibration. In fact, they carry part of the skeleton on their back, which makes them on of the most interesting reptile. According to Monmouth County Parks, “As with other reptiles,

“The killer which overcomes its prey in a single bound.” The definition of ‘yaguar’, the Indian origin of the word Jaguar. Due to natural habitat loss, the largest cat in America is slowly, but surely becoming extinct with a mere count of 15,000 said to be left. Bi-national conservation efforts have been successful at protecting a small population of 80 to 120 cats in the remote mountains of Sonora, Mexico bordering Arizona. This population is the largest of three known to remain in Sonora, and is the last hope for recovery in the United States.

If you look up the word sin, you’ll find a picture of Fenrir Greyback beside it. Or, at least you would if most people weren’t too speak his name. But as they say, fears are stories we tell ourselves and while there are some truths in stories, there are many inaccuracies when it comes to Fenrir. He is a man that isn’t human, a wolf that isn’t quite, and a monster through and through.

The cowboy is an American icon. Europeans also have cowboys who tended livestock on farms but the cowboy became an American symbol. It is a part of our culture and part of our heratige. In the Wild West, the cowboys tended the livestock. They would feed them and herd them. They would mend fences and repair the ranch. They would work on the ranch or in the open range. They had a type of clothing, all their own that is uniqely American too. They wore cowboy hats, jeans, and cowboy boots. They rode saddled horses. They had spurs on their boots to prod the horses. They were often depicted sleeping outside by a campfire. They used rope two lasso livestock. They represent the Wild West. They represented ideas of freedom on the open range. They simbolyzed

The reason that I chose to do a jaguar is because I thought it would be interesting to find out things about a jaguar and their family. One thing that I thought was interesting is that the jaguars is one of the largest cats in America. One thing I knew about this animal before i started my paper is that it really did not eat a lot of plants. I also knew that the jaguars lived in the wild with the lions and tigers.

For this activity, students should be divided up into two teams. Two lines of chairs should be set up in front with a few feet in between each chair. If there is an uneven number, one person on the larger team will have to go twice. First, have the teams line up and hand a bean bag to the first person in line. Have them place the bean bag on their head and wait behind the start line. One at a time, each child will need to weave through the chairs, while balancing the bean bag on their head, around the last one, and come back to the start and pass the bean bag to the next person who will do the same thing. If they drop the bean bag, they must pick it up and then place it back on their head before continuing. The team who gets everyone to go

In the Horseback consecration ritual there are 22 important steps. Firstly as the preparation the person carrying out the ritual should gather all necessary items (Bentor, 235). Next, a broad self-generation is performed. The offerings would be purified by the water from the vase and also by chanting, emptiness and the grace. “Om padyam ah hum….Om sabda ah hum” (Bentor, 236) a chanting recited for cleansing the offerings. Next the purification of other offering items is done by chanting the mantra of the sky treasury three times and chanting the power of the truths (Bentor, 236). The entitling of the ritual vase is done by cleansing and purifying the vase, entitling the flowers by chanting the verse of interdependent origination and placing

What is a tardigrade, and how did it get the title of The World’s Most Resistant Creature? It all started in the year of 1773, scientist Johann August Ephraim Goeze discovered this micro-organism. Johann Ephraim was a German zoologist; he did his work with aquatic invertebrates, particularly insects, and worms, but in 1773 he described the tardigrade. He was the first person to describe the tardigrade and named it Kleiner Wasserbär meaning “little water bear”. The reason he named the tardigrade this is because it has the same gait as a bear. In 1776, three years after the discovery of the tardigrade, the phylum Tardigrada, or slow stepper, was named by Lazzaro Spallanzani.
