The Dominus in Litore, a recently discovered organism, is basically a mutant because there has never been any sightings in the area it was found, El Porto, Manhattan Beach, CA. Though was this creature discovered you might ask. According the the discoverer Ariel Santiago, that he was sitting down enjoying the sunrise at 6:29 AM on the 24 February 2016, when he hears a screeching sound that seemed to be a bald eagles. He thought otherwise because there were never any terrifying creatures in that area. He decides to look up and sees a mysterious creature popping its head out of a water and looking at another weird hairy creature. Ariel explains that he took a quick picture and hid behind his umbrella. The creature popped out, it had glaring blue …show more content…
As well as a horn that injects venom, sharp teeth that sink into flesh and inject venom, it breathes fire, a venom shooter, wings with sharp edges, a spike shooter with venom, and a tail to swim. This allowed scientists to realize that this animal to dangerous to keep in captivity. It also allowed them to realize that this animal contains very odd adaptations. The scientists trace the animal's genes to a weird fossil that was found a couple of decades ago and found out that his animal was related to it. Though that animal did not have any of the features that the Dominus in Litore had. Scientists made a hypothesis that there was an oil spill about twenty miles away from the sea shore that contained radiation. This might have been the reason that this mutant creature is still living …show more content…
This explains that the Dominus in Litore can be classified as a first-level consumer, second-level consumer, and even a third level-consumer because it has no predators. It mainly eats sharks, squids, fish, whales, berries, krill, and many other organisms and plants. It might even eat humans if we try to harm it. Dominus in Litore has an estimated lifespan of 30 years, at the age of 1 they are almost half their full grown size! The females can lay as many as fifty eggs. Sadly, when the eggs are barely laid, their shells are so soft that freshly fallen snow can break it. After five days, the shell can turn unbreakable, a diamond can try to scratch it but will break it at the same time. These facts might be helpful when you encounter

The creature's physical grotesqueness makes the creature unable to attain affection from the human societies. The creature is initially rejected by his creator, who is the closest resemblance to a mother or father figure. Despite this relationship, Victor finds the creature to be a "miserable monster" (39). Consequently, as soon as life is present within the creature, Victor abandons his child. Victor claims that he "escaped, and rushed down the stairs" (40) away from the
Daphnia are used to test water toxicity, they are a vital part of fresh water ecosystems. They are a food source for smaller fish and invertebrates and considered to be a consumer of algae and bacteria (Elbert, 2005). These small crustaceans range in size from 2-5mm long and are commonly referred to as water fleas. Daphnia belong to the group called Daphniidae, which is a relative of freshwater shrimp. It is easy to see the internal organs of daphnia because of a transparent taco shell like carapace. A carapace is the hard outer part of a shell or covering. A daphnia’s life span can range between 1-56 days. (Elenbaas, 2013; Clare 2002). The comfortable pH level for daphnia is between 7.2 and 8.5 (Clare, 2002).
Herbivores make up the second trophic level. Predators that eat herbivores comprise the third trophic level; if larger predators are present they are then represent a higher trophic level. Organisms that feed at several trophic levels are classified at the highest of trophic levels at which they feed. Decomposers breakdown wastes and dead organisms and return nutrients back to the soil. (Future Direction International,
Created by magic, their lifespan is unknown. There is record of a spritemare in the mid-east isles that has lived for over a thousand years in that spot.
The population dynamics of Daphnia magna are observed under three different conditions; low, medium, and high density. The effects of different population densities on the survivorship and reproduction of Daphnia are observed over a two-week period within a lab environment. Over the two week period, the numbers of parent Daphnia alive and dead are recorded daily, along with the amount of offspring produced each day. From the main parameter investigated, the net reproductive rate, the results of the experiment support that higher densities result in less successful reproduction and decreased fecundity. Values for the instantaneous growth rate of the populations also suggests that low and medium density populations allow for
Taking about a week to fully mature into an adult and living for several months, the shrimp do have a surprisingly long life cycle being also able to reproduce up to 300 cysts every 4 days in the right conditions. Other variables such as salinity, temperature, light, pH levels, water levels and predatory presence play a large role in the hatching rate of the crustacean. The brine shrimp are an extremely versatile micro-crustacean as they can survive up to 10x salt concentration of ordinary sea water (Eol.org, 2016) and are able to protect themselves during drought or when conditions are not ideal for survival. This is called highly resistant encysted gastrula embryo (cyst) that is easily able to hatch under conditions that can be replicated at home.
Seahorses are secondary consumers. Secondary consumers are mainly carnivores, they eat other animals. Omnivores, who eat plants and animals are also called secondary consumers.
The way it gets its prey is by using its long tongue. This tongue has a sticky spot on the tip just like frogs. It can use this tongue for like a grip. If it happens not to use its tongue, it can use its powerful jaw.
Now I am going to tell you some interesting facts about these beautiful creatures today. Well usually their life span is one
When the creature was first created he was unable to defy who he was, but when you are born, you are born neutral. You learn right and wrong from your guardian. The creature never had any guidance because his own father disowned him. Even after that the creature tried to stick with being a nice fellow, but people were just disgusted with him and thought he was a cruel creature because of his appearance. “He turned on hearing a noise, and perceiving me, shriekeed loudly, and quitting the hut, ran across the fields with a speed of which is debilitated form hardly appeared capable” (90). The creature tried to get over this world of pain by intriguing himself with a small family. The creature decided to help the family out by lending an invisible hand.”When I returned, as often as it was necessary, I cleared their path from the snow and preformed those offices that I had seen done by Felix” (99). Unfortunately the DeLacey family did not respond so nicely to the creature after all he had done for them after the creature exposed himself to the family.”Who can describe their horror and consternation on beholding me? Agatha fainted, and Safie, unable to attend to her friend, rushed out of the cottage. Felix darted forward, and with supernatural force tore me from his father, to whose knees I clung; in a transport of fury, he dashed me to the ground and struck me violently with a stick” (119). The one thing that pushed the creature over was when he tried to save a girl from drowning.”This was the reward of my benevolence! I had saved a human being from destruction, and as a recompense I now writhed under the miserable pain of a wound which shattered the flesh and bone” (126) . The creature just wanted to help, but instead of a thank-you, he got
Victor Frankenstein's determination to constitute a race causes him to create a deformed creature, which he immediately rejects. In the
The creature was created by a man named Victor Frankenstein, who abandoned the creature right away. The creature had to face the pain and confusion of being brought into a world full of strange sounds and vibrant colors. He had to learn the nature of the world all by himself. Because he was alone, he had to rely on his primal instincts and learn to survive by trial and error. During the time of trial and error, he went to a village. At the village he suffered as well as brought on suffering to others. His appearance was so horrifying that it brought on the village’s suffering. Women fainted and men feared for their lives because the deformities of the creature made him appear like a monster. While the village suffered from fear of the creature, some villagers threw rocks and sticks at the creature as well as force fire into the creature’s path (Shelley 136). Thus, the creature also suffered. The horror
The creature was created with black lips, black hair, yellow skin, and some sort of facial deformity. In most, if not all societies, this is not a generally “normal” appearance to see while walking down the street, or driving to work. But that doesn’t mean we should shame, and cast them out if our lives. It was Victor’s duty to stay with the creature, to teach it right and wrong, and to prevent it from killing people. On page 99 the creature states,” Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed?” This quote shows sheer confusion from the creature.
The fang folds up inside of a groove in the base until needed when attacking food, then moves out to bite and releases venom from a tiny opening at its end as it penetrates
