Yeti Crab Adaptations

Some plants and animals have to adapt to the amount of oxygen and visibility underwater. For example, plants have adapted to the amount of sunlight they receive in certain environments, and cattails and water lilies have adapted to be able to survive humid climates. For animals, certain fish like trout have adapted to clear and cool water with a large amount of oxygen. On the other hand, other types of fish, like catfish, are able to survive in an area with a low oxygen level and gloomy visibility. Since otters live on the land surrounding the water, they have adapted to be able to swim to catch their food. Frogs and alligators have adapted to their environment by being able to live on the land after coming from underwater as an egg. Lastly, beavers have adapted to use their teeth to create the dams they live

First off, are the squid's ginormous eyes which are so big that they are the largest eyes of any animal on the earth, as big as 30 centimeters across (1). That is about 3 times the diameter of an average sized dinner plate. These huge eyes give the squid the ability to absorb more light so that they can see in the deep, dark ocean (1). It is exactly like how human's pupils expand in the dark. On the same topic of sight, the coloring of giant squids change from the ocean's surface to the deep sea (1). At the surface, squid appear pink or reddish orange, but in the deep water they look silvery or gold (1). This change in coloring no doubt is an adaptation to deep sea life, probably for concealment purposes. One of the squid's more unique body parts is their funnel; this is located underneath the squid's body and propels the squid by pumping water, obviously a remarkable adaptation for underwater life (1). The giant squid also has several body parts that help the squid feed. These are as following: feeding tentacles that capture the food, arms that guide the food from the tentacle to the beak, and the beak that slices the food into smaller pieces that the squid can consume (1). Giant squids are full of remarkable features beneficial for their

There are several major trends that developed in the vertebrate group that has allowed the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life. Some of these trends are improved respiration, protective body covering, and more efficient ways to reproduce. The adaptations that have allowed the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life are: Jaws, lungs, jointed vertebrate limbs, water tight skin, amniotic egg for reproduction. In birds and mammals another adaptation that has evolved is that they are endothermic meaning they generate internal heat.

Yeti’s are mythical monsters, who live in southeastern Asia, and are related to bigfoot and yowie. However, there is an even bigger monster who lurks in the shadows of the arctic ocean. The recently discovered yeti crab. This hairy, blind crab is part of the three known species of the yeti crab(Elizabeth Palermo). The crabs live in the South Ocean in Antarctica, “About 8,500 feet down lives Kiwa tyleri the newest member of the yeti crab family” (Jessica Halel). The scientific name for it is Kiwa tyleri. According to Elizabeth Palermo,author of Yeti' Crab's Strange Body Suits Its Hellish Habitat, “for the first time, K. tyleri is the only species of yeti crab known to reside in the Southern Ocean, off Antarctica”. The crabs gather only a few

One hundred and fifty million years ago, large aquatic species of reptile such as the Plesiosaur dominated the ocean, and were pre-eminent predators of the sea. The branch of now extinct Plesiosaurs, or ‘near lizards', evolved into variant closely related species specialised to take different niches in the food chain. Such species of Plesiosaur include the phenotypically similar Plesiosauroid and Pliosauroid. The physiological adaptations of the long necked variant, the Plesiosauroid, as it relates to deep sea diving, will be addressed in depth.

Final Thoughts: there are many other adaptations but i could only talk about a few out of many such as their teeth or their fur or eyesight under

If we are in deep waters we stay near the surface. We live in warm tropical waters in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. We mostly eat sponges, anemones, squid, shrimp, and of course, jellyfish!

Lives 500 to 1,000 meters below ocean surface, prefers continental shelves and island slopes. That creature name is Architeuthis dux, also called the giant Squid, which has the largest eyes of any animal on earth with a diameter of about 30 centimeters, great light absorbing capacity, helped them to see better, and able to capture prey easily in the dark sea. Their funnel that located beneath the body, or mantle, creating jet propulsion by pumping water, lay eggs and expel waste. It also serves to squirt ink to dim the water to catch their prey or escaped from enemies, like sperm whales. Two tentacles, each up

Squids are abundant in all oceans around the world, but the Caribbean Reef Squid lives from 2m below water to the deep depths of the ocean. The Reef squid has 10 tentacles; 8 around its mouth for feeding, and 2 long club-like tentacles for grasping

living but they have predators like the megalodon shark so i tell you that if you were to go deep

Although I'm not sure what documentary I saw this on, but a great example of an organism surviving when there was a change in their environment are polar bears. The way polar bears came to be was that one day way back when, a group of brown bears were wandered out of the forest and into the North Pole in search of food. Since their surroundings were all white, and the brown bears all had brown fur, it was hard for them to hunt since their prey like seals spotted them a mile away. Although many of these brown bears died out because their fur couldn't adapt to the environment, some bears started to develop whiter fur. The bears with whiter fur lived and the ones with darker fur died out. The whiter furred bears continued to pass down their

How have sea horses adapted better to survive in their habitat? Sea horses use camouflage, get food by the currents of the water, and use bone plates to protect them instead of scales. They are often hard to find and they have to have a good way to hide because they can’t get away fast enough.

According to Darwin’s novel book On the Origin of Species, he postulates his own “theory of evolution”. Here, Darwin proposes that natural selection is the driving factor that leads to the evolution of species. Only the fittest and most suitable to adapt to the all-changing environment will survive. This seems counter-intuitive to the fact that it does require more energy to be ambulatory on land rather than being mobile in water. But, the overall evolutionary gain from being mobile on land versus water justifies this expenditure of energy. Three things to be considered adaptations mammals have taken on to support this move from aquatics to land include: body thermoregulation, circulatory system changes, and advancement and complexity of internal

Over time, vertebrates have evolved and adapted to the environment for different reasons, such as predator defense, food security, and to respond to changes in deal with temperatures, just to name a few. Although adaptations are present in all animals there are a few differences between larger and smaller vertebrates. Migration and hibernation are a few of the different types of behavioral adaptations to help make it easier for them to survive.
