Compare And Contrast Dolphins And Harp Seals

On Thursday, June 22, the Blythe Desert Dolphins hosted their second home swim meet, where they competed against the Brawley Sunstrokers and the Holtville Stingrays at the Palo Verde High School pool.

Hatchet, Island of the Blue Dolphins, and My Side of the Mountain are all very different books. In Hatchet, Brian did not make the pilot have a heart attack and die so that he was forced to land the plane. Where as in My Side of the Mountain Sam purposely runs away from home trying to escape the cramped New York apartment where he lives with his parents and eight siblings. In the Island of the blue Dolphins Karana throws herself off the ship taking her and her tribe to new lands after seeing her brother left on shore. Now, in My Side of the Mountain running away from home is obviously voluntary where as hatchet is quite different because Brian crashing on the deserted island was not voluntary.

They weigh about 300 pounds and males quiet larger than females, They come in various colors example, gray, white, yellow and many more. Harbor seals eat fish, and their blubber helps to keep them warm. Their skin is made for them to swim vividly in the water.

A. Rus hoelze et al, studied the impact of intense hunting of Northern Elephant Seals in the late 19th century, whose genetic variation reduced due to this bottleneck. This reduced their population size to just about 20. They found that although it has since rebounded to over 30K now but compared to their southern counterparts i.e., Southern Elephant Seals they have much less genetic variation. The Southern Elephant Seals didn’t went through this bottleneck event. It is clear that the genes of Northern Elephant Seals still carrying the marks of this bottleneck.

Like how unicorns are related to horses, narwhals are related to many kinds of whales. Some included are: bottlenose dolphins, belugas, orcas, and harbor porpoises. These narwhals can grow rapidly like most kinds of whales. They can grow from being just five feet in length as a newborn and 17 feet as an adult. Also, newborns weigh from about 175 to 220 pounds. And adults are usually around 2100 pounds. Age differentiation of narwhals has been easy not just because the weight and length, but because of their color. Younger narwhals are more gray while adults are lighter in color. This makes it easy to tell the difference between young and old narwhals. Even though it is easy to tell the difference between narwhals in itself, narwhals are usually not seen too often because they do not come too close to the shore. And they can dive down to 5,000 feet. Though narwhals are interesting, they are threatened by many factors, natural and unnatural

Native American traditional stories, folktales, are stories passed down from generation to generation by story telling and performance. Native Americans emphasized the importance of living in harmony with the naturual world. They had complex religious beliefs, sophisticated poltical systems, and strong morals. Some of the stories are creation myths, tales of heroes, and tricksters. Trickster tales are stories that have animals or human characters who engage in deceit, violence, or magic. Often trickster tales are said to explain why the world is the way it is. "Coyote and the Buffalo" and "Fox and Coyote and Whale" are two trickster tales, retold by Mourning Dove, explaining how Coyote's action created changes in

Harbor seal Harbor seal is pretty small when compared to other seal species. Harbor seals usually come in dark brown, tan and different shades of grey. They mainly eat fish and shellfish. The harbor seal fits in as a secondary consumer, meaning it is a carnivore and eats primary consumers such as fish.

Dolphins live in packs also known as pods. All dolphins don't live in the same pod forever they might move from pod to pod. That's why there are smart because they ned brain capacity to move from pod to pod and not break chemistry. Most pods don't care for the leader beside the bottlenose dolphins. regardless most species pods do not have any membership. a lot of pods are separated from male to female. Male pods can live with the same members ranging from 10 to 25 years. Male pods cooperate during mating season so each dolphin gets a specific female. Most male pods compete and team up to defend themselves. There are three different types of pods, nursery, juveniles, and males. Nursey pods are full of females and their calfs. Juvenile pods

In addition to this nature, they are capable of advanced communication skills that allow them to teach new tactics they have learned to their fellow dolphins. I am also the same as a Bottlenose Dolphin when it comes to efficient communication skills.. My style of learning requires me to go through an exhaustive process of trial and error until I have efficiently learned what I have desired to learn. With the knowledge that I have gained, I have been able to ascend to higher levels of academic studies with the ability to use my acquired thinking and comprehension skills which help to aid me in everyday life. However, I am not one to hoard any information that I have managed to learn. I will share any knowledge that I know with my fellow peers around me so that I may aid them throughout life just like a Bottlenose

Despite having “whale in its name, the false killer whale is actually a large dolphin like its namesake “the killer whale”. The difference between a “whale” and a “dolphin” is much like the difference between a “ship” and a “boat”. It has more to do with size than science. In fact, false killer whales are large dolphins.

Killer whales are one of the most fascinating displays of ocean life. The killer whale has characteristics that are important to its survival in the ocean. It is interesting to know that killer whales have a plentiful diet. It is astounding to see how killer whales behave in the ocean. I plan to tell you about the killer whale, its characteristics, its diet, and its behavior in the ocean as well as the predation of the orca.

I will never forget watching the winning touchdown pass from the stands, that won the Dolphins their first and only game in 2007, I was screaming as excitement stemmed through me that day. The 2007 season was one of the worst for the Miami Dolphins; however, in 1972 the Dolphins made history with a perfect season and a perfect finish. I’m going to compare both teams coaches, key players, Superbowl wins, and win loss record. Although with different circumstances between the 1972 Dolphins and present teams, they deserve more recognition and regard from football fans across the country.

Dolphins have been around a lot longer than humans. They originated about 50 million years ago. The most common dolphin, being the bottlenose dolphin, has been around for 15 million years. Surprisingly, dolphins originated from members of the cetaceans group. Cetaceans used to be land mammals but evolved into being aquatic mammals. In From Land to Water it stated, “The transition from land to water is documented by a series of intermediate fossils from India and Pakistan.” This research helps prove how they used to be land mammals but evolved to live in the ocean. Dolphins are one out of many aquatic mammals who need oxygen, but they need water in order to live. Believe it or not, dolphins are somewhat related to hippos, camels, deer, cattle, and giraffes. In From Land to Water, “ Many features that are

Bottlenose dolphins are one of thirty-two species of marine dolphins (World Book 297). Their scientific name is Tursiops Truncatus. Males are usually longer and heavier than females. Bottlenose dolphins can grow to be thirteen feet long and weigh up to 600 pounds (Bottlenose Dolphins). This makes bottlenose dolphins the largest of the beaked

The Atlantic Walrus can be best described as a very large seal with 2 large tusks. No other marine mammal has these two characteristics (Burt,1952). The most distinguishing trait of the Walrus are their long tusks that are actually enlarged, upper canine teeth that continue to grow throughout the animal’s entire life and can reach a maximum
