Last
week our Biology 11 class ventured to the Vancouver aquarium. We went to the
aquarium to have a real life visual of some of the animals we will be studying,
something that lets us relate to the topic. In most of the tanks was at least
one thing we have already learned about, or something I am sure we will learn
about in the very near future!
1. Sea
anemones and clownish help each other greatly, the anemones protect the fish
and the fish protect the anemones. A perfect relationship in the wild.
2. The
otter is so clean because the ability of I it’s fur to repel water depends on cleanliness
3. Otters
died out on our coast, but some were shipped in to repopulate. Otters are found
by kelp forests and rocky coasts.
4. The
sea anemones are green next to see the sea otter tank.
5. I
like Box Jellyfish, they are adapted to survive by more or less killing
everything that trys to hurt it.
6. The
scientific name for a beluga is Delphinapterus lecus.
7. The
potbelly seahorses movement is interesting.
8. The
Starry flounder are flat and play dead, and are camouflages, these are their adaptations.
9. Moon-Jellies
move very gracefully. Their adaptation for feeding on plankton is to contract
their head sucking in plankton.
10. The octocpus uses its sucksion cups to grasp
prey. It is a good predator due to its ability to hide.
11. The
different feeding types in sea lions are a wide variety of fish
12. The
caiman is the world’s most terrifying animal, a crocodile.
13. They
are a dark green, as they live in a tropical area this helps hide them.
14. The
largest fish in the aquarium is the arapaima
15. The
vegetarian fish is the red hook silver dollar, it eats seeds!
16. Piranhas
are the biggest threat while removing a hook from their mouth.
17. Sharks
have not many bones, as they have zero.
18. In
the shark one can find, stingrays, assocted fish, and a turtle.
19. The
scientific name for the giant red sea urchin is Strongylocentrotus franciscanus, it has many spines
as adaptations to help it survive.
20. Archerfish
find their food by shooting water at them. The shooting of water makes them
archers?
21. The
sea turtle in the tropic zone was Schoona
