The Aquarium.

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
