Vampire Squid
(Vampyroteuthis Infernalis)
Extreme Habitat/ Environment
The vampire squid lives in the midnight/deep zone. This means that they are found at ocean depths of around 1,500 to 3,000 metres. They occupy the deepest tropical oceans, with preferred temperatures of 2-6 degrees celsius. The temperature of water at those depths are so cold. They live in the part of the ocean where there is barely no light. Therefore there is no light intensity. It is extremely dark at those depths, and the surroundings are not visible. This invisibility requires organisms living there, to have some way/adaptation of navigating through the darkness. Bioluminescent light is emitted by organisms to help them see (such as the vampire squid), also they have

This creates buoyancy and lightness which helps them save energy to swim. The tissues have equal densities as the surrounding deep water which decreases the need for active swimming, which saves energy. (Metabolism and oxygen intake another adaptation to come). The vampire squids use jet propulsion which can reach fast speeds. This lessens the energy requirement for the vampire squids. This adaptations helps with their survival due to the low oxygen rates in their habitat, therefore, by having a less active way of getting around they are energy economical. This makes it possible for the vampire squids to stay at a low oxygen zone, as oxygen is needed to carry out respiration, and do energy costly …show more content…
The eggs that are hatched are fewer in amount than other squids, and are also bigger. The female hangs around the area where the eggs were planted in for around 13 months. The female vampire squid dies right after giving birth to the eggs (due to the large usage of energy/worn out). The eggs are released in deeper depths of the ocean, this protects the eggs from harm as there won’t be many creatures living there. Therefore this adaptation of spawning the eggs in even deeper depths allow the eggs to survive, and carry on the species of the vampire squid (free of
What is scaly, creepy, 50 feet long, and swims in the world's most notorious lake? If you said The Loch Ness Monster, then you’re correct! The Loch Ness Monster, mostly known as the creature Nessie, is a huge, “mythical” creature that has been scaring the people of Ireland for centuries, but this monster is actually real.
Seaworld is a giant marine life theme park. The greatest attraction to these many theme park would be those killer whales. In fact, these killer whales are the face of the park. As gigant as these mammals are, seaworld is keeping them in some pretty tight quarters. Mr. Jett and Mr.Ventre says “Wild killer whales can swim a hundred miles daily as they socialize, forage, communicate, and breed. In stark contrast, with little horizontal or vertical space in their enclosures, captive orcas swim only limited distances, with most spending many hours surface resting.” The animals don't have the freedom they need. Also when taking the whales out of their natural habit the whales tend to be depressed and not as heath in that situation. They need their freedom in the big ocean blue. Bring them into the small living units, breeding whales in captivity all for the entertainment of humans. At young ages the calves are taken away from their mothers on to a new seaworld park. Mothers of the calves have even been seen denying their offspring.
“Tentacles” by Roland Smith is the second novel in the “Cryptid Hunters” series and was released in 2009. Uncle Wolfe 's latest project is to go to New Zealand to find a giant squid, and the gigantic freighter he has rented for the trip may just be haunted. Someone on the trip is determined to sabotage their trip. Grace and Marty may just be the next victims, if they keep poking their noses into things.
Squidward Tentacles is an employee at the Krusty Krab. He is a 34 year old male. He resides in Bikini Bottom. His hobbies include playing his clarinet and painting multiple pictures which he has false hope will one day be published in some museum. He has hatred for going to work, and is horrible with customer service. He exhibits a strong desire to fit in with a higher caste than himself. There have been many episodes though where when given the chance to prove himself worthy of a higher caste he will retreat to a safer place like his house. His esteem level seems very low. He never leaves his house other than for work either. He hates being social and that’s very obvious in every action Squidward carries out. He rarely dates and when he does there is never a second date. He is a healthy man of his age. He really doesn’t have many friends. There is his two neighbors Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star, they want to be friends with him but Squidward can barely tolerate either of them. When he is sad he usually turns to his music, painting, or bubble baths which he takes very often. His life goal or aspiration is to be a famous artist and musician. He’s a very smart individual but has absolutely horrible social skills.
Family therapy is often needed when families go through transitions such as separations between parents and divorce. According to research, “the power of family therapy derives from bringing parents and children together to transform their interactions” (Nichols, & Davis, p.18), as problems need to be addressed at their source. The children who are the most vulnerable, when parents decide to separate, exhibit symptoms which are exaggerations of their parent’s problems (Nichols, & Davis, p.18). Frank and Walt Berkman are the examples of how children cope and adapt to the stressors of family separations such as marital separations and
... aren’t ready to known yet, or maybe they’ll turn out to just be people sensitive to the sunlight. Though the hypothesis remains, Bram Stoker and all the other writers about vampire got their ideas from something. That something could’ve been a lesser version of what is thought to be a Vampire.
Sabellaria cementarium belongs to the phylum Annelids and is an invertebrate polychaete species. They are found in small clumps at the rocky bottoms of the sea floor where they use the rich source of natural phytoplankton as their primary diet (Qian and Chia, 1990). The tube-like worms can behave social and form extensive reefs or independently build hollow tubes in to the sandstone (pawlik and Chia, 1991). Embryos form a polar lobe that is absorbed in to the blastomeres at the end of division. Larval development and movement follows shortly after the 14-15 hour fertilization period where spiral cleaving of the fertilized oocytes appears (Render, 1983). Much is still not known about the invertebrate worm in their natural niche.
...ank you have to make sure that the right temperature stays in the tank because if the water gets to hot they wont really have a place to go too, so they could end up over heating and could die. It is also important to have the right type of food for them as well. They like to eat worms, squid, and sometimes other fish.
*It may move over the bottom of the aquarium tank with the tips of its
Though food is everlasting in both the coral reef and deep sea, space is very limited. Organisms in both habitats have to compete for space and survival, having defense mechanisms to keep other species from killing out their kind. Some fishes in the coral reef hide in cracks and crevices along the rocks and corals to hide from their predators. Other fishes camouflage within the brightly colored corals to hide from predators, or even humans looking into their tank. The deep sea holds many small fish, but with large mouths. The large mouths and pointy teeth help the miniscule fish eat their prey, whi...
There are many variations to vampire weather modern or ancient. Some can turn into bats or wolves while others can’t. Some can be killed with holy water and sunlight while others can’t. Some cast a reflection while others don’t. Though there are many variations to the vampire all drink blood and can be killed in some
The crew threw harpoons at the creature, but those would not stay in the flesh for long. When the crew got close enough to put a noose around the creature, the rope tightened and cut through the animal, causing most of it to sink to the bottom of the sea. The crew, however, managed to pull the tail of the creature on board, and bring it back to the French Consul. From there, the tail and a report about the creature made its way to the French Academy of Sciences. Giant squid, of which there are many different species, have been spotted less than fifty times in the last century, but none have been seen in their natural habitat, the depths of the sea, or caught on tape.
Before commencement of the diving reflex, three critical changes have to occur to the body in order to stimulate the diving reflex. First to occur is change in the heart rate, this occurs immediately when the face has contact with cold water the human heart rate slows down ten to twenty-five percent. Seals for example undergo extreme changes in their heart rates, from going approximately 125 beats per minute to as low as 10 on a lengthened dive. (Arterial gas tensions, 1989). By slowing the heart rate it reduces the need for bloodstream oxygen, dispensing more to be utilized by other vital organs. Following the heart rate changes peripheral vasoconstriction sets in, which is the narrowing of blood vessels to reduce blood flow and is achieved by a muscular contraction in the blood vessel walls. This decreases the amount of blood that flows to peripheral organs in which do not need a high level of oxygen to function. This is the prevention of blood circulation to certain areas, first to close off are the Toes and fingers, then hands and feet, and ultimately arms and legs. The constriction allows for more blood for use by the heart, brain and organs. Lastly, the blood shift that occurs only during very deep dives. When this happens organ and circulatory walls allow plasma and water to pass freely throughout the thoracic cavity, so its pressure stays constant and prevents the organs from being crushed. In this stage, the lungs' alveoli fill up with blood plasma, which is reabsorbed as soon as the animal leaves the pressurized surrounding. This stage of the diving reflex has been observed in humans such as deep diving scuba divers, who can reach distances of approximately 90+ metres. Therefore, both a conscious and an unconscious pers...
What they do is produce light (bioluminescence) that helps the squid camouflage itself at night. The squid has a special way of sensing how much moonlight is coming down, and then using a shutter, can control how much light comes out. This makes the squid not cast a shadow, making it harder for predators and prey to see it. During the day, the squid pumps out the dead bacteria, and the process starts again. What her team did was look at how these bacteria produced their light. When they were in a dilute solution with very few bacteria, then they did not produce light. But when there were many bacteria, they did produce light. The reason this happened is because the bacteria produce these chemical messengers called Quorums, which help the bacteria know how much of them there
Twilight diverges from the vampire lore quite a bit and contains very little information about any other supernatural beings. Most vampire stories stress that vampires are night dwellers and that they cannot remain “alive” when the sun rises. Nevertheless, Twilight ignores that known fact; in this series the vampires are, not only capable of staying awake during the day, but capable of being touched by direct sunlight.... ... middle of paper ...
