come. The clip opens with the villainous Doctor Octopus disabling the controls of the train and leaping off to safety, thereby leaving Spiderman to realize that, without him at least trying, lives will be lost. Thus, at the onset of the film clip, the dramatic question is raised, “Can Spiderman stop the train from derailing and plummeting into the city streets, thereby killing hundreds of innocent citizens?” The battle between Spiderman and Doctor Octopus soon shifts to a physical and mental struggle
Movies can be introduced to the audience in different genres. The genre of a movie depends on the story or the script. Depending on the storyline there are many types of film genres like action, realistic, romance, thriller, etc. Actual movies are movies directed and produced using the information based on the real life experience. A true story movie can have different genres because the movies are based on the actual life experience and not everybody, has experienced the same. Another, the genre
Review of Spiderman 2 Once again with “Spider-Man 2” we are presented with another comic based film from a long line of Marvel adaptations created for the big screen. Of course, following the excitement created by the release of the first film “Spider-Man”, there have been various rumours shadowing the sequel’s production and casting. But these rumours did not seem to affect the final production as the film’s storyline, plot, and dialogue were excellent. The special effects were astounding
dependent -- stage. No longer self-sufficiently producing its own heat and light, each house was inextricably tied to an industrial energy producer. . . . To contemporaries it seemed that industries were expanding, sending out tentacles, octopus-like, into every house."(28-29) This dread of uniformity became intensified as incandescent gas lighting, high pressure gas lighting (Robins 142), and finally electric arc-lighting grew more common in urban settings. People became immediately
Learning and Consciousness in Octopuses Cephalopods are known to be exceptionally intelligent by invertebrate standards and in some respects even rival “higher” vertebrates. These animals have many highly evolved sensory and processing organs that allow them to gain a greater understanding of their environment and their place within it. Due to their advanced structures, many of which are analogous to vertebrate structures, and abilities they have been widely studied. Their methods of learning have
early times, tales of horror have been gone around strange sea creatures, especially the giant squid and the fearsome octopus. They are among the largest, strongest, fastest, most cunning, and ferocious of all animals. Many of them, however, are quite harmless and are useful in a variety of ways. _________________________________________ *The Eight-Armed Octopus The octopus is a soft, bag-shaped creature. It has eight long, slender arms, with cup shaped suckers and connected by thin membranes
using their chromatophores, it might be best to know exactly what the chromatophores are and what they can do. Camouflage is the most important defense action in cephalopods. The cephalopod chromatophore system has captivated people since squid and octopus and cuttlefish were discovered. Chromatophores are specific cells which can contain or produce pigment, or reflect light in a precise way to create a certain desired color. The system is the only known example of skin reflectance under direct neural
group in our society is the athlete. Baseball players will not step on the foul line as they leave the field of play. Football players have exact pregame rituals that can not be interrupted. The hockey fans of the Detroit Red Wings will throw an octopus onto the ice after their team scores a goal. The Red Sox did not will a World Series all of those years, simply because they trade Babe Ruth to the Yankees. The Cubs are still paying for not allowing a goat into one of their games. While all of these
Like almost any other animal the octopus has many dangers that they need to hide from. Octopuses are masters of camouflage and have amazing defensive skills that can be used for fighting. Octopi are known for defending themselves against small sharks and other dangerous predators. An octopus uses its color changing abilities to blend in with its surroundings and to warn other animals to prevent them from attacking the octopus. Along with having camouflage, all species of octopi are known to be venomous
The giant pacific octopus is in the kingdom Animalia because it is multicellular, eukaryotic, and has no cell walls. In addition to this, the giant pacific octopus reproduces sexually and has cells that are used for specific functions. (Kalupa, 2012) The octopus is in the phylum Molluska. It is under Molluska because the octopus has a soft body (mollus meaning soft), and is a cephalopod. It also has bilateral symmetry. (Kalupa, 2012) The giant pacific octopus’s class is Cephalopoda. This means “head-foot”
around potential tools and assembling them when needed. Until these observations, invertebrates have not been known to have such cognitive abilities that are needed to engage in sophisticated behaviors such as tool use. One particular octopus species, the veined octopus, has been known to use a specific tactic called stilt walking that allows them to carry coconut shell halves and use them to build shelter against predators. Complex cognitive processes such as planning, problem-solving, and environment
Motivation of Immorality in The Rise of Silas Lapham and The Octopus In both William Dean Howells' The Rise of Silas Lapham and The Octopus by Frank Norris, a character is faced with the moral issues involved with operating his business. Howells' character, Silas Lapham (The Colonel) and Norris' Magnus Derrick are both desirous to have a prominent position in their respective societies, but are in the precarious situation of having to deploy immoral methods to achieve this coveted stature during
will be explored by taking a closer look at Thaumoctopus mimicus, the mimic octopus, and Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum. The first animal, the mimic octopus, has acquired the unique adaption of being able to impersonate characteristic of other species as a mechanism of self defense. The mimic octopus’ full systematic classification is Animalia Mollusca Cephalopoda Octopoda Octopodidae Thaumoctopus mimicus. This octopus likes to live in shallow waters that are only 2 to 12 meters deep off the
have hijacked their characteristics for imaginary aliens. An octopus has three hearts that pump blue-green blood around its body, using a copper- rather than iron-based carrier for oxygen. Its eight tentacles are covered in suckers that enable it to amble, probe and manipulate with great dexterity. When in danger or enraged, it can switch to jet propulsion, and if danger persists it can eject an ink cloud of confusion and darkness. An octopus has few hard body parts (beak and eyes only), making its body
Fish that are found in the benthic part of the ocean are really interesting to me. Benthic means it's the lowest level in any body of water such as an ocean or a lake. Different organisms that live in this deep part of the ocean are called benthos. Some examples of benthos are starfish, sea cucumbers, oysters, and clams. There are many different geographies to the be if ocean such as trenches, mountains, and volcanoes. The benthos have their own food source which is called detritus. Detritus
The name of our organism is Deformis stilla. Deformis stilla is translated to ugly blobfish. Our organism is found in the deep seas of the Dead Sea. Our organism is a carnivore and obtains its food by dangling the light attached to its head in front of itself which guides the prey towards its mouth. It moves by fins which enable it glide like a stingray through the water, and it also pushes air out of its body to propel itself. The organism digests its food by taking in the entire fish or prey it
Spencer Stein Sarah Beck Oceanography 101 14 May 2018 The octopus genome and the evolution of cephalopod neural and morphological novelties This Jornal conducted research on the two-spot octopus, or Octopus bimaculoides, by sequencing the genome of this species. They found that “Coleoid cephalopods (octopus, squid and cuttlefish) are active, resourceful predators with a rich behavioural repertoire. They have the largest nervous systems among the invertebrates and present other striking morphological
My invertebrate research paper is about Dumbo octopus, also called Grimpoteuthis. Dumbo octopuses are type of mollusks. In the category of mollusks it is divided into smaller groups, and they are part of the cephalopods. These octopuses got their name from Disney’s film Dumbo. This is because of their fin that extends from the mantle above each eye. Dumbo octopuses are deep sea animals that live on the ocean floor at extreme depths of 3000 to 4000 meters, and because of that they have the ability
(Doc 1). As a member of the order Octopoda, this species has eight arms (Letter G) (Doc 3). Furthermore both the sub groups Incirrina and the Cirrina have a reduced shell size (letter H) (Doc 3). As a member of the sub order Incirrina, the veined Octopus does not have cirra (letter J) which is found only in the the sub order Cirrina (Doc 5). The letter I represents the lack of paired fins on the head an aspect that is com...
Biology of a Squid Squids are among the most varied and unique of all invertebrates. They are mollusks of the Class Cephalopod, along with the nautilus, cuttlefish, and octopus. Squids are highly evolved, and have developed a number of traits uncommon to most other mollusks. Fossil records of cephalopods have dated back the Cambrian Period (about 600 million years ago). Structurally, squids have only small variations of a basic theme common to all cephalopods. They are spherical or cigar-shaped
