What drives a person to commit a moral turpitude such as capturing or killing an innocent creature, just because you can make a little money for doing it? That is something that many have been trying to understand since the issue of the slaughtering of dolphins in Taiji, Japan and other places around the world, has arisen. The “hunt” has been a Japanese tradition since the mid 1600’s. Over the years, they have “improved” their techniques and tools used in the slaughtering process. The issue has raised

the goal is the same. I will hone in on three specific arguments, often the most typical, for the two sides. The high school student’s end result is up to him; however, I think the most defining question should be: do you want to be a burger joint flipper or a burger joint owner? The clothing of students may seem like a petty point to make concerning the education of the next generation of leaders and the working force. If one has recently driven past a high school one will notice some of the popular

Jungle Fever that tries to describe a non-healthy relationship between races, we learn how people viewed and perceived these relationships. The main culprits of this film are flipper and Angie.

maneuverability when capturing prey and their pectoral flippers allow them to be highly maneuverable (Wiley et al. 2011). Their pectoral flippers are the longest of any cetacean which vary in length from one fourth to one third the total body length (Wiley et al. 2011). These flippers compared to other species of whale, are also highly mobile at the shoulder and possess some flexibility along the length (Wiley et al. 2011). Also, on the leading edge of the flippers, occurring early in young fetuses, are formations
Throughout the animal kingdom, adaptations take place continuously and even the smallest of changes can leave a significant impact. Examples can be seen within any plant or animal. One example would include sea turtles, specifically, the Loggerhead Turtles. These turtles are native to the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans as well as the Mediterranean Sea (Deurmit L 2007). They thrive in either temperate or tropical climates and can live in a myriad of biomes (Deurmit L 2007). These biomes include

You spot a lonely seal on an iceberg and then suddenly a fast wave approaches it. The seal slips off the iceberg and falls into the mouths of two generations of hungry Orcas. Killer Whales which are widely distributed in the world’s ocean, but the status of most populations of killer whales is unknown (Killer Whale (Orcinus
In 1988 a 9 foot long monster washed upon the shores of Harlech, Wales. The reptilian monster had been entangled in fishing nets which kept it from reaching surface and it eventually drowned. It weighed in at about 2,000 pounds and was predicted to have been at least 100 years old. The creature was the largest and oldest Leatherback turtle ever recorded (Turtles). The Leatherback turtle is a carnivorous reptile that spends most of its life in the water. Their lifespan is guessed to be 30-45 but there
know that flipper was putting on a show for the whole world to watch. “The smiles you see on these animals are not true reflections of happiness. In actuality, they hate to be enclosed in their holding tanks and are often not fed until it is time to perform their daily routines.” Says Ric O’Barry in his book “Behind the Dolphin’s Smiles”, talking about the Flipper. These animals constantly have a smile on their face weather there happy or not and that’s what makes them a money maker. Flipper the Dolphin
closer to the Equator. Humpback whales are powerful swimmers, and they use their massive tail fin, called a fluke to propel themselves through or even out of the water! Mothers and their young swim close together, often touching one another with their flippers with what appears to be gestures of affection. Even though it takes more than one year for a humpback whale to grow fully, mother whales leave them after one year (National Geographic). Their beautiful song can travel miles and miles underwater.

exterior of the mammals, two first-sight identifiers set these two species apart. They are the flippers and ears. Seals have small, furry, “…thinly webbed flippers, actually, with a claw on each small toe” (National Ocean Service, What’s the difference) that are very weak so they flop on their bellies to move on land. They move like a caterpillar inching forward. When in the water, seals use their rear flippers to steer by moving them back and forth like a fish’s tail. Sea lions, on the other hand, have
feel the UVA rays burning against my fair skin. I snatched out a snorkel and a pair of black flippers from the compartment that’s under the seat, in the petite boat made for fishing. The oversized groggy goggles covered over half of my face, while an obnoxious tube on the side tangled in my fresh beach hair.
