This document lists 5 marine animals - dolphins, baleen whales, seabirds, Basilosaurus, and turtles. It then provides more information on dolphins, stating they are cetacean mammals closely related to whales and porpoises.
Amphibians use their skin for respiration and some small species rely entirely on their skin for breathing. They reproduce in water and have permeable skin, making them sensitive to environmental changes. Amphibians evolved from sarcopterygian fish in the Devonian period and inhabit a variety of terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal, and freshwater habitats, starting as larvae in water and undergoing metamorphosis to air-breathing adults on land for most species.
Otters are semi-aquatic mammals that are usually found within a few hundred meters of water and depend on aquatic habitats for food. They have an almost worldwide distribution and feed on seafood, fish, and various invertebrates. Otters have a large, dark body with short, robust limbs and interdigital membranes, as well as a long neck, discreet eyes and ears, and abundant beards.
Anemones are colorful ocean invertebrates that live in all the world's oceans on rocks or coral reefs. They have a mouth in the center of their bodies surrounded by tentacles that they use to sting and catch fish for food. Female anemones shoot eggs from their mouths that float until finding a new place to live, allowing anemones to reproduce and survive for up to 50 years while there being over 1000 kinds.
Introduction to the uses of fossils, including modes of life and their environments. Compatible with the new OCR A level in Geology (UK) but good for basic first year university introduction
Amphibians are vertebrates that live in water as larvae and on land as adults, have moist skin lacking scales and claws, and evolved adaptations like stronger bones and lungs to live on land. The three modern groups of amphibians are salamanders, frogs and toads, and caecilians, with early amphibians developing traits that helped them survive out of water like improved limb movement and air breathing.
Spotted dolphins live in schools of up to 100 members and are often seen with other dolphins. They live in warm seas and eat fish, squid, and crabs. Females tend to eat more squid and fish. Spotted dolphins use echolocation to navigate and hunt, and have gray backs with spots and white tipped beaks. They mate year-round and females breed every 2-3 years. Spotted dolphins are endangered due to accidental catching in tuna fisheries, but conservation efforts include dolphin-safe fishing practices.
The document outlines key events in the evolution of life on Earth from the early Paleozoic era to the current Cenozoic era, including the first land plants and animals, the rise of insects and flowering plants, the age of mammals and the splitting of continents. Major geological periods and climate changes are also mentioned.
The document discusses ancient Indian traditional methods for forecasting the onset of the rainy season as presented by Dr. A.S. Nene in Nagpur, India on July 20, 2010. Some medium-range animal behavior indicators include ants storing food and herons migrating to mountains. Short-range indicators with moderate reliability are dogs defecating in roads at higher elevations and dragonflies flying low. Medium-range plant phenology predictions of low reliability include fruits ripening early for trees like bangkal, physic nut, and siniguelas.

The Irukandji jellyfish is one of the most venomous jellyfish in the world. It is very small, usually 5-10mm wide, but its venom is extremely powerful, 100 times more potent than a cobra's venom. Little is known about its life cycle due to its small and fragile nature. It is believed to reproduce similar to other jellyfish, starting as an egg that develops into a polyp then buds off ephyra that mature into adult jellyfish. Their sting can cause excruciating "Irukandji syndrome" within 30 minutes of the sting.
The document summarizes key facts about the Great Barrier Reef:
1. The Great Barrier Reef stretches over 2,600 km along the coast of Queensland, Australia and contains over 900 islands.
2. It is the world's largest structure made by living organisms, visible from outer space, and home to over 1,500 fish species and 400 types of coral.
3. The reef's fish and coral come in many colors, shapes, and sizes, and some coral and fish can live over 50 years in the reef.
The Bottlenose dolphin can weigh over 200kg and reach lengths of 2-3 meters. They are found worldwide, inhabiting seas, lagoons, and coasts in both tropical and polar regions. Bottlenose dolphins eat various fish, squids, octopuses, and krill depending on location, consuming around 15kg per day. While not on the red list, bottlenose dolphins face threats from pollution, construction, and being caught in fishing nets.
The document summarizes characteristics of different animals and their habitats. Camels have long eyelashes and nostrils to keep sand out, and big feet to walk on sand. They can live without water for months. Fish live in water, have scales and fins to swim, and gills to breathe. Frogs live in water as tadpoles then on land, and keep their bodies wet. Elephants, lions and giraffes live in the jungle habitat.
Box jellyfish have among the most deadly venom in the world, attacking the heart, brain, and skin. They live in coastal waters off northern Australia and throughout the Indo-Pacific from October to April. Though they can cause human death in under 3 minutes if anti-venom is not administered within 30 minutes, a 10-year-old girl survived extensive stings from a box jellyfish through 6 weeks of treatment.
Puffer fish have unique behaviors like being able to puff up their bodies with water or air when threatened. They live under the ocean and come in various sizes depending on species. Puffer fish eat coral and sponges. The male puffer fish guides the female to shallow water close to shore.
Amphibians such as frogs, salamanders and toads live part of their lives in water and part on land, laying eggs in water. Baby amphibians hatch from eggs and live in water, where they grow legs and tails before metamorphosing and leaving the water as adult frogs.
Jellyfish have existed in oceans for over 500 million years, drifting along ocean currents. They are among the most ancient and mysterious marine creatures, with over 2,000 known species that range greatly in size, shape, color and habitat. Though delicate, jellyfish populations are vast and found in every ocean. The document explores the diversity of jellyfish through many photographs and details about some of their unique traits, behaviors, and roles in ecosystems around the world.
Frogs live in or near water because their skin dries out easily and they lay eggs in water. They live in warm, wet areas like swamps, marshes, and ponds. Frogs eat insects, spiders, worms, small fish, and sometimes other frogs that are smaller than them. They use their long tongue to catch prey. Frogs vary in size from the smallest Cuban Pygmy frog to the largest goliath frog. Most are green or brown, while poisonous frogs often have bright colors. Interesting facts: frogs have teeth on their upper jaw and roof of their mouth, and their ears are connected to their lungs.
Jellyfish are delicate sea animals that use stinging tentacles to catch prey and defend themselves, despite having no brain, eyes, or complex body structure. They have existed since dinosaur times and can be found globally, from oceans to ponds. Different jellyfish species range in size and danger level, with some possessing venom that can kill humans quickly. Jellyfish rely on ocean currents for transportation and use camouflage and stinging defenses to protect themselves while being unable to swim rapidly.
This document describes 5 strange animals: the blobfish, which lives deep in the ocean and looks gelatinous; the tarsier, a small primate found in the Philippines with large eyes and ability to turn its head 180 degrees; the sea pig, which lives on the ocean floor and eats mud; the aye-aye, the largest nocturnal primate found in Madagascar with sharp claws for digging; and the star-nosed mole, found in North America with a star-shaped nose used to search for food electrically. Many of these unusual animals are endangered or at risk due to habitat loss and hunting.
Frogs are amphibians that are cold-blooded vertebrates known for their distinctive ribbit call. They have scale-less skin, webbed feet, and live in a variety of habitats around the world. Frogs go through distinct life cycle stages from egg to tadpole to adult frog. They have over 3,000 different species that vary widely in size, coloration, diet and habitat, such as poison dart frogs, Goliath frogs, and wood frogs.
This document discusses several sea creatures including starfish, sea anemones, seahorses, and sea dragons. Starfish have no eyes or brains but eat shellfish with their mouth. Sea anemones sting their prey and drag it to their mouth to eat. Seahorses live in shallow tropical and temperate waters.
The yellow-eyed penguin is a threatened species native to New Zealand. It is grey and black with yellow eyes and lives between 22 years. They live in pairs and lay two eggs, taking turns incubating the eggs. Their population is currently estimated between 6,000-7,000 individuals living on sub-Antarctic islands. Their habitat and numbers have declined due to introduced predators like cats and changes to land use. Conservation efforts aim to protect the species and involve studying penguin populations to monitor their health and survival.
Northern royal albatrosses have a wingspan of over 3 meters which allows them to fly long distances over the oceans in search of squid and fish to eat. They can live up to 60 years and weigh around 9 kilograms. Albatrosses are rarely seen on land except to breed, laying one egg every two years. They use their specialized nostrils and ability to float on water to help them survive at sea for long periods.
Coral reefs are formed by marine animals known as corals. Coral colonies grow continuously through budding of polyps and help construct reefs over time along with other organisms like coralline algae and foraminiferans. Corals are limited to tropical waters above 20 degrees centigrade and are primarily found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans as well as the Caribbean. There are two main types of corals - soft corals like sea plums and hard corals composed of hydrocorals and stony corals. Coral reefs take three forms - fringing reefs along the coast, barrier reefs some distance offshore, and atoll reefs that surround lagoons. Coral reef
Dolphins are mammals because they are warm-blooded vertebrates that breathe air and live in the sea. Reptiles like snakes are cold-blooded vertebrates that breathe with lungs, have skin covered in scales, and lay eggs. Clownfish are fish because they are mostly cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates that have fins and lay eggs.
Box jellyfish contain a potent venom that has caused over 5,000 deaths in Australia. Their venom attacks the heart, nervous system and skin cells, and a sting can cause death within minutes from cardiac arrest. Box jellyfish have 24 eyes, 15-foot long tentacles containing millions of venom capsules that can fire upon contact with chemicals on surfaces. Their venom is so toxic that 1 microgram per kilogram of body weight can be lethal in humans.
Dolphins can imitate a variety of sounds from their environment almost indistinguishably from the original, including rusty doors, water, bells, and bird calls. They are also able to mimic human speech and laughter. Sharks have cartilaginous skeletons unlike bony fish and are divided into 8 groups based on body shape, head features, gill openings and other characteristics. The largest prehistoric shark, Megalodon, reached over 12 meters long. Grampus whales, related to sperm whales, have males up to 9.5 meters long and females up to 7 meters. They are black with a white belly and males have a large dorsal fin. Plankton consists of tiny plant and animal

The document discusses various aspects of water including plants and animals that live in water, beautiful lagoons and islands, the three states of water, and how water is used. It also contains pictures related to water and topics covered. The author expresses their interest in water and its properties.
Most of the Earth's surface consists of water, with more water than land. There are two kinds of water: salt water containing high salt levels and freshwater with less than 1% salt, which is safe for drinking. While most surface water is frozen or salty, water is unique for existing naturally as a liquid, gas, and solid.
This document discusses properties of water and where it is used. It describes how the average American family uses over 300 gallons of water per day at home, with 70% used indoors and 30% outdoors. The document also provides instructions for an experiment showing how oil and water do not mix but food coloring separates from the oil and disperses in the water.
Over 1.5 billion people lack access to clean water, and almost 4 million people die each year from water-related diseases. Agriculture accounts for around 70% of the world's water usage, while industry uses 22%. The human body is composed of roughly 70% water at birth and adulthood. Around 70-75% of the Earth's surface is covered in water. The same water that existed on Earth millions of years ago remains today, as water is part of a closed system and the planet rarely loses or gains extra matter. Humans can only use about three tenths of one percent of all water on Earth, which is found in groundwater, aquifers, rivers, and freshwater lakes.
The document discusses three animals found in water - dolphins, sharks, and includes some pictures. Dolphins are aquatic mammals that can be found in both sea and freshwater. Sharks generally live 20-30 years and each species has its own life expectancy. The document contains sections on dolphins, sharks, and pictures related to animals in water.
The document discusses various facts about water. It notes that while water covers 70% of the planet, only 1% is accessible for human consumption. Access to water has led to over 500 conflicts and 21 disputes resulting in military action over the past 50 years. The document also discusses how water is the basic component of life, as animals and plants consist largely of water. Additionally, it outlines how loss of water from the body can lead to health issues and even death. The document concludes by discussing the secret of water memory and how understanding water's unique properties could allow people to control processes in the world.
This document discusses various facts about water. It notes that March 22nd is World Water Day. It explores how hot water can freeze faster than cold water, contrary to logical reasoning. As water is cooled below freezing, it becomes "superviscid" at -120ยฐC and then "glass water" below -135ยฐC, lacking a crystalline structure. The document also mentions that 70% of Earth is covered in water but only 1% is drinkable. The cleanest water is found in Finland. It provides details on how much water the average human drinks and health impacts of water loss. Some water can also be dangerous, like in Azerbaijan where water contains high methane and can burn.
This document outlines 7 topics related to water: 1) walks near water, 2) animals that live in or near water, 3) plants that grow in or near water, 4) protected water areas, 5) literature, music and art about water, 6) interesting water facts, and 7) water in free time. It provides examples for each topic such as jellyfish, whales, and sharks for animals; algae, lily, and cane for plants; and Daugavas loki National Park and Reserves of Latvia for protected areas. It also mentions a song by Placebo and poems by L.S. Suhorukov about water as well as health benefits of swimming and drinking water.
This document provides an overview of several amphibian and aquatic animal species:
- It defines amphibians as animals that live both on land and in water, having moist skin and living in moist environments. The three main groups are caecilians, salamanders, and frogs.
- Frogs are born as tadpoles in water and undergo metamorphosis to live on land, though some frogs hatch as full frogs.
- The Galapagos Giant Tortoise lives only on the Galapagos Islands, eating grass, cacti, and fruits, and faced extinction from human harvesting and introduced predators.
- Hippos spend most of their time submerged in water to stay
Max presents experiments about water that he conducted with his parents. He shares facts about water such as it being essential for life, covering 70% of the Earth's surface, and having three states of matter. Max describes two experiments where he demonstrates that hot water rises above cold water due to differences in density, and an experiment where raisins float and sink in water as carbon dioxide bubbles attach and detach from them.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
