The West Indian manatee lives in shallow coastal waters, rivers, and estuaries in warmer parts of the Americas. It has adaptations for staying underwater, like nostrils that can close tightly and a thick layer of insulating body fat. Its flexible upper lip helps guide vegetation into its mouth to eat.
Catadromous migration: The movement of large number of individuals from fresh water to sea water, generally for spawning as happens in the case of eels.
Anadromous fishes live and feed in ocean waters but their spawning grounds lie in the tributaries of rivers.
Many types of fish migrate on a regular basis, on time scales ranging from daily to annually or longer, and over distances ranging from a few metres to thousands of kilometres. Fish usually migrate to feed or to reproduce, but in other cases the reasons are unclear.
Migrations involve the fish moving from one part of a water body to another on a regular basis. Some particular types of migration are anadromous, in which adult fish live in the sea and migrate into fresh water to spawn, and catadromous, in which adult fish live in fresh water and migrate into salt water to spawn.
Marine forage fish often make large migrations between their spawning, feeding and nursery grounds. Movements are associated with ocean currents and with the availability of food in different areas at different times of year. The migratory movements may partly be linked to the fact that the fish cannot identify their own offspring and moving in this way prevents cannibalism. Some species have been described by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as highly migratory species. These are large pelagic fish that move in and out of the exclusive economic zones of different nations, and these are covered differently in the treaty from other fish.
Salmon and striped bass are well-known anadromous fish, and freshwater eels are catadromous fish that make large migrations. The bull shark is a euryhaline species that moves at will from fresh to salt water, and many marine fish make a diel vertical migration, rising to the surface to feed at night and sinking to lower layers of the ocean by day. Some fish such as tuna move to the north and south at different times of year following temperature gradients. The patterns of migration are of great interest to the fishing industry. Movements of fish in fresh water also occur; often the fish swim upriver to spawn, and these traditional movements are increasingly being disrupted by the building of dams.

Mechanism of Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha) Migration and its Impact to Nature
Tenualosa ilisha (ilish, hilsa, hilsa herring or hilsa shad) is a species of fish in the herring family (Clupeidae), and a popular food fish in South Asia. Five type of ilish can be found worldwide. Yearly ilish caught are 5,000,000 ton. Among them, 50%-60% are caught by Bangladesh, 15%-20% are caught by India, Pakistan and rest 5%-10% are caught by Malaysia, Thailand, China, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. The fish contributes about 12% of the total fish production and about 1% of GDP in Bangladesh.
Predator-prey relations refer to the interactions between two species where one species is the hunted food source for the other. The organism that feeds is called the predator and the organism that is fed upon is the prey.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

5. Bengal Tiger
Panthera tigris tigris
The Bengal tiger, or Royal Bengal tiger, roams a wide range of habitats
including high altitudes, tropical and subtropical
rainforests, mangroves, and grasslands.
Tigers use their distinctive coats as camouflage (no two have exactly the
same stripes).
white spots on the backside of each ear help baby tigers to see their
mothers. Without the spots, which are very visible against a black
background, the stripes of a mother tiger would make them almost invisible
to the blurry-eyed cubs who trail behind them
Bengal tigers hunt mostly at night, killing their prey by severing the spinal
cord, or by inflicting a suffocation bite (usually for larger prey).
Hunting at night allows them to have an advantage against
their prey. (most of there prey are not nocturnal and have
poor night vision)

-The Giant panda also known as, Panda,
Is found in the southwestern China.
-Pandas spend almost 12 hours a day
eating bamboo and other vegetation.

- The shape of pandas teeth are big and dull,
to help them chomp through bamboo.
- Pandas don’t have thumbs, but their
wrists act as thumb-like bones that act like thumbs
to grip onto bamboo.
- Pandas usually get their food off of the
top of mountains, and their climbing
ability makes it easy but it’s
hard to get their food because humans
are usually in the valley.

1. They have extremely bright colors that help scare off predators. Also their
patterns help scare off predators.
2. They carry their eggs and tadpoles on their back to protect them from

3. They can pick up poison from plants/animals to kill off the predators
who eat them.
Poison dart frogs live mainly in South America. They
