Science anyone?

Hi JJ.

1. Commensalism is an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm.

Symbiosis is the interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both. In this case, both benefit: the Clown fish, through his swimming around and swimming through the anemone stirs up the water and nutrients for it and the anemone provides protection for the Clown fish through its ability to kill predator fish with its toxic tubes. Both benefit from the relationship. Cool! 🙂

2. Yes! Sergeant Major.

3. Yes! Periwinkle snail!

Congratulations! Excellent!

What mammal has the shortest gestation time?
What animal has the highest blood pressure?
What mammal has, by far, has the richest milk?

Enjoy!

1. an opossum

2. A giraffe

3. A seal

May I add to JJ's research?

Although the shortest gestation time belongs to the Virginia Opossum,' the shortest gestation period known is 12 to 13 days, shared by three marsupials: the American or Virginian opossum (Didelphis marsupialis); the rare water opossum, or yapok (Chironectes minimus) of central and northern South America; and the eastern native cat (Dasyurus viverrinus) of Australia.'

This is the eastern native cat of Australia...cute!

And this is the Yapok of South America...another cutie...

And this is our beautiful Virginia Opossum!

Adorable!!!

3. A seal

Very good, however the blue whale has the highest percentage of protein in the milk, slightly more than seals. Bandicoot in Australia at 12.5 average is widely considered to have the shortest gestation time of any mammal. It's a toss up with the opossum.

Tuna, "warm blooded" or "cold blooded"?

Well Actually, bluefin Tuna and some other species are neither warmblooded nor coldblooded. They are species in between, meaning that they selectively warm parts of their body.

'....The milks that are highest in fat overall include the gray seal milk with 53.2 percent fat; whale milk with 34.8 percent fat;, and polar bear milk with 31 percent fat.....'

Protein content is 119.8 ml/mg/L in the Harp Seal and 127.9 ml/mg/L in the Blue Whale.

To what is the question referring based on 'richness'...protein or fat content?

Guess I should have been more specific and asked about protein content. Interestingly enough, a baby blue whale can gain over 10 pounds and hour and over 200 pounds per DAY

Anyone interested in returning to the oceans?
Have fun and enjoy!

1. What are a group of sea birds called?

2. Purple sea anemones and clownfish enjoy sharing a unique living arrangement: What is this living relationship called?

3 What are a group of herring called?

4. What are a group of jellyfish called?

?5. What is the definition of a plant-eating animal? Sea urchins are a good example of a marine animal that feeds on kelp, for instance.

6. A species that occurs naturally in an area (i.e. is not introduced) is referred to as what type of species?

7. A species that can live in many different habitats and can feed on a number of different organisms is referred to as what? For example, shore crabs on the Pacific coast live in a wide variety of habitats, such as mud, sand and rock, and feed on everything from the algae growing on rocks to invertebrates to detritus.

8. What are microscopic algae with plate-like structures composed of silica called?

9. To protect themselves against predators, many animals acquire coloring and markings to match and conceal themselves in their usual surroundings. For example the nudibranch (sea slug), Rostanga pulchra, is practically indiscernible from the red sponges on which it lays its eggs. What is this phenomenon known as?

10. What is a species which no longer exists called?

11. What is the broadest classification for animals called?

12. This term refers to the form and structure of an organism, in particular its outside features. What is this term?

13. What is the name of the zone of the ocean that extends from 1000m to 4000m below the surface of the ocean called?

14. Pelagic organisms that are free-swimming and so whose movements are independent of the tides, currents and waves are called what? Such animals include fish, whales, squid, crabs and shrimps. The distribution of these characters is limited by temperature and nutrient supply and decreases with decreasing depth.

2. Symbiotic

1. Flock, flight or parcel. Some seabirds are known as tubrenoses.

3. Army or shoal of herring.

4 BROOD, SMUCK or SMACK of jellyfish.

5 herbivorous - feeding only on plants

6. Indigenous

7. Generalist

8. Diatoms

9. Camouflage

10. Extinct

Time for dinner. Will check back later for the rest!

1. Flock, flight or parcel. Some seabirds are known as tubrenoses. - there is another specific term I'm looking for. 🙂

2, Symbiotic. - Yes!

3. Army or shoal of herring. - Yes!
