The cutest most microscopic critter in the deep ocean just might be the dumbo octopus. It has large, rounded fins on its body that resemble the ears of “Dumbo, Walt Disney’s animated elephant.” And like the adorable little elephant, the dumbo octopus uses those big “ears” to get around. It’s biome is the aquatic Marine. Dumbo octopus can be found typically in every ocean in the world.…
Hairy Chested Yeti Crab The hairy chested yeti crab and sometimes known as the Hoff crab after David Hasselhoff, Kiwa tyleri, (Bittel) belong to a group called squat crabs are extraordinary creatures for different reasons. Some including their outer appearance and the way they live in the climates where most other crabs or lobsters couldn’t survive.

(Palermo) Its living conditions are very odd compared to those of other species, considering they live in the waters off of Antarctica, just above freezing temperatures.…
Did you know that Dumbo Octopus is located at the bottom of every ocean in the world? The Dumbo Octopus is located in the deep depths in oceans, and rarely gets any sunlight since it lives so deep. The Dumbo Octopus is rarely seen, and that’s why only very few people know about it. Dumbo Octopuses live in the deep depths in the New Zealand, Australia, Monterey Bay in California, in the waters of Oregon and the Philippines, as well as Papua, and New Guinea. The Dumbo Octopus lives in the depths of the ocean from 900-4,190 metres.…
Now, we all know what comes with the deep blue sea, that’s right, sharks and lots of them. Hillenbrand went for the gold when trying to scare the reader with the amount of sharks she puts in this book, and how much they terrorize the men. Zamperini and the men are circled by the sharks for days on end and occasionally being poked and prodded by the fins of the sharks acting as a warning. It has now been 27 days…
The land crab has its problems. With one small pincer and one large one, we think the land crab looks off balance but the large pincer is not superfluous. Large crabs have eight legs, and two pincers. They can be brown, gray, or white in color. Each land crab has their eyes on stalks that can fold down.…
“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever,” an infamous marine biologist, Jacques-Yves Cousteau once said. He knew this spell well, enduring many dangerous marine trips in the waters surrounding his home country of France. The French-Marine explorer sailed around the world, learning about the organisms inhabiting it. This would not have been possible without his invention of scuba gear. Students study him in order to get a better understanding of marine biology.…
These trees also exhibit the misleading name of vampire squid which are in fact not true squid and are generally more related to octopuses (Yokobori et al., 2007). There is a current interest in squids because of their large geographical range and the increase in biomass of the Humboldt and Jumbo in the Pacific Ocean (Young et al., 2013). Squids appear to be on their way to becoming much more significant in their respective ecosystems and would be well worth studying. Squid also come in sizes as large as the Colossal Squid, which may exceed to 14 m and as small as the Caribbean reef squid at 5-10 cm, which brings them to the attention of the general public (Coll et al., 2013). In this paper, I will go over squid anatomy, reproduction, behaviors, feeding habits, environment, and repercussions from climate change and fishing pressure.…
On the sea most people feel a sense of fear and mystery. There is no telling how deep the water reaches or what lies below. The complexity is demonstrated by the ever changing tide. Carson implies that the place where humankind can feel safe with the complex beauties of life is where the water and sand meet. In her final sentence, Carson also describes how the edge continues to attract people because of its beauty.…
The average depth of the ocean is about twelve thousand feet (12,000). The deepest part of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep and is located beneath the western pacific ocean, which runs several hundred kilometers. The ocean is home to more than a million different types of species, with half of them on the verge of being extinct. Being home to various types of creatures, there must also be a vast amount of space for them to inhabit. Ocean travel by boat dates back millions of years, but only in modern times has extensive underwater travel become possible.…
About one million plants and animals live in the four oceans on Earth, and an estimated nine million have yet to be discovered (The Ocean 2015). Since the oceans are huge masses of water it only makes sense that the animals in it need a…
Is the coastal eroding? Yes, along with the power of the waves and wind the coast is eroding. The coast is not only eroding because of the water and wind, it’s also eroding because of human activity. The one activity that we do causing erosion is dredging; it’s when we get shipped to us.…

With and without hope, full and empty of the sea from space. For eons, we lived far deep in the depths of the ocean hidden away from the outside world. It is a sacred place to live at the time where believing something impossible can never be forgotten from all stories that were told about my home. My home that has sunk to the bottom of the ocean and now my people struggle to survive for many eons that go by quickly. It is a good thing to know at least for now some of us has survived the longest up until we were able to rebuild some parts of our city in ruins.…

In 2004 my family and I made our first trip to the beach. The adventure seemed to take a lifetime to reach our destination. Being in the car for 12 hours is not what any child would call a fun time. My brother and I would play video games and watch movies to past the time away and eat the snacks mom would pack us.…
