From ideas to creating, writing to editing, it's worth everything when I see my blog. It's been a year I created it, where I turned my passion for the ocean into a stream of words. Happy 1st birthday my baby blog.
Y ou've probably heard that piranhas are the deadly sea creatures that rely on animal or human flesh. But do you know confidently whether it is true or not? Here is a little story you can know about them. What are piranhas? Piranhas are a member of the Serrasalmidae family, inhabit in South American rivers, ponds, and reservoirs and also in the Amazon rivers. Studies say that they are at most 4000 different marine species and can grow up to 5 to 20 in., depending on the species. Scientists from various universities have done numerous experiments to know more about this tremendous creature. Even popular channels like the Animal Planet, Discovery have made many documentaries to study and know about these sea life creatures. A person who is obsessed with these sea monsters when to the Amazon river to find out the truth. Initially, he has done fishing to find the different piranhas living in that area. He also has done experimenting about this by risking his own lif...
Killer whales don't hesitate to hunt from herring to great white sharks. For the first time, gory footage reveals that orca pods can even bring down an adult blue whale. While past reports reveal that they were attempted attacks on blue whales, no one has observed orcas complete the job until March 19th, 2019. The series of events has been taken off on the southwestern coast of Australia from 2019 to 2021. The three separate attacks were described in the journal Marine Mammal Science. “This is the biggest predation event on the planet,” says study coauthor Robert Pitman, a cetacean ecologist to Science News’s Anna Gibbs. “We haven’t seen things like this since dinosaurs were here, and probably not even then.” In each attack, the orcas—also called killer whales—relied on strength in numbers. Between 50 and 75 orcas took part in each hunt, and more than a dozen of the same individuals were involved in all three events. The orcas employed different tactics to take down the whales, inc...
At an ocean depths of greater than 200 m, there is very little ambient sunlight. The bioluminescence animals provide a light source which reveals animals to the predators and prey. But deep in the ocean, the animals exhibit several strategies to hide from the predators: they are transparency, mirrored surfaces, counterillumination, and pigmentation. The dragonfish might be known as the fangtooth, is a deep-sea fish that wears black to disappear into the darkness. These fish live in the ocean deeps to take a cover. Even they can be caught due to the bioluminescent animals. So they disappear with a trick of their own: the stealth wear. Scientists reported that the 16 species out of 18 collected exhibit less than 0.5% of reflectance at 480 nm. They exhibit their disappearance through a close layer of melanosomes present within their skin cells. On a microscopic level, the melanosomes present in the ultra-black skin are of different shape and are arranged in geometry. ...
