GREAT WHITE SHARK

The white shark, commonly called the great white shark, is one of the most iconic and feared creatures of the ocean. With its razor-sharp teeth and menacing appearance, it certainly looks dangerous. But the more we learn about this creature, the more we learn they are not indiscriminate predators, and definitely don't prefer humans as prey. Great white sharks are relatively large, although likely not as large as they might be in our imagination.   T he largest shark species is a plankton eater, the whale shark. Great whites average about 10-15 feet in length, and their maximum size is estimated at a length of 20 feet and weight of 4,200 pounds. Females are generally larger than males. They have a stout body, black eye, a steel gray back and a white underside.  Great white sharks are widely distributed across the world's oceans. This shark resides mostly in temperate waters in the pelagic zone. They can range to depths over 775 feet. They may patrol coastal

ELEPHANT SEAL

The elephant seal (genus Mirounga ) is the world's largest seal. There are two species of elephant seals, named according to the hemisphere in which they are found. Northern elephant seals ( M. angustirostris)  are found in coastal waters around Canada and Mexico, while southern elephant seals ( M. leonina ) are found off the coast of New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina.   Only the adult male (bull) "elephant of the sea" has the large proboscis that resembles an elephant's trunk. The bull uses the proboscis to roar during the mating season. The large nose acts as a rebreather, allowing the seal to reabsorb moisture when it exhales. During the mating season, seals don't leave the beach, so they must conserve water.   Southern elephant seals are a bit larger than northern elephant seals. Males of both species are much larger than females. An average adult southern male may weigh 3,000 kg (6,600 lb) and reach a length of 5 m (16 ft), while the a

PENGUINS THE SNOW BIRD

Penguins are feathered birds , but they are, differently feathered. Because they spend so much of their lives in the water, they keep their feathers slicked down and waterproofed. Penguins have a special oil gland, called a preen gland, that produces a steady supply of waterproofing oil. A penguin uses its beak to apply the substance to its feathers regularly. Their oiled feathers help keep them warm in the frigid waters, and also reduce drag when they're swimming. Like other birds, penguins molt old feathers and regrow replacements. But instead of losing some feathers at different times throughout the year, penguins do their molting all at once. This is known as a catastrophic molt. Once each year, the penguin bulks up on fish to prepare for its annual changing of the feathers. Then, over a period of a few weeks, it molts all of its feathers and grows new ones. Because its feathers are so vital to its ability to survive in cold waters, it makes sense for a penguin to simply

HUMAN KIDNEY

The kidneys are the main organs of the urinary system. They function chiefly to filter blood in order to remove wastes and excess water. The waste and water are excreted as urine. The kidneys also reabsorb and return to the blood needed substances, including amino acids, sugar, sodium, potassium, and other nutrients. The kidneys filter about 200 quarts of blood per day and produce about 2 quarts of wa ste and extra fluid. This urine flows through tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores the urine until it is excreted from the body. Kidney Anatomy and Functions  The kidneys are popularly described as being bean-shaped and reddish in color. They are located in the middle region of the back, with one on either side of the spinal column. Each kidney is about 12 centimeters long and 6 centimeters wide. Blood is supplied to each kidney through an artery called the renal artery. Processed blood is removed from the kidneys and returned to circul
