The Shwhale




A. The Shwhale is the largest predators of mammals ever known. Shwhale's are generally drably countershaded. Countershading is a type of camouflage in which the dorsal side is darker than the ventral side. The dark top of a countershaded animal blends in with the oceans depth when you look from above. The light ventral side blends in with the lighter surface of the sea when looked at from below. The result is that predators or prey do not see the difference between the enviroment and to species. The Shwhale's eyes are lateral, the left eye is twice the size of the right eye so it is able to see in deep water as well as in shallow water.

B. The Shwhale lives in the ocean. It lives in the deep part of the ocean but travels all over the shollow parts as well.

C. Shwhales only live in the Bahamas. Their are about 3,000 Shwhales in the world.

D. Shwhales reproduce once in their lifetime. They can only have one offspring. They take very good care of their offspring. It is very rare if a Shwhale were to die young. The Shwhales pick very carefully when choosing a mate.

E. Shwhales eat all sharks and whales. They also eat fish.

F. The Shwhale is the highest position on the tropical aquatic ecosystem food web. The Shwhales niche is the bottom of the ocean. It is very dark and not many species go around a Shwhales niche.

G. If the PH level changed or if there was acidic rain then the Shwhale would bocome very ill.
