The Magnificent Marine Animal
Athan Stamis
Introduction <>(((*> = Fish
The big and fearless Great-White Shark has one weakness, it can't stop swimming! That's because it would die. This large and ferocious shark can eat many things and this is because of its body structure. It also can eat many things because of how it moves.
Diet
A reef, mako, or hammerhead shark’s diet is huge but not as big as the Great-White Shark’s. A fascinating fact is that a Great-White Shark only attack’s a human because they think we are their lunch but, they only take a chunk because they don’t like how we taste! This is important because Jaws is fictional, and sharks don’t kill humans on purpose. This organism’s diet contains fish include Sturgeon, Hake, Halibut, Salmon, Tuna, and Menhaden. It also includes other organism’s which includes porpoises, sea lions, otters, whales, other sharks, rays, crabs, squid, abalones, sea turtles, and birds.Its body colors help it blend in with the habitat around it. This amazing marine animal usually attacks from behind or below often with a sudden burst of speed. It may roll over or twist sideways to attack more effectively. A Great-White Shark could smell a drop of blood a mile away. Once the prey is in striking distance, it raises its snout, drops its lower jaw, and thrusts forward its upper jaw. Then the lower jaw moves up and forward, closing its mouth and letting its teeth sink into the prey.
Body Structure
A Great-White Sharks body structure is how its diet is so vast! This creature can grow up to as much as 26.3 feet or more, not including the megalodon! Large individuals of this marine animal can weigh up to 4,800 pounds! This marine animal is larger than a jet ski! The Jaw of this magnificent marine animal is one of its many special features, because it has a bite force of 1.8 tons! The body structure of this Great-White is spindle shaped and, it's not the most colorful fish in the sea because of its boring colors but these colors help it in many ways!
Movement
The Carcharodon Carcharias has its own way of movement. It moves like a fish but, in a special way! A fascinating fact is that a Great-White Sharks top speed is 25 mph! This is important for catching its prey. This interesting creature swims at a slower pace but when hunting, it reaches its top speed, but only for a short period of time. This is because it doesn’t have enough energy to continue with that speed.

The big and fearless Great-White Shark has many attributes. The Great-White is not the prettiest thing in the ocean but, it keeps the food chain in line!

Go Fish
In my fish tank I decided to do a fictional theme. I included in my fish tank a dragon skull, a wizard castle, and some plants. The fish I picked had to be pretty. I picked a male Delta Tail beta fish, a blue tang and a Neon Tetra, and Veil Tail beta. I also picked a snail and some shrimp to help clean up my aquarium and keep the organisms from decaying in my aquarium. This aquarium is my favorite fish tank ever because I love it’s theme. I like the theme because I really like wizards and dragons.
