to add on, these diseases were able to kill as many because of runoff pollution, something that we humans directly responsible for.

In California, parasites and infectious disease cause more than 40% of sea otter deaths. #39canimals

Otters know how to "cook" the clams the eat by laying "them in the sun until the heat causes them to open even though the otters are capable of cracking them open immediately” (Perdue et al 3).

#WhatIlearnedin39C 39c taught me the proper way of reading long scientific articles. It is important that you skim over the headings prior to starting the reading at all, as this can help prepare yourself for what you are about to read.

Agreed! What makes it worse is that these marine parks LIE to their workers, telling them that these animals actually live longer in captivity when it is CLEARLY the opposite. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39canimals

Microplastics are smaller pieces of plastic that end up in the stomachs of our marine animals. And these particles aren't decomposable. This problem is one that we can solve, but everyone has to come together to fix this problem. #WhatIlearnedin39C

#WhatIlearnedin39C was that despite the already-existing noises in the ocean, HUMANS have made it significantly louder. Here's a short 3-minute video briefing over the topic! #39canimals https://t.co/cxNcMQORbo

#WhatILearnedIn39C was that wolves are some of the wisest, most social, and intelligent beings that exist on this planet. They embody the value of family, demonstrate impeccable leadership skills, and are quite the hunters. #39canimals

There is so much plastic in the ocean. The pollution effects every living creature no matter if you can see it or not. #WhatIlearnedin39C

I learned that trophy hunting and poaching, no matter the animal isn't punished harshly enough, and we keep losing precious animals because of this. #WhatIlearnedin39C

Research is made easier if you know how to skim. Reading headers, the first and last lines of each paragraph, and reading the introduction and conclusion tell you a lot about the paper. #WhatIlearnedin39C

Under the Clean Water Act, a federal law that governs water pollution, things like the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program were created. The things that they strive to achieve will be on the link below. #39canimals

But since the passing of the Clean Water Act, the discharge of pollutants have been decreased by more than 65% (Lyon & Stein 1). #39canimals
