The Caribbean reef #octopus can canvas large pieces of coral with their inter-arm webbing forming a tight seal to trap their prey.
Watch this octopus descend, blow a jet of water to spook prey, & then comb through the coral until it finds a fish.

We need to realize how horrific this problem is!! Yes, we have taken some steps such as switching from plastic to metal straws, but that isn't enough. Humans collectively to need to solve this problem. #39canimals
Some other causes of the extinction of giant panda are that pandas really have a difficult time when reproducing. They would have one baby in tears and even if there are more than one baby panda was born, the parent would only take care of the strongest one of them. #39canimals
In the documentary "Blackfish," I learned that orcas live longer in the wild compared to when they're held captive. In captivity their lifespan is up to 35 years and in the wild, they have the lifespan of humans: about 75 years. #39canimals
Veganism saves the lives of animals. Recognizing what we decide to put into our bodies can help end animal cruelty. Adapt a healthier plant-based diet and save the planet at the same time!:)

This also applies to frogs because they're an irreplaceable species. Frogs are an indicator species and their presence plays a critical role in the environment. #39canimals
This is very interesting because it relates the "Blackfish" documentary. I watched this for the extra credit assignment and I learned that the orcas that are held captive live for about 25-35 years. #39canimals
When comparing wild orcas to captive orcas, it is clear to notice the variations between their developing lifestyles, social interactions, and in forms of survival. Orcas should have enough space to swim 100 miles a day, which is 14000 circles around the tank.

Throughout this quarter, I've learned that humans are defintiely not superior to animals. Rather the human species are animals as well. Animals may not think like us or feel emotions like us, but they can in their own ways which makes them unique. #39canimals
@marisol39C I'm so glad you're interested in learning more about frogs! If you'd like to learn more about them, you can check out my advocacy project: #39canimals

This is interesting because frogs (the species I researched) are also facing problems due to climate change, deforestation, and habitat loss. Frogs don't face private ownership, but they do get tested on in laboratories. #39canimals
Non-human primates are being affected by climate change, deforestation, habitat loss, private ownership, pet trade, hunting, being forced to live in captivity for human entertainment, and cosmetic and medical testing in laboratories. #39canimals https://t.co/Yh1IyCFTWI
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

I learned that there are alternative ways to testing cosmetic products and companies still decide to test on animals such as rabbits, mice, and guinea pigs. #WhatIlearnedin39C

I learned that social media is an effective way to communicate issues globally to different people. Social media is a form of communication and helps us become more knowledgeable by following authors, organizations, researchers, scientists. #WhatIlearnedin39C
Throughout this quarter, the continuous research has taught me how to find credible sources and credible authors. Look at my research agenda from my portfolio to see the development of my credible sources. #WhatIlearnedin39C

Another solution to climate change is by following the California bills that are passed to prevent the intensity of climate change. California has been passing bills since 1988. #39canimals

One way to fix climate change is to modernize our infrastructures. By doing this, this will help prevent the release of excess amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. #39canimals
