1 month, 2 weeks ago1 month, 2 weeks agoMy thoughts kind of related to the decline of sharks world wide. Seems like many species of fish are overfished as well. If sharks could not maintain their diet (at whatever level), then a constant replacement rate of teeth could result in a degradation to the shark’s body over time.

1 month, 3 weeks ago1 month, 3 weeks agoAmazing sharks replace their teeth weekly. No wonder they need to eat so much considering the mass of the tooth loss. I wonder if the replacement rate would change depending on their diet?
-
Studies with captive sharks in aquariums show that they actually don’t eat a lot, a few pounds a week. Now warm blooded sharks (like the Great White and mako) are more active and have a higher metabolism, but even then they will gorge themselves and then not eat for a lengthy period of time afterwards.

2 months, 3 weeks ago2 months, 3 weeks agoEveryone be prepared and safe for hurricane Dorian heading towards the Bahamas and the east coast of the US. Nothing will focus you like having a bunch of the hurricane models track over your house. They have since changed, but they can change again. Be safe!

4 months, 4 weeks ago4 months, 4 weeks agoIt really shows the complexity of earth systems. Think about the sub categories and ranges of potential values for each (not to mention the ability to measure those values accurately) of these cards’ topics. No shortage of things to study.

6 months, 2 weeks ago6 months, 2 weeks agoJust a question Jeanette. Would you say it is a very young mastodon because its teeth don’t look very worn? Thanks.
-
It’s not very young, but it’s not a full grown adult. I would classify it in the teens, on par with the age class we keep seeing with the Gomphs at Montbrook as well
-
Thanks!
