RAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                         RAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                        
Hey it's me again and this time I am going to talk about rays.  This is probably my most exciting blog because I really like rays and they are really cute.  I am going to compare and contrast rays to sharks.  Then I am going to describe what they look like.  Next I am going to describe their physical appearance.  

• Compare and contrast rays to sharks.
• Describe the ray's physical appearance.
• What do they eat and how do they get their food?
• How do rays defend themselves from predators?
• Other interesting characteristics of rays.
• I am going to teach you about a specific type of ray.
• Whats the difference between a skate and a ray? 

                                                          

                                                                 This is my favorite ray.  It's called the blue spotted stingray.Isn't it pretty.  I  like it.  Do you?  I am going to move on to the next on. ENJOY!!!!!!!

                                 COMPARE AND CONTRAST!!!!
First I am going to compare and contrast rays to sharks.  Like sharks rays have gills right , but rays have their gills on the on the bottom.  Sharks has their gills on the side.Sharks are alot diffrent comparing them to a ray.  If you think about it sharks are probably better hunters. Why because sharks are just built to hunt and rays are not they are built to sting things. I forgot one more thing .  If you think about this one to ray's and sharks skin feel the same.  They both feel like sandpaper.  Most rays camouflage into the sand.Sharks can't do that.  Or at least some sharks.  If sharks can do that that means they are the speacial kinds of sharks.  Now I going to move on to the next topic.  Hope you enjoy









                          PHYSICAL APPEARANCE !!!!!!!

Next I am going to talk about there physical appearance.  Ray's always are the fish that like to stand out.With their long tais and unique colors.  It just makes them stand out.  Did you know that rays tails can grow up to 10 feet long.Some ray's can be bigger than 4 people. I will show a picture in one minute.  Some rays mothe can be at the bottom or top.Their mouth is like that because sometime it's easier for them to get food.  The only down side to this is that they can'y see what they are eatig look at this video and picture for more.

 

                                                                

                     


                    HOW THEY  GET THEIR FOOD!!!!!

                 AND WHAT IT EATS!!!!!!!


They get their food by digging or waiting for the food.  Some rays are clever they just do what anybody would do.  Just go and get it.  Not wait for  it.  That makes you more hungray because it could take a fish days to  get past them.Don't worry they still are smart to move right. They eats crustaceans,small fish, and  mollusks.these thing are the most common of what they eat.They can't smell it so they use smell and electro receptors to find their food.  AWESOME RIGHT!!!!!

     HOW THEY DEFEND THEMSELVES!!!!!!!

Now I can move on to how they defend themselves.  They use their tail to sting  you.  That's why they are could the sting ray.   If they get frightened they will sting you and it's not funny at all it hurts so bad,but I am just guessing.  People can die if they get hurt like that.  Look at this picture. I feel bad for her/him.     They use their 10 foot long tail to zap you.  Then they

Hagfish and Jawless fish

 
I am going to talk about hagfish , but later on I am going to talk about lampreys.So hagfish look very nasty , but they actually help us by eating dead fish at the bottom of the sea.Hagfish use slime for self-defense.It sounds nasty, but it is pretty cool.Sometimes it can be nasty because they keep producing it until it runs out.Hagfish  have long bodies that can grow up to 16-32 inches long.Their eyes can be found under their skin .I know that sounds super duper nasty.There are 30 types of hagfish in the world.Their colors go to pink to black to gray. Then it stays that color forever and ever and ever.

  Now I am going to talk about lampreys.I don't know much about this but here I go.Lampreys look nasty and they are nasty. Like hagfish they do not eat dead thing,s they eat things that are alive like sharks and other things like sharks.Lampreys live in the fresh and salt water.Lampreys are very long.In fact  they can grow up to 27 inches long.Lampreys scare me the most because when they eat their mouth has to suck on it and all they really want out of what they eat is their meat and blood. Even though  they are jawless sometimes they deserve to live. MAYBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Levels of Classifacation

Hi and welcome to Taylor's science of fun. Today we are going to have fun because we are going to learn about the Levels of Classification:
KINGDOM
PHYLUM
CLASS
ORDER
FAMILY
GENUS                                                                                                     
SPECIES

 Now I am classifying the BABY PIT BULL.

 IT SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So lets get started the kingdom of the baby pit bull is the ANIMALIA.Examples of an animalia is a tiger          

Lets get started with the Phylum kingdom.Now the phylum of the baby pit bull is CHORDATA.Chordata  means a animals with a back bone so that means this dog has a back bone.Again a panther is an example of a Chordata.

The class of the pit bull is the MAMMALIA.An example of a mammalia is a Jaguar.

 The order of the pit bull is a CANIDAE.The example for a canidae is poodle.

Its genus is a CANIS.Another example for a canis is a dingo dog.                                                        

The species is CANIS LUPUS FAMILIARS.  an example for the species family is a domestic dog.    

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY BLOG AND LEARNING WITH ME. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE SIX KINGDOMS OF LIFE

Aristolte divide animal lifeand plant life into separate kingdoms.Living things sre classified based on how they are alike.The plant kingdom has manycells that have an outer cell.The archabacteria kingdom includes single celled organisoums.The name means ''anciet bacteria''.The animal kingdom are made up of many  diffrent
cells .Eubacteria kingdom once made up a kingdom menera in the five kingdom system of classifacation.the protist  kingdom is ae up of on cell.The fungi kingdom contains sigle celled or may celled organismsthat reproduce by spores.

• ANIMAL KINGDOM
• PROTIST KINGDOM
• FUNGI KINGDOM
• PLANT KINGDOM
• ARCHAEBACTEBIA KINGDOM

• EUBACTERIA KINGDOM

This year I want to be on the AB honer roll.I hope the class are much more fun.I love this school so much i bet it will be better.

This summer was so much fun intil my great grandfather got sick. He went to the hospital for to weeks it not so much fun. This lady came over to do my hair the next week. My grandmother went to a meeting for four days.I had to go to my aunts.And that was my summer.
