Is it possible for a whale in captivity to live after it has been realsed

1 answer:

4 0

The possibility of release is only possible if the whale has only been in captivity for a short time. An example of this is Springer, the killer whale that was treated for emaciation and nursed back to health before being rehabitated and ruined to their pod. For orcas like the whales at Seaworld (which has just been banned from further breeding! Yay!), these whales are unable to be released as they have been in captivity their whole life. All animals, including marine mammals, can be imprinted by human interaction. Captive whales are accustomed to being fed by humans and do not know how to fend for themselves in the wild. If they were released into the wild, these tame whales may attack boats and humans, thinking they will feed them and inevitably starve to death because they are unable to hunt. Whales live in pods otherwise known as their whole life. They hunt and feed with them. If a captive whale were to be released, it would be unable to hunt as they wouldn't have a pod that would assist them.

Economic benefits of forest

omeli [17]

Forests play an important role in the economic development of a country. They provide several goods which serve as raw materials for many industries. Wood grown in forests serves as a source of energy for rural households.

Most of the world’s paper is made from wood and one rather reliable index to the degree of economic development of a country is its per capita consumption of paper. As an economy develops economically, paper is used as packaging material, in communications and in scores of other uses. No really satisfactory substitute for paper exists for many of its uses.

While it has long been recognized that forests play many roles in the economic development of a country in addition to providing wood fiber for many uses, the non-wood outputs of forests are coming increasingly to be recognized and valued everywhere in the world. Forests have watershed values especially in areas with fragile and easily eroded soils; tree cover may be highly valuable simply as protection to the watershed.

Forests are valued as a place for outdoor recreation. The kinds of forests most valuable for outdoor recreation are not always the same as the kinds most valuable for wood production and vice versa. The dense forest with trees closely spaced to take full advantage of the sunlight, moisture and fertility to grow wood, is often less attractive to the recreationist than a more open forest.

Forests are the home for many species of wildlife including mammals, reptiles and birds. Some of these forms of wildlife are clearly valuable to man. Ecologists have been much disturbed at the reduction in wildlife numbers, sometimes to the point of extinction, as tropical forests are cleared.

Bats and birds are unrelated animals, yet they both evolved wings. by acquiring similar traits (i.e., wings) as they adapted to similar environments, these species exhibit convergent evolution through analogy present between the wings. Convergent evolution happens when two distantly related organisms acquire the similar traits in response to the similar habitat or niche.

Out of the following given choices;

a. Drink additional water to prevent dehydration.

b. Eat something with 15 g of simple carbohydrates.

c. Go to the first aid station to have glucose checked.

d. Take another dose of the oral agent.

The answer is B. The stated symptoms are symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The exercises drained glucose from her blood as the muscles used up the glucose in respiration. Since diabetics have flawed insulin protein that is incapable of enabling cells take up glucose and hepatocytes to make glucose, the blood sugar levels drop to critical levels that threaten body functions.
