Animal Kingdom Classify similar animals into Phyla 36 Animal Phyla –Only 1 has vertebrates
3
Nekton Strong swimmers in the pelagic realm
4
CUTTLEFISH
5
Squid
7
Giant Squid Captured, Filmed for First Time : Dec 22, 2006- Japan
9
Fig. 13-12, p. 268 An immature female specimen of the squid researchers are calling Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni the "colossal squid". (April 2003)
10
Cephalopod Mollusks Pelagic = squid, cuttlefish, chambered nautilus (benthic = octopus) Foot modified into tentacles Active predators Highly evolved nervous system Largest of the invertebrates (59 ft squid)
11
Vertebrates: Cartilaginous Fish – Skeletons made of cartilage skates, rays –more benthic –Dorsoventrally flattened sharks –More pelagic –Torpedo shaped and streamlined
13
Fig. 13-13, p. 269
14
Fig. 13-14, p. 269
15
Cartilaginous Fish skeletons made of tough elastic cartilage negatively buoyant –Use fins for lift –Store oil in liver Gill slits are visible some of the active sharks must swim to breathe
16
Vertebrates: Bony Fish Skeletons made of bone most numerous and successful of all vertebrates
17
Fig. 13-15, p. 270
18
Bony Fish – Class Osteichthyes swim bladders
20
Bony Fish – Class Osteichthyes operculum
21
Fig. 13-16, p. 271
22
Bony Fish – Class Osteichthyes body shape effects the efficiency of movement
24
Vertebrates: Marine Reptiles Sea turtles, sea snakes, marine iguanas, marine crocodiles
26
Fig. 13-19, p. 273
27
Fig. 13-18, p. 272
28
Marine Reptiles ectothermic covered with scales breathe air with lungs, have specialized salt glands to excrete excess salt taken in from seawater
29
Vertebrates: Marine Birds Albatrosses, pelicans, gulls, terns, puffins and penguins are endotherms have feathers also have salt secreting glands
32
Fig. 13-20, p. 274
33
Vertebrates: Marine Mammals mammary glands hair endothermic

42
Marine Mammals Sirenia –manatees- only herbivorous marine mammal
44
Fig. 13-25, p. 279
