The Ocean

[kylel999]

I'm simply fascinated with the deep ocean, it's just amazing to me. I like to see what kinds of fucked up things come out because of the separation between the surface and the black underworld we call the deep ocean.

Oh, and every time I see this thread, I think of the Led Zeppelin song:

I really like the ocean but the only exception which will never make me go near it in the future is due to big sharks, I watched ''Jaws'' As a kid and became terrified of sharks after that.

[QUOTE=BAZ;19702373]They're endangered?

I got them for £20 each at a local reptile shop. Axolotls, the best looking ones are light pink with red "gills" and blue eyes. They're pretty easy to keep aslong as you set the water right initially.[/QUOTE]

"The axolotl is only native to Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco in central Mexico. Unfortunately for the axolotl, Lake Chalco no longer exists as it was drained by humans to avoid periodic flooding, and Lake Xochimilco remains a diminished glimpse of its former self, existing mainly as canals. The water temperature in Xochimilco rarely rises above 20 °C (68 °F), though it may fall to 6 or 7 °C (45 °F) in the winter, and perhaps lower. The wild population has been put under heavy pressure by the growth of Mexico City.[3] Axolotls are also sold as food in Mexican markets and were a staple in the Aztec diet.[2] They are currently listed by CITES as an endangered species and by IUCN as critically endangered in the wild, with a decreasing population."

They are now...

Better call them by their TRUE name!

Does your document series change in part 3? I was watching it and then, after watching part 2 and moving on to part 3, it started with different content, and in parts 1&2, the narrator uses the metric system but in part 3, it is changed to imperial units, he speaks of miles instead of kilometers and so on. And parts 1-2 are named differently than parts 3-5.

Otherwise, great thread, would read again. Actually this is my 3rd time reading this.

[OvB]

Yeah, probably.

Thanks for reading.

Not to much to say about it. They've only found fossils of it's teeth so they can only speculate on the use, and shape of the jaw. Some say it was at the tip of the lower jaw, while some say it was farther in the throat. It's assumed that the teeth would move up as they were lost in a circular pattern.
