Anpassungsmechanismen gehören eine gut entwickelte Schwimmfähigkeit durch eine dicke Fettschicht oder ein wasserundurchlässiges Gefieder. Beides dient auch demSchutz des Körpers vor Kälte.

Der bekannteste Bewohner der Antarktis ist der Pinguin. Als flugunfähiger Vogel lebt er auf dem Packeis und in den Meeren,die die Ant...

remote lakes by swimming thousands of kilometers up rivers from the Arctic Ocean. A few other species such as ringed seals and harbor seals have been found livingyear-round in lakes and rivers near the coasts of Russia, Canada, and Alaska. IV DIET OF SEALS Most seals eat fish and sometimes squid. The leopard seal, an Antarctic species, may have the most diverse diet of all, commonly hunting penguins and other seabirds,smaller seals, as well as fish, squid, krill (small shrimplike crustaceans),...

Antarctica - Geography.
The maximum area of sea ice surrounding Antarctica each winter varies from year to year. A marked decline during the 1970s appears to have reversed in more recentdecades, except in the Antarctic Peninsula area. This area has lost almost 40 percent of its sea ice since the start of the 1980s. Sea ice is important to marine life. Krillfeed on algae that live under the sea ice and are released when the ice melts in spring and summer. In turn, many marine animals feed on krill. Emperor penguinsbreed...

Crustáceos - ciencias de la naturaleza.
El cefalotórax suele tener apéndices, que se emplean en la locomoción y la respiración. El caparazón sirve a menudo como cubierta protectora de las branquias, que formanparte de las extremidades. Algunas extremidades pueden formar pinzas (quelas). Los apéndices abdominales pueden usarse para la locomoción, pero con frecuenciadesempeñan otras funciones, como la respiración, y tienden a tener un tamaño reducido. El telson, una parte de la cola en la que va el ano, se usa en algunas ocasionespara l...

Whale - biology.
III BEHAVIOR OF WHALES Studies of whales in captivity have taught scientists much about the complex social behavior of whales. Since the late 1980s, advances in the use of satellite trackingsystems have also broadened opportunities for scientists to observe how whales behave in the wild. A Swimming and Diving Whales swim by making powerful up-and-down movements of the tail flukes, which provide thrust. The power comes from body muscles that flex the lower spine upand down in a wavelike motion...
