The Vancouver aquarium came to visit our school and showed us lots of cool species, one of my favorite section was when daphne(my group instructor) showed the orca whale’s jaw. She held it beside my ear and taped the ear hole and we could hear her tapping wit her finger, it was really interesting because when you look at their head you don’t see their ear. It’s actually right at the tip of their chin that when they meet a friendly dolphin they communicate with clicking noises and he/she communicates by attracting the sound to make it travel through their hole and into their eardrum. I though they didn’t have ears at all, but it’s right beside their eyes and I think they’re really cool mammals.

Something else they showed us was the arctic fox, the arctic fox is a really funny animal because in the spring all of their furs will shed and they’ll look like this.they do that so they like take off their winter coat when it’s spring and summer moreover Arctic foxes generally eat any small animal they can find, including lemmings, voles, other rodents, hares, birds, eggs, fish, and carrion. They scavenge on carcasses left by larger predators such as wolves and polar bears, and in times of scarcity even eat their feces. It is sort of a diet they eat to stay in shape.
