Nature
Unknown
The shapeless dark hues of blue and violet in the distance sent Sarah’s imagination into overdrive visualising what could be lurking in the deep, watching. Rock formations in the distance, faintly illuminated by her dive torch played tricks on her mind. She would often run wild with her imagination on these deep dives she does for her research on sperm whales. Running with thoughts like if the coelacanths which were thought long extinct, aren’t, is there any other thought to be extinct species hiding down in the Gulf of Mexico?

IVORY ISLAND
This can’t be happening, I thought to myself. I looked around, and my entire canoe was surrounded by a pod of sharks. I felt like a small star in the vast sky, but I didn’t panic. Instead, I stopped paddling and lifted my paddle from the water. I looked over at Brian, my boyfriend, and he seemed petrified at the sharks that surrounded his canoe as well.

'We Weren't Always Extinct'
In 1993, I bought this landscape stone from an Arkansas woman selling crystals for$1/pound off a table by the side of the road. Oh, I bought some crystals too, but this chunk of extinct fossil seabed grabbed my attention. From the sound of it, her husband and their sons had collected it against her advice.

Connecting Uniqueness
The familiar crunch under her bare feet as she steps onto the high forest's pine covered floor. Both the feel of dry needles breaking beneath her weight and the sound hitting her ears like a comforting call of mother. The layers of years creating a comfortable, padded walkway that welcomes her visits. As she steps down the slight incline lined with rocks and young plants; the world behind her fades away and she crosses a washout ditch. A simple bridge of boards, one of many you can see as you gaze down the ditch in both directions. An old toy truck sits in the dirt below the bridge, giving hints of days when childhood filled the air. Stepping from the bridge and over the berm, she finds herself in a beautiful new world.

Animated Movies and The Great White Shark
Sharks in animated movies take on several roles. Often they are considered evil predators and enemies that must be defeated. They also act as rescuers in animated movies who must rescue there friends from the evil enemies of the world.

Amazon river
The origin of the world's largest river by volume is difficult to determine. Researchers and scientists have been debating since the mid-16th century about where the Amazon originated, but there are fewer than five rivers in southwestern Peru, and no one can provide a direct location every year. Body flow is complex and dynamic, and access to the Mississippi is at the center of the issue.

Antarctic ocean
Antarctic flows and twists normally stream unreservedly through Antarctica on the east-east side and go about as a boundary between warm air and northern waters. Conversely, the Atlantic Icy locale is available to warm waters from the south, similarly as the seas are streaming. This warm water enters the Icy and forestalls the development of ocean ice in the locale.

The Sharks of the Galápagos
The funny thing about getting off the airplane on the Galápagos Islands, is that it looks like you accidentally landed on Mars, not one of the most pristine marine ecosystems in the world. Everything is painted with orange and dust, and even the cacti look somewhat confused as to how they ended up here.
