Choose unusual or striking species Irrawaddy Dolphin (Orcaella Brevirostris) The Irrawaddy dolphin is a rare species of dolphin, since it has different characteristics from a common one, the first and the most differentiating is its rounded head, since they lack a beak compared to others. His small mouth makes him look like he is smiling. Its long neck gives them the ability to be more flexible when swimming, This type of dolphin gets a color between dark blue and light gray are distinguished most of its connoisseurs identify them by this type of coloration. | chose this species, since my attention is very different because a species that looks so similar to them, | discovered that boats, fishermen, boats, etc. are very shy. Its habitat, according to fresh water, is moreover not a freshwater dolphin, it only spends more time on the coasts where it usually lives,“We eer TECMILENIO. Reporte It is a species that has a very slow type of swimming since it dives deeply when it starts to sway, its mouth can have a total of up to 36 teeth at the bottom and 40 at the top, its species is reaching an extinction point , since now their numbers of groups in their species have decreased dramatically, so in this evidence | will explain that they are constituted, how they feed, how they develop, their characteristics and will identify some aspects seen in this module of life sciences. 2.

Find information about the food chain of that ecosystem (locate at least five links (organisms) that are directly related to the target species and explain the place that the species occupy in the food chain. (e.g. Producer, primary, secondary or tertiary consumer) The Irrawaddy dolphin is a carnivorous secondary consumer: Since normally this type of camivores eat producers who are the only ones capable of manufacturing their own food as plankton in the case of this dolphin, but being secondary does not take away from them being able to feed on others animals of shrimp, fish, crustaceans and octopus. The most commonly consumed is the squid, Mostly they have the option of being able to feed on larger animals or children in front of it They hunt their food, if they need it to be able to survive and be well for a predetermined time, since they chase their prey individually without relying on another partner, shake their tail slowly to be precise when hunting.“We eer TECMILENIO. Reporte 4. Answer the following with respect to the selected species in a clear and complete way. Include two references in APA format that will support you to respond. e. Describe the importance of the species in their environment, The importance of the Irrawaddy dolphin in its environment is that they mainly live in coastal areas of fresh water, and also in deep waters, but nevertheless they are unprotected from some human activities such as: fishing nets, grab nets, the latter are more lethal than a common one They cannot be in totally salty waters because in those parts where they are normally found they are not murky, muddy and brackish waters unlike the coastal ones where mostly if they have all these aspects for that reason it is important that you live like the Irawadi river for which | take its name, do not disappear, but today most countries restrict these animals to live in fresh water such as: India, Thailand, Chilka and Songhkla since they do not consider it as a species that needs it to not die.

Explain whether climate change or any environmental issue threatens their reproduction. This type of species has the peculiarity that it does not have a defined environment such as salt or fresh water, therefore, the only way that a climate change affects their way of life, is if the temperature of these seas falls very drastically since their habitat type is usually murky waters, therefore the Irrawaddy dolphin has a more dangerous threat, that we are humans, due to the fact that being on the coast where many people as fishermen do their jobs and leave fishing nets where they They swim, begin to get tangled up and“We eer TECMILENIO. Reporte being very slow has no escape and die. As today according to research such as this reference, only 1000 species are found on average in the world, since most of this species is so accidentally caught and lately its population has not grown during these last years.

How would the loss of the species from their habitat affect humans? |t would affect the food chain in which he is constituted, generating an imbalance to the other animals that would also die or seek another means of feeding, but would not reach this degree, therefore we humans know this type of dolphin, since they are very outgoing when connecting with humans in aquariums, since it is an easy species to maintain since it does not have a defined habitat such as fresh or salt water, so its impact would be not knowing this species that is very appreciable to see in these establishments, we also would not know how they are living, developing during their birth and feeding, since this dolphin is well known for entertaining its spectators for its easy training when teaching something new.

Reporte 5, Include a conclusion of the work, where you can clearly describe what you've learned and the purpose of it. In this evidence | could apply different concepts which | learned during the reading of the topics of module 1, since today there are too many biomolecules and bioelements that exist within living beings, in order to help them exercise different characteristics that allow us to live in harmony, in the branches of biology it encompasses many things which study different aptitudes and functions depending on their branches, since | before all the module did not understand that we were constituted and how we could generate energy, through the nutrients that We acquired, since this has a process to be able to create them, all these learnings identify them in the Irrawaddy dolphin, which is a not well known species which, | had to break down its biomolecules and bioelements with their respective functionalities, since they are not same as those of a human being, with this activity | could feed back from different branches which have ap licque to look for its characteristics and definitions of this species, also that it supports me with sources of information that explained to me in detail its investigations carried out on this species.
