Swimming Sea Turtle!
At Fort Fisher Aquarium, I viewed many different aquatic animals. There was one thing that caught my eye; it was the sea turtle. This sea turtle was in a large tank with many other large fishes. The sea turtle was swimming around and playing in the air bubbles. I was on a lab field trip and we were supposed to document the locomotion types of the animals. The sea turtle uses its flippers to lift itself through the water column. As I was in the aquarium I thought about the niche of this sea turtle and a niche of a sea turtle in the wild. I knew it had to be different. Animals in captivity are not exposed to certain dangers or environmental stress that animals would encounter in the wild.
