Speciation project
Storyboard Text
- Located in the Indian ocean these octopus are searching for their next meal 300ft under water.
- Finally after closing the distance between the prey and themselves they are able to capture and eat the prey.
- A large Tsunami sweeps the Indian ocean and forcefully transports the octopus over to the Atlantic Ocean where depth levels are much higher.
- Due to the higher depth of the atlantic the fish native to the water reside in much deeper levels making it tougher for the octopus to hunt for food as 300ft is the deepest they have gone and getting food means they have to dive 200 ft deeper.
- In an attempt to survive the octopus make an effort to dive deeper and capture their prey. Unfortunately 2 of the 3 octopus collapsed and died under the intense water pressure indicating a major struggle they face in the new environment.
- As time passes by the pressure of natural selection transforms the octopus in many different ways that all aid in the survival of the species under the new environment and circumstances in which they were forcefully placed.
- despite the increased success rates of the hunts orchestrated by the octopus because of the new adaptations the species still has not yet fully adapted the necessary body structure to effectively survive as depicted in the image
- The image shows that the new species have developed larger eyes to see better underwater and thinner muscles so they can withstand the increased water pressure when they dive deeper down for food.
