What are facts about Black Dragonfish?

A Black Dragonfish is a very long, very thin fish that lives in deep water and will go as low in the water as about 2 thousand feet.

They are at home in the depths of the ocean and will spend their entire lives there, without surfacing much closer than a thousand feet below the surface.

The female has very tiny eyes and extremely long fangs which are used for catching their prey. They will feed primarily on other fishes and may bait them in by the use of lights which they have all over their bodies.

The Black Dragonfish has a very unique ability. Like a lot of fish who live in the deep ocean or sea, it can make its own headlight.

The fish has what are called photophores scattered all along its body, and has two rows of much larger lights down its sides to help it light its way to where its going.

The male is much smaller, in fact about one tenth the size of the female. It has no teeth, no long chin barbell and has a non working gut.

Instead of being black, it is very dark brown to dull brown in color. The chin barbel of the female has a very thin luminous light up tip. This is most likely part of the bait that is used to attract prey.

Are humans the only living things that use tools?

No, humans are not the only living things that use tools. Other animals such as chimpanzees, dolphins, and birds have been observed using tools to aid in tasks like foraging for food or building nests.

Can you ride a 50cc Moped with two below knee prosthetics legs if you can walk fine?

I don't know what a 50cc moped is, but with two bk prosthetic (not prosthetics) legs, you can do just about anything you fancy, icesskating piruettes for instance, but if you walk fine you should be prepared to pay the fine.

I woould appreciate a discussion on prosthetics.

Is An oxbow lake is a form of braided stream?

No, an oxbow lake is not a form of a braided stream. An oxbow lake is a crescent-shaped lake formed when a meandering river creates a cutoff, leaving behind a body of water isolated from the main river channel. In contrast, a braided stream consists of multiple interwoven channels that split and merge around sediment bars, often found in places with high sediment load and variable flow. Thus, the two are distinct features with different formation processes.

What other hominids were with the australopithecus boisei?

Australopithecus boisei lived alongside other hominids such as Paranthropus robustus and early Homo species like Homo habilis. They all coexisted in East Africa during the early Pleistocene epoch.

What hominid lived 5.2-5.8 million years ago?

No hominids had evolved 5.2 million years ago. The first known hominid was H. habilis, and they existed about 3 million years ago.

Our ancestors that were alive between 5.2 and 5.8 million years ago were the Ardipethicus genus, which lived in the rainforest, walked bipedally, and had an opposable big toe.

Is a Black dragonfish dangerous?

A black dragon fish is considered to be one of the most dangerous predators in the ocean. This creature can go undetected by its prey due to its color. It has the capability to use light making mechanisms that run along its body structure to attract its prey.

Did scientist believe that dolphins once had arms and legs and lived on land over 50 million years ago?

Yes, scientists believe that dolphins, along with other cetaceans, evolved from land-dwelling ancestors that had limbs resembling arms and legs. This evolutionary transition occurred over approximately 50 million years, as these animals adapted to life in the water. Fossil evidence supports the idea that early cetaceans had features suitable for both land and aquatic environments before fully adapting to marine life.

How do you make lockpicking tools?

Simple pidks for mortice locks can be made by just bending lengths of wire coathanger. More complex tools for mortice locks such as overlifters require more precision engineering. Simple pick tools for rim-type locks are usually made out of 1.5mm - 2mm sprung steel sheet, so can be made with an amount of metal and some files. (common useful shapes include ball end and double ball end (for wafer locks), half diamond and hook (for rim, and euro- and oval- barrel) and a rake. You'll also need a tensioner.

It is possible to make the second kind out of hairpins, paperclips, etc, but as a beginner, you'll have a more difficult job using them than you would have using something better made.

Why are ferns that lived millions of years ago still important to us today?

Ferns were the dominant form of vegetation during the Carboniferous Period about 300 million years ago. They were much larger than ferns growing today, some reaching a height of 24 meters (80 feet). Much of the world's supply of coal, oil, and gas formed from the remains of ancient ferns that were slowly buried under layers of sediment.
