What is the sea anemones predators?

The sea star's predators are birds, otters, and humans. This is according to http://library.thinkquest.org/J001418/star.html. Sea Stars (like Solaster dawsoni) also prey on other species of sea stars (like Pycnopodia helianthoides).


Why turtles die early?

Turtles lay their eggs and bury them in sand on a beach. When the hatchlings emerge from the eggs and dig themselves out, their instinct is to head down the beach to the sea. Unfortunately, many predators (gulls, foxes, etc) are waiting to snatch them up and eat them. Even when they reach the sea, predators (sharks, seals, etc) are waiting off shore. By laying thousands of eggs during the same time period, hatching all together, by sheer mass of numbers, at least some will survive to adulthood - enough to perpetrate the species.


Why do birds avoid animals with large eyes?

Birds may avoid animals with large eyes because they could be perceived as potential predators or threats. The presence of large eyes might signal alertness or aggressiveness, leading birds to view them as a potential danger. Additionally, birds may have evolved to avoid animals with large eyes as a survival strategy to reduce the risk of being attacked or eaten.

Could dinosaurs walk immediately after hatching from an egg?

Yes, many dinosaur species, particularly theropods like modern birds, were likely precocial, meaning they could walk shortly after hatching. Fossil evidence suggests that some young dinosaurs were well-developed and capable of moving around to evade predators or find food soon after emerging from their eggs. However, the level of development at hatching varied among different dinosaur species, with some requiring more parental care and time to mature before becoming mobile.

Why might a calm water in the bay be a good place for turtles to be basking?

Calm water in the bay provides a safe and stable environment for turtles to bask, as it reduces the risk of strong currents and waves that could disturb them. The warm, shallow water allows turtles to soak up the sun's heat, which is essential for regulating their body temperature and promoting digestion. Additionally, a calm setting minimizes threats from predators, making it an ideal spot for turtles to relax and recharge.

If turtles turn on their backs do they die?

No, turtles do not necessarily die if they are turned on their backs. However, they may struggle to right themselves, which could put them at risk in certain situations such as extreme weather or if predators are present. It is important to help the turtle if you come across one in this situation.
