We are going to learn about the bluefin tuna. Bluefin tuna are an ocean-going fish that grow up to 10 feet long and can weigh as much as 1,200 pounds. Unlike almost all fish, bluefin tuna are warm-blooded and able to regulate their body temperature, which helps during their epic journeys across the Atlantic. They have big FINS and SCALES. Bluefin tuna are top ocean predators and sometimes hunt cooperatively, much like wolves. With streamlined bodies and retractable fins, bluefin can bolt through the water at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour and are capable of crossing oceans in the course of only a few weeks.

Prized as a high-value dish at sushi restaurants, bluefin are being push toward extinction by decades of overfishing. So they will become extinct in the near future.

2024-02-01 16:32:34 UTC

The plumage of adult specimens is very dark brown throughout the body, except on the shoulders and the upper part of the wings, where it is brown dotted with white feathers. The nape is slightly paler than other parts of the body, and the tail is darker, without light bands or white lines as in the eastern imperial eagle. In the case of juvenile individuals, less than one year old, the color is between brown and reddish, changing to a more or less homogeneous straw yellow color in their second year of life, throughout the second and third years. of life, the specimens adopt plumage phases known as checkerboard, in which the yellowish color is interspersed with increasingly numerous dark brown and black feathers, in the subadult plumage, which appears between the fourth and fifth year. A clear predominance of dark brown is already observed, although still intermixed with lighter colored feathers, reaching the plumage of mature individuals.
