Do you know what the komodo dragon is? If you answered a lizard you’d be right but the best answer is the king of all reptiles. The komodo dragon is a hostile lizard creature that even though it may seem weak is very powerful with its jaws that can kill huge mammals like water buffalo and can walk up to 7 miles but they usually want to stay close to their homes. There are times when a male finally comes out from its home to mate with another female. The females release a scent so that the male knows where the female is. Occasionally there is a competition between males for a female so the only way to settle this is to fight. They throw each other down and tussle with each other and they even draw blood from the other if they fight really hard. Whoever wins gets to mate with a female, the male rubs his chin on her head and licks her, if the female has interest she licks him back. Then the male grabs her with his claws and they lift their tails and then they mate.

Sometimes when needed a larger male komodo will eat a smaller younger male. So the young ones usually roll in their poo and guts from other animals that males are mentally programmed to avoid, they use this to avoid that situation. There is a social hierarchy when food is hunted or found the first ones to go are the bigger older males then the ones who follow are the younger and then the females and then finally the juveniles come and eat what remains.

I motion for the troop to stop with my hand. They obey, because I am the Silverback who they have selected to lead the troop, make the decisions, and defend everyone. I motion again to let them know that this is where we will sleep tonight. The others then go to collect pine needles and leaves to make beds for themselves. As I begin to make a bed for myself, I hear a scream behind me. I turn and see that two of the young have begun to fight. They don’t look angry, so I know that this is probably play-fighting. The others are sitting nearby, laughing and pointing. Only their mothers look worried. I decide to let them keep going but then one of them hits a little too hard and the other one gets angry and hits hard back. This isn’t play-fighting anymore! I get closer and grunt as a warning but they don’t stop. This is going to have to get physical. I step in, grab them both and hold them away from each other. They stop, but not without some injuries. I see them walk to their mothers, who embrace, hold hands, and touch noses to comfort them. I may have stopped them for now, but before long they’ll start up again and I’ll have to save them from themselves again. 

       For now though, we gather some food and split it up among everyone. As the children run around and play, the adults finish their food, belch in contentment, and begin to sing. They aren’t that good, but they don’t have to be. As we get ready for bed, I see a younger male on the outskirts of the troop, not interacting with anyone. I assume he is going to leave our troop and find a new one soon. Or maybe start one. Anyways, I’m tired so I walk over to my nest and lay down. A young child walks over and lays in my nest with me. I let him, because unfortunately his mother died recently and it’s my job to take care of everyone.

        In the morning I move to motion with my hand for everyone to follow me but I am suddenly hit from the side. A male Silverback has decided that he wants to lead the troop! I get on my hind legs, beat my chest with my hands, and shout as a warning. He runs at me and bites my shoulder. I step back and grab at something, anything to throw, but there is nothing there. He’s on me again, and I know I’ve lost. As I lay on the ground, I watch as the new Silverback attacks my children just to eradicate everything to do with me. Finally, my eyes dim, and I let them close.

The delightful blue whale shares the ocean with its own friends and everyone else. Its heart is so big that it's the size of a suv. They rule the oceans with their strength. Whales may fight for food but there is usually enough food for all. When a blue whale gets scared it stays close to other blue whales in groups but when a bottlenose dolphin comes in its way. The bottlenose dolphin is like a snack for the blue whale. Another way a blue whale asks for help when feeling threatened is they make loud noises and moan. They also leap out of the water and land with a noisy splash. The blue whale is so strong that the splash causes big waves moving more than 20km an hour. This particular wave caused by the blue whale can keep creatures like the bottlenose dolphin away from it being harmed. The bottlenose dolphin will be blown away like a feather floating the everlasting blue bright waters of this world. If a bottlenose dolphin gets hurt by another creature, its own species will hunt the predators. If a blue whale was the predator they would have no chance of destroying its 341,400 pounds but instead get eaten up by it. The blue whale is so big and strong it doesn't need its own members around it to survive. To sum up everything that has been stated so far the bottlenose dolphin is nothing compared to a blue whale. The blue whale is the far more engaging to talk about and more superb particular reason for this circumstance, its the largest most heaviest animal in the world. It is the king of the seas and a bottlenose dolphin prays it doesn't come near itself. 

Bottlenose dolphins are some intelligent animals, actually one of the most intelligent animals in the world. Ok maybe I should stop praising my species so much but it’s true! We live together in groups, which are referred to as pods. Now we don’t just live together randomly, there are reasons behind it. The females usually keep their calves with them in their group for 3-5 years after they are born and during these times they teach them various different things. We also stick together to be more secure from predators. Bottlenose dolphins have echolocation, which is a detection system using sound, and we use this to alert members of our pod about a prey nearby or alert our members about predators nearby. However fights also occur inside our pods, why? It’s usually because of hierarchy within a pod or access to females, now this is definitely the most entertaining part for me. Male dolphins trying to maintain or establish dominance is usually quite violent, they bite each other, scratch each other with their teeth and even body slam.
