Most likely will change project title, removing the evolution side of things and focus on the sensory organs and how they help the Great White become a successful predator.<br />

Local library was lacking so have requested a couple of books for inter-library exchange. Hopefully another library will have them.<br />

<br />
Both deamed as the must have reference books for Great Whites so fingers crossed I can get hold of them.Suzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00134037065227456328noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652302772252943640.post-78084409909328116462010-08-13T06:18:00.000-07:002010-08-30T07:01:40.222-07:00Bibliography Notes<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Few notes on where I'm getting my info from to make writing the bibliography a lot easier later on.</span></span><br />

I plan on doing a project on the Sensory Organs of the Great White Shark.<br />
<br />
First draft of title:<br />
<a href="http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Everyone%20Else/images-4/Great-White-Shark-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Everyone%20Else/images-4/Great-White-Shark-3.jpg" width="212" /></a>"How have the evolutionary adaptations of the Great White Shark's sensory organs aided it in becoming one of the world's most successful predators?"<br />
<br />
Planning on focusing on 3 main areas:<br />
1.Nostril Physiology<br />
2.The Lateral Line<br />
3.Ampullae of Lorenzini<br />
<br />
Will touch briefly on its lack of hearing.Suzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00134037065227456328noreply@blogger.com0
