Barracudas are fierce predators as seen in “Finding Nemo” – but they usually aren't interested in attacking humans. Featuring one amazing marine animal per week. The barracuda (genus Sphyraena) is a fierce predator with an appetite for coral reef fish.
One day, Coral revealed that she would love a home with an ocean view, so the devoted Marlin managed to get her a much-prized anemone at the drop-off—with a view of the whole ocean. She along with most of her eggs were apparently eaten by the Barracuda.
Another really popular character from the movie, Gill is a Moorish idol which is often mistakenly identified as a butterflyfish, angelfish, bannerfish, or pennant fish, which appear in similar colors.
As we mentioned, Anchor is a great hammerhead shark, one of the largest species in the world. Of all the nine species of hammerhead, the great hammerhead is the largest of all, reaching up to 20 feet long!
The speartooth shark (Glyphis glyphis) is one of the rarest shark species on earth, found only in tropical rivers in New Guinea and northern Australia. The speartooth shark is not targeted by fisheries for its meat or fins, but it may be accidentally caught in fishing nets as by-catch.
Kraken is a hybrid cephalopod-shark. Its big mouth is surrounded by fierce tentacles that will get enemies into a lot of trouble. Kraken will change colours when detecting the presence of enemy sharks. While boosting, it will take the shape of a giant drill that smashes everything.
The protagonist, Nemo, displays a small, or "deformed," fin that is a congenital result of a fatal attack on his mother and sibling eggs—a corporeal characteristic that the story surrounds, yet does not drown in.
Alexander Gould as Nemo, Marlin's only surviving son, who is excited about life and exploring the ocean, but gets captured and domesticated as a pet. Willem Dafoe as Gill, a scarred moorish idol fish living in an aquarium in Philip Sherman's dentistry clinic, and the leader of the Tank Gang.
QBI researcher Dr Fabio Cortesi said the Great Barrier Reef anemonefish was basically Nemo's cousin. “We looked at everything starting with the genes they use to see and what proteins they express, and in combination with anatomical data, predicted what these anemonefish can see,” he said.
In the film 'Finding Nemo', the character 'Gill' is a Moorish Idol. He has some pretty bad scarring, which he got from landing on dentist tools when he tried to escape one time. Fish do scar if they are damaged like that, though dentist tools are not usually found near fish tanks!
Dory, the small blue fish with a bad memory from the "Finding Nemo" franchise, is a blue tang, or a Paracanthurus hepatus in scientific terms. Native to the Indo-Pacific and found in coral reefs, these fish weigh around one pound and are generally 10 to 12 inches long, according to National Geographic.
He is an eagle ray who believes in the practical, taking his little fishy pupils for a ride on his back to teach them about the other creatures of the seabed and singing a whole bunch of memory-aiding ditties along the way.
That's right, we're talking about the opening scene in the movie, where a giant barracuda attacks the home of Nemo's dad, Marlin, and ends up eating Nemo's mom and all of his future brothers and sisters. It's heartbreaking, tragic and a reminder to why Marlin is so protective over his only son, Nemo.
Parents guide: Possibly frightening scenes: This movie definitely has some tense moments for little kids. The opening scene where the barracuda attacks Marlin's family is one you might not want to show the youngest of kids. Even the scene where Nemo gets captured might scare sensitive viewers.
What is a barracuda? Barracuda have a formidable reputation as ruthless predators—even depicted in Disney Pixar's Finding Nemo as the merciless villain that kills Nemo's mother.
Nemo hatches as an undifferentiated hermaphrodite (as all clownfish are born) while his father transforms into a female now that his female mate is dead. Since Nemo is the only other clownfish around, he becomes a male and mates with his father (who is now a female).
Dory is the third female protagonist in a Pixar film, the first two being Merida and Joy. She is also Pixar's third titular character, the first two being Nemo and WALL-E, and the second titular character to be a protagonist overall, the first one being WALL-E.
Neither Hank nor Marlin actually are 'lovers' of Dory. They are just good friends. Considering the amount of time Dory spent with each of them, and the things they did together, I think Dory would've held Hank in admiration for helping her get back to her parents.
It's quite obvious that Dory has anterograde amnesia, which is the inability to form new memories. I also see many of the signs of ADHD within the character.
The cooling of the planet may have contributed to the extinction of the megalodon in a number of ways. As the adult sharks were dependent on tropical waters, the drop in ocean temperatures likely resulted in a significant loss of habitat.
To defeat the Kraken, enough tentacles must be destroyed depending on ship type, with larger ships requiring more damage to destroy a tentacle and more tentacles destroyed to complete the event. If the crew can survive long enough the Kraken will also retreat.
Although fictional and the subject of myth, the legend of the Kraken continues to the present day, with numerous references in film, literature, television, and other popular culture topics.
