Welcome to my page
Welcome to my Wikipedia user page. Have fun!

If you are reading this, you are probably involved or interested in the WP:APBIO project. If you would like to contribute to our topic, please use the talk page. We are all new to this and any help would be appreciated.

Tentacled flathead
The tentacled flathead (Papilloculiceps longiceps) is a species of marine fish belonging to the flathead family, Platycephalidae. It is found in the western Indian Ocean, including the Red Sea, and also in the Mediterranean Sea, probably as a result of migration through the Suez Canal. The tentacled flathead is a well camouflaged, ambush predator of fish and crustaceans, living near coral reefs on sand or rubble substrates at depths of up to 15 metres (49 feet). The species has an elongate body, with a maximum published length of 70 centimetres (28 inches), although 50 centimetres (20 inches) is more typical. It has a depressed head with five prominent nuchal spines, ridges on its operculum and preoperculum, a spine on the rear of the suborbital ridge, and smaller spines elsewhere. The body is mottled brownish or greenish dorsally, and whitish ventrally. There are three or four dark bands on the caudal fin, and the other fins are marked with large, dark blotches. This tentacled flathead was photographed in the Red Sea in Ras Muhammad National Park, off the southern coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Why am I here?
I'm here because I want to be here. Why else?

My main reason for creating this fabulous user page, and for joining the Wikipedia community is because of school. This year, my AP Biology Class has been assigned the seemingly impossible task of promoting a stub article to good article or (hopefully) featured article status. In groups of three, we will select an article and edit it to improve it's quality.

About Me
See userboxes.

Hmm, what can I say about myself? First, what you probably know just from looking at this page, I have a slight knowledge of html, photo editing, and computers in general. You could say technology is an interest of mine, however it is not the only thing I do. I am also very interested in music. I play many instruments, but mainly the horn and piano. I actually enjoy marching band, something not many people can say. I look forward to band everyday, and spend most of my free time working on something related to it. Basically, am the stereotypical "band geek," but I prefer to think of myself as a musically inclined individual.

My Group and Our Topic Why We Chose This Topic

Hypertrichosis

Rationale: We chose this to differ from others in our class. This seems to be a very interesting medical condition, and not much is known about it. There is no recent activity on the article or talk pages. Our group is interested in the field of medicine as well.
