The World of the Sea
The World of the Sea
Imagine an animal that has ten eyes, ten arms that shoot poison, and a
body made of jelly! There really is such an animal. It’s called a
jellyfish and it lives in the sea.
The sea is filled with animals. It’s the home of the frogfish and the
eight-armed octopus. It’s the home of the flying fish and the conch—a
giant snail with a claw and a huge, twisted shell.
The sea is the home of animals that swim and float and creep, and of
animals that fasten themselves down and never move again. It is the home
of some of the tiniest of all animals and of the biggest animal that has
ever lived.
The sea is a beautiful place. And it’s a frightening place. It’s a
wonderland and a fairyland. It’s another world!
