All About Cute Animals – Series 2

Hello there!!! Here is another post of All About Animals. I think talking about marine animals is a fun topic. Ok, there are 7 stops to reach your destination.

Our first topic is ( drum roll, please ) Lion’s mane jellyfish, these Jelly fishes are amazing ( TRUST ME!!!) 

First fact: These Jelly fishes sting, their sting hurts just like if a Lion bites you. ( If you ever get  stung, don’t panic ) 

Second fact: These Jelly fishes are preyed upon by Sea turtles ( I can’t even believe that they are eaten by Sea turtles, the most harmless creatures in the ocean ) 

Third fact: The Jellyfishes live only 12 months. 

Our second stop is Leeches. Leeches drink blood and they look like Worms. I only have one word as a comment for those common facts, BORING!!! But here is what I got by reading books about Leeches. 

First fact: Leeches have 32 brains 

( Amazing!!! So, amazing that I could burst ) 

Second fact: They have 300 teeth. 

Third fact: Leeches breathe through skin. 

Our third stop is Angel fish.

 First fact: Predators of these wonderful creatures are large fishes, Sharks and Barracudas 

( I’ve always hated barracudas ) 

Second fact: Angelfish are omnivores. 

Third fact: Angel fishes can recognize their owners for months and years ( Cool right???!!!???) 

Our fourth stop is kind of not my favorite, I am talking about Barracudas. 

First fact: Great Barracudas can swim at speeds up to 36 mph (58 kph) 

Second fact: Great Barracudas’ upper sides can have up to 23 dark bars. 

Third fact: Great Barracudas can grow to more than 5 feet long and weigh more than 100 pounds. 

Our fifth stop is all about SHARKS!!! 

First fact: Sharks do not have bones. 

Second fact: Scientists age Sharks by counting the rings on their vertebrae. 

Third fact: Shark skin feels similar to sandpaper. 

And this is our sixth stop, I think y’all will like it, the Blue whale. 

First fact: They can weigh as much as 30 Elephants. 

Second fact: They have gigantic tongues.  

Third fact: These big animals have a big heart 

( awww…) 

Our last one, it is amazing, it is a Fin whale. It might sound boring but, these animals are so cool, your tiny minds could explode.

 First fact: Fin whales can live for 80 to 90 years. 

Second fact: Fin whales have accordion-like throats that help them gulp up to 4,000 pounds (1.8 metric tons) of food a day.
