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.
Third fact: Fin whales are the fastest of all great whales capable of swimming up to 23 miles per hour (37 kmph).
