About These Sea Creatures

Here are some fun facts about these sea creatures you can share with your kids:

• Sharks are gray or blue, fearsome, predators of the sea. They are known for their sharp teeth and danger to humans.
• Dolphins are known for being highly intelligent and social creatures – in fact, they’re considered to be some of the most intelligent creatures besides humans.
• Octopuses hang out in coral reefs. They are mostly reddish-brown or gray and known for their eight tentacles, which is where “octo” in their name comes from.
• Whales are mostly gray or blue and known for their massive size, gentle demeanor, and ability to swim enormous distances around the world’s oceans.
• Eels can be found in freshwater and marine environments worldwide, who look a bit like snakes of the sea.
• Starfish can be found in oceans worldwide, especially on the seabed, and come in a range of beautiful colors. Their official name is actually “sea stars”.
• Corals can be found in warm, shallow ocean waters worldwide, and are actually animals, not plants. They are known for their beautiful colors and are known for their reef-building skills.
• Orcas are a type of whale that hangs out in colder waters. They are mostly black and white and known for their hunting skills – even though they look cute, they’re actually the most dangerous of whales.
• Stingrays can be found in tropical and subtropical coastal waters with flat bodies. They look like manta rays but are much smaller.
• Shrimp are mostly pink or translucent and known for their main purpose to humans – food!
• Jellyfish are mostly translucent or blue and known for their cute tentacles and abilities to live for a very very long time.
• Clownfish are fish that hang out in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are mostly orange and white and known because they are the species of Nemo in Finding Nemo.
• Squids are big gray or pink creatures that can swim very deep into ocean trenches, and are known for their tentacles.
• Crabs are mostly red or brown animals that hang out in rocks and reefs, and are known for their funny side-walking abilities (oh, and the fact we eat them!).
• Manta rays can be found in tropical and subtropical ocean waters and are much like stingrays, but much larger.
