There are millions of plants snd animals living in the sea. Most of the plants and animals living in the
oceans are extremely small and float near the surface of the water in their thousands. They are food
for huge numbers of small animals that also live near the surface. Together, they are all known as
plankton.
Many fish feed on this plankton, including one of the largest, the whale shark. Despite their great
size, certain whales live entirely on plankton.
The blue whale is the largest animal ever to live. It grows to a length of over 100 feet. The humpback
whale is a smaller kind and has long flippers. It can jump right out the water. The Californian grey
whale makes long migrations every year - it spends the summer feeding in the Arctic but swims
south to he warmer waters off the coast of Mexico in the winter. The females give birth in the
shallow, warm water there.
Many of the fish in the sea may be eaten by other meat-eaters. Sharks, for example, area some of
the fastest hunters, although not all of them eat other fish. Deep down in the oceans live many
strange fish. It is so dark down there that many of these fish have "light" on them, which are used
for attracting smaller fish for the larger ones to eat.
Jellyfish are peculiar-looking creatures ranging in size from a fraction of an inch to 6 feet across. They
don't really swim but drift in the currents of the open oceans. Although they contain a powerful
sting, they are often eaten by turtles. Turtles are reptiles that spend most of their eggs on sandy
beaches.
