Topic Fun : Junior Marine Biology

Marine Biology

Kia readers,

Today I will be sharing some Marine Biology from this site sixsenses.com it told me so fascinating stuff about the ocean.


Coral

Coral can come in many colours the colours are form algae that sinks in the coral. Corals are actually animals they breath they eat. Coral eat tiny little animals called zooplankton.
 Coral reefs could vanish by 2100. Before-and-after photos show it ...



FACTS

  1.  Sunblock can kill coral  
  2. If one coral dies that is in a big reef of corals all may die
  3. The most rarest coral colour is Angel Skin Coral
  4. Corals were used as rocks for houses on some islands 

Manta rays 

This section of my blog is about manta rays.

manta rays are flat but weighted sea creatures but the have a small long tail witch is not like there cousins tails sting rays have stinging tails and manta ray tails don't do anything. Manta rays are one of the most largest fish in the world.


FACTS
  1. Manta rays are cousins to sting rays but don't have a stinger
  2. You can tell which breed a manta ray is by looking at the spots on the bottoms of them and by looking at this link
  3. A manta rays mouth can get up to 29 feet


That's all I learned from the videos off of sixsenses.com junior-marine-biology and from google. I hope you learned something from my blog post.

  1. Hi Sonnie,
    What a great site!
    Did you know that coral is an animal? I learned that manta rays don't have a stinger.
    I went looking for the fact about the manta's mouth size, as they are only about 3m in size?
    I loved that they had given them interesting names! :) Good fact finding.

  2. What an informative blog Sonnie.
    I love learning about animals and their habitat.A mantra ray has a very big mouth!If I was food that it liked to eat,I could fit in it's mouth...that's amazing.(I think that is something I will need to check up on.)I think the length of the manta ray is 29 feet,not it's mouth.
    Well done for posting your work.It is always a pleasure looking at your blog.
