There are millions of plants and 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 Artic but swims south to the
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, are 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.
