The world
of fish
A pufferfish sucks
in water to swell
its body.
Swim for my supper
Sea creatures such as the leatherback turtle
will travel thousands of miles in search of
jellyfish. If the food doesn’t come to you,
you have to go and find it!
It's a production line
Many sea creatures produce
hundreds or even thousands of
eggs to ensure some will survive.
Turtles will lay 100 eggs at once,
while a velvet crab may produce
180,000 eggs!
The BIG escape!
If threatened, a pufferfish may
blow itself up with water to
stop it being swallowed by a
predator, but most predators
know to avoid these
highly toxic fish.
The lion's mane
jellyfish is one
of the largest of
all jellyfish.
