Intro.. Draw... Poems.. Clowns (Amphiprion): small fish that coexist with anemones: and literally wallows on its fiery arms: thus they avoids the possibility of becoming foods for other fish: for which stinging cells means the deadly danger. Specific species of anemones have their own species of clowns.Pufferfish (Tetraodon): another smaller fish: which can swallow large amount of air or water: and thus increase their volume to grow into a sphere shape: which usually causes the attacker to scare and sail away. By the way: pufferfishies also include Fugu: which is consumed in some countries for its allegedly delicate taste . But this may not be true: because the fish has a large amount of deadly poison in their guts: which often fails to be completely eliminated in culinary preparation - so this whole thing can be a snobbish adrenaline sport only
Giant squid (Architeuthis leucas): the largest living cephalopod: growing to length about 10 meters: and often serves as a food for the sperm whales. As is known: the cephalopods are armed with suction cups: distributed on the tentacles - on sperm whales skin often appears the circular scars caused by these suction cups: and: by the relation between the size of cup: and the body size of octopus is claimed: that in depths are living giant squids: which have even more than 15 meters.
Seadevils (Lophiidae): deep-water fish: which got their name probably because: they have a very non-Polykleitos: to scary appearance. Presumably: all kinds of devils are endowed with a phosphorescent device that: even if they live in absolute darkness - not meant to shine. It serves to attract a trustful prey. Some devils have a long luminous horn on their heads: which resembles a rod: and also was caught the devil: which has this light right in the oral cavity. What an example of the most useful economy!
Nudibranch (Nudibranchia): the most beautiful slugs that was above mentioned. They don't have to be attractive to everyone: but they're definitely colorful: and very interesting. They're quite similar to common slugs without shells: but they have a lot of the sprig growths on their bodies: through which they breathe in the water. In these outer gills: they're able to store active stinging cells: derived from the anemones: by which they feed. If necessary: the slugs of course are burning. (I feel like: this is familiar to me: because: when I once touched a little classmate behind the gym: immediately the whole my body began to burn: and especially those slaps on my cheeks - it should was instantly clear to me - she only had eaten too many nettles: because: she was more than once at ease already)
Belugas (Delphinapterus leucas): the cetacean mammals: which are: in addition to those already mentioned: interesting because of they don't have a dorsal fin: and communicating by sound scale comprising: about forty voice manifestations: therefore: they're also called: the most talkative inhabitants of sea
Narwhales (Monodon monoceros): Like Belugas: they don't have a dorsal fin: and the pointed "horn" is actually an evolutionarily transformed incisor designed to piercing thick polar ice. Only males have it: so they can chivalrously to mediate the taking in a breath for females: or to take them to air a little bit
Photoblepharon: the fish: which relaxing over a day in the depths: and at night moving to the surface - for food - as well as the seadevils - they attracts a prey with the luminous organ. This light they have below the eyes - shaped to the form a semicircular corpuscle. But: using of such traps is always dicey. It may happen that hunter will attract something much bigger and more cunning: and becomes a prey on the contrary. Blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus): another whale: and the largest existing animal synchronously: and perhaps even the largest animal of all times. The female grows to more than thirty meters in length. Despite their size: these whales are very peaceable: what is more or less typical for all kinds of whales: even seems: that they suffer from strange depressions: which sometimes hounds them on shallow beaches: where they try to commit suicide persistently. Maybe it's related to their enlarged brain: and the high intelligence: which always signals that problems are coming: or: we shited the sea up to so much: that: they remembered from where they came from: and trying to return
Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae): One more whale: interesting with the sophisticated hunting strategy. Hunts for huge clouds of tiny silver fish: under which she floats inconspicuously: and begins to deflate bubbles from mouth: thousands of bubbles: until: come out of them a huge transparent net: into which: the whole cloud at once catches. Then: the whale will swallow them all at once. Surely it is quite mysterious: why the fish don't go out from the bubbles: although they can do so at any moment. (It reminds me pretty much one girl: who we loved in school faithfully - me and several boys - because her words: the laughter: and everything she released of her mouth - floated like pink bubbles around her: and exactly so - we idiots too - completely everyone - we were in this cloud of champagne like those stupid fish. And the fact: that: she was putting her hand on the face: everytime when she laughed - particularly that convicted her - because polar bears do it also - when they lurks for the prey - they cover up their black noses with paw: and squints from behind them: because everywhere else they're white as is known.)
Sea otter (Enhydra lutris): Although she belongs to a small and highly privileged group of living creatures: which can use tools - she has also really beautiful fur: so: she's slowly in extinction. She practically doesn't leave the sea: even when she sleeps: and gives birth to cubs. And because: like her mainland relatives: she is endowed with extraordinary intelligence: and likes to enjoy the titbits - she skillfully mastered to smash the hard packs of sea urchins: She'll dive for two stones: lie down on the back: and put one on her belly - then: using the second shatter the sea urchin. The inland otters makes water slides from mud: and gamboling together the whole days along. (I can't help myself: but it seems to me - given the surrounding general animalism and purposefulness - shockingly useless)
Pipefishes (Syngnathidae): The fish belonging to one family with sea horses. All kinds of family are typical by their special body shape. It gives them the privilege to disappear between seaweed: and not be: that way: on eyes the potential pretenders for their meat. Marbled electric ray (Torpedo marmorata): Putatively a primitive fish: which has in the body: as well as the eel(Electrophorus electricus): built-in electricity generation device - by which stuns the prey. All rays have a flat body shape: so they're - immediately after killing - suitable as the spoils beside the beds - or they can be used promptly - because of their practical rough skin - as the doormats in front of the door
Flounders (Pleuronectidae) The fish: that are symmetrical after hatching - hence they're spindle-shaped - like most other fish. But later: they start to put on one side: and undergo the mentioned morphological changes: so: as the adults: they're colored only on the upper part of the flattened body: while the lower is mostly white. They can adapt the color of upper part according to the bottom: on which they're resting.
Sargasso Sea Strange place in Atlantic Ocean. Huge algal colonies are floating there: hiding entire communities of unique creatures. Ones are hiding: because don't want to be found: another: because: don't want to be be seen: and some: just simply disappear. I think so: we still searching - where the eels are always lost - when they come here and make mating. They come: disappear: and after some time: progeny appears. Which - immediately after birth - get nervous and begins to prepare for an amazing: many thousand kilometers long: journey to the inland: which they'll soon undertake. Maybe - these little snakes - only do it for to be able to evaporate more efficiently after returning. By the way: the Sargasso Sea is adjacent with the Islands of Bermuda. Cuttlefish wide known octopus: which can instantly change colors and skin patterns: and she doesn't do it only: when she wants to merge with environment. She expresses her immediate mood: and emotional situations by own utter colors. Hence: in danger: she has the advantage to blend immediately with the surroundings - she can do it: even if she wants to be alone - and that's still not all - she may get lost in the ink cloud from eyes of intruders: and she also owns personal jet engine (tubular organ at the root of her arms) through which she can - in an instant - to shoot away by reverse.
Latimeria (Latimeria chalumnae) The only currently living representative of lobe- finned fish. When we try taxidermize her: she shows annoying unwillingness to cooperate: because as soon as we pulls her out from watter: she loses heavenly blue color: and turns it into a kind of an outrageous gray. (According to recent research: there are two living Latimeria species: but their reluctance to be taxidermized persists.) Back... Along.. More...
