Frogfish

Frogfish are sea animals that can change color and they look like coral, so when a fish is passing by, their jaw shoots out in a millisecond bite.  It has a lure on its head to lure in fish, so the fish comes closer for it to grab with its mouth.

Zebras

Zebras are covered in stripes because when predators look at them for a very long time, the zebra starts to get blurry and hard to see.  So it is hard for the lion to see the zebra.

                                    

Ice worms

Ice worms live in ice.  If they get to be over 40 degrees they will melt.

Hippopotamuses

A baby hippopotamus can weigh 500 pounds in one month.

Lions

Lions are at the top of the food chain.  Lions will eat pretty much everything that they can get to.  They'll even try to eat cheetahs.

Cheetahs

Maybe you think cheetahs are the fastest ever.  But that's a different blog post.  We are talking about cheetahs.  Cheetahs cannot run forever.  They have to take stops.  Cheetahs are endangered just because of their patterns.  People kill them and take off the skin and use it for scarves and jackets.  Cheetahs also fight each other.  Their favorite food is gazelles and antelopes.  Lions are their main predators.

Sea Otters

Sea Otters
Do sea otters get wet?  No.  Their fur is like a fur coat.  Their nerves are under their fur.  How sea otters feel and touch things is their hands have webbed fingers.  And their hands are not covered in fur.  So sea otters can touch clams and other animals that they eat.

A sea otter can dive for five minutes.

Do sea otters have predators?  Yes, they do.  Sharks and seals.

Sometimes sea otters go to sleep on kelp so that they won't float away, but some of the things that they eat, also eat the kelp, which causes them to float away.
