Fish are water-dwelling animals with over 33,000 species found in freshwater, saltwater, and brackish water. They come in different shapes and sizes, from tiny, see-through minnows to huge sharks that can grow up to 40 feet long. Fish have gills to breathe underwater and scales that protect them from predators and help them move quickly. Their streamlined body shape reduces drag and helps them swim fast.
Fish are cold-blooded animals, which means their body temperature changes with the environment. They are ectothermic, which means they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature.
Dolphins, sharks, and whales are fascinating creatures of the sea. Dolphins are smart and social animals, often seen playing and communicating with their distinctive clicks and whistles. Sharks are known as fierce predators, but many are peaceful and important for the ocean’s balance. Whales are the biggest mammals on Earth, and their majestic presence and songs captivate people’s imaginations. These gentle giants travel long distances in the ocean, and scientists study their migration patterns. Although they have different characteristics, dolphins, sharks, and whales all live in the vast and mysterious ocean.
