Hi everyone,
I have seen some really interesting things lately and I am full of wierd and wonderful facts!
Did you know......
* that paua have a head like a snail?
* that scallops have eyes?
* that there is a mollusk (sea snail) that camoflagues itself with pieces of rock and old shells? (see picture)
* that some sea stars can grow as wide as 60cm?!
Have you ever seen a sea cucumber? - such a funny little creature (see picture)
Next time you are at the beach, look carefully at the shells, you will notice that some shells are in one piece and some shells are two pieces joined together (like a cockle). The ones with two shells are called bivalves.
Right, I am off to do more research on wierd and wonderful marine life. Let me know if you find any facts yourselves.
