This is a picture of an average octopus. He is floating to the bottom of the ocean. The octopus has no bones so they can squeeze into small places.

There are a lot of weird animas in the ocean. This is a sea slug. You should be cautious of animals like this because animals with bright colors. Bright colors often mean danger Many sea slugs have stingers on their skin. They pick them up off of the anemones they prey in.      

 

                                                                                                                                              

 

 

This is an everyday bottle nose dolphin. If you did not know dolphins are safe animals. They come around and keep sharks away. Well, sharks just don’t like to com around when they are near.
