Ocean Biome
The marine biome is one of the largest biomes on the earth. It spans three fourths of the earths surface. It includes all five oceans the Arctic, Indian, Southern, Atlantic, and Pacific. In it There are many many types of fish and also some mammals. The oceans span wide and deep. There are also plants in the ocean. The ocean is a vast and mysterious place where we are still discovering many things about it everyday.
The physical attributes of the ocean depend on which ocean you explore,for example the Arctic ocean is very cold but the Pacific ocean is warm. In the ocean there is a deep portion and a shallow the shallow is warm because it is close to the sun but the deep is cold because it is not. In the deep you can find strange cretures
such as the anglerfish or the cookiecutter shark or the flashlight fish. In the shallow you can find bright colorful fish such as clownfish or the mandarin fish. In the shallows you can also find different types of corals like brain coral or sea plumes. These corals latch on to rock and make a home for different fish such as clown fish or eels.
The scorpion fish is one of the animals that has adapted to survive. It gets its name from its spines which are coated with poison. This adaptations help it survive other predators. It also has a camouflage pattern to blend in with the background. It waits when a crab or plankton passes by then it sucks it in its mouth and eats it. Another fish with adaption is the angler fish. It has a lightbulb like ball on the end of an atenea that it waves to attract prey to eat them Some of the adaptations help with camouflage others help with defence others help with catching food. The electric eel for instance uses its electricity for killing its prey and defense against bigger predators.
Scientists believe that there are between seven hundred thousand and one million species in the ocean. There are fish, such as sharks, clown fish, or rays. There are also mammals such as whales, dolphins, or orcas. All of the different animals have different diets the fish eat other fish or plants. The whales dolphins and orcas all eat fish and both crabs and the plants eat the dead remains of fish or other plants. The sharks also eat turtles which are amphibian because they can go on both land and water. Sometimes the sharks mistake surfers for turtles and try to take a bit out of them.
There are many different species in the ocean humans still haven't discovered them all. All of the different adaptations of the different species helps with many different things some help with camouflage, some help with killing or trapping prey, and others help with defence against predators. There is a dark deep abyss to the ocean and there is a warm shallow spot. There are many different types of fish and plants and they all have different diets.
