It is very rare to see them eat alone.  Dolphins will eat almost any kind of fish. Their diets also include squid and small crustaceans such as shrimps.  They swallow their food whole.

Sea Horses  Location Location  There are at least 25 different species of sea horses..  Sea horses eat tiny organism off of plants that they latch onto. They eat these by sucking them through their long tube-like snouts.  Sea horses can move their eyes independently from one another, so that they can also keep a look out for their predators.

Sea Horses Fun Fact: Female sea horses lay their eggs on the male’s abdomen where there’s a pouch called a “brood pouch.” This is where the eggs continue to grow until they hatch. Therefore, the male is the one that takes “mother’s” it’s young, and gives birth to them.

Great White Sharks  Location Location  The Great white shark is the largest shark in the ocean.  When great white sharks are still young they eat fish (including other sharks) and rays. As they grow, the shark's favorite prey becomes sea mammals, especially sea lions and seals.  Great white sharks always sneak up on their prey. They see it as a game in a sense.  As soon as a baby shark is born, it swims away from it’s mother. Baby sharks are on their own right from the start because their mother may see them only as prey.

Great White Sharks Fun Fact: After eating a sea lion or a seal, the great white shark can live up to a month or two without eating again. news/ /Great-white-sharks-hang-out-together.html

Loggerhead Sea Turtles  Location Location  Loggerhead turtles are the most abundant of all the marine turtle species in U.S. waters.  Their food sources are jellyfish, conchs, crabs, and even fish, but they will eat seaweed occasionally.  Predators: Sharks, seas, ghost crabs (when the turtles are still young), and killer whales.  Loggerhead sea turtles are born from eggs. Female loggerhead turtles will lay hundreds of eggs at one time, and most of them will hatch and be born successfully. Click here to watch the baby sea turtles be born!

Jellyfish  Location Location  Jellyfish have tentacles that sting and kill their prey before they eat them.  Jellyfish sting even when they are dead.  Jellyfish are invertebrates, which means they do not have a backbone.  Predators: Sea turtles, and some sharks.

Clown Fish  Location Location  Clown fish are also known as “Anemonefish.”  Clown fish live in Anemones. Anemones have tentacles that sting, but the clownfish are not harmed by them. It sounds crazy, but it’s magnificent! They can live within the anemones because clownfish have a layer of mucus on their skin that make them immune to the anemone's stings.  Some people might ask, why do clownfish live among the anemones? Then they found out a fascinating answer! It’s to protect themselves from their predators! They do this because they know they won’t be harmed when they are in the anemones. Their predators know that it stings, and they wouldn’t dare try to enter.  Predators- Sharks and stingrays.

Clown Fish FUN FACT: When clownfish hatch, they are all male. Under certain conditions, a male will change into a female. However, if it becomes female, it cannot change back. fish-info-and-new-photos-images.html

Whenever the Earth’s climate changes the ice packs tend to melt.
