FUN FACTS
• Did you know a sea cucumber can shoot its intestines at predators, and then regrow them, in order to avoid being eaten?
• An electric eel can produce 500 watts of electricity (that’s enough to light up 10 light bulbs) to frighten away predators.
• Dolphins sleep with one half of the brain and one eye open to watch for danger.
• No matter how many pieces you cut a sea sponge into each piece will continue living and growing.
• Ocean life can do amazing things to survive. As you visit an aquarium with your students, note the different ways animals defend themselves. Just like a squid, people wouldn’t bother you either if you squirted black ink in their face!
