There are mil ions of plants and animals living in the sea. Most of the plants and animals
living in the oceans are extremely smal and float near the surface of the water in their
thousands. They are food for huge numbers of smal animals that also live near the surface.
Together, they are all known as plankton.
Many fish feed on this plankton, including one of the largest, the whale shark. Despite
their great size, certain whales live entirely on plankton.
The blue whale is the largest animal ever to live. It grows to a length of over 100 feet. The
humpback whale is a smal er kind and has long flippers. It can jump right out the water. The
Californian grey whale makes long migrations every year - it spends the summer feeding in the
Arctic but swims south to the warmer waters off the coast of Mexico in the winter. The females
give birth in the shallow, warm water there.
Many of the fish in the sea may be eaten by other meat-eaters. Sharks, for example, area
some of the fastest hunters, although not all of them eat other fish.
Deep down in the oceans live many strange fish. It is so dark down there that many of
these fish have "light" on them, which are used for attracting smal er fish for the larger ones to
eat.
Jellyfish are peculiar-looking creatures ranging in size from a fraction of an inch to 6 feet
across. They don't really swim but drift in the currents of the open oceans. Although they contain
a powerful sting, they are often eaten by turtles. Turtles are reptiles that spend most of their
eggs on sandy beaches.
35. ........ are food for huge numbers of smal animals that also live near the surface.
A. Very smal plants and animals
B. Big animals
C. The oceans mammals
