Hey guys it's Kerry I've got some new sea animals today and lots of
interesting facts Despite two-thirds of our planet being covered by water the
oceans and many of their inhabitants remain an unexplored mystery
flying fish their wing like pectoral fins are primarily for gliding the fish
hold their fins flat at the sides when swimming
spiny Lobster they are nocturnal and emerge from their hiding spots during
the night to forage on their favorite foods including crabs clams and other
invertebrates spiny lobsters reproduce in spring and
summer females carry bright orange eggs on the
underside of the tail clawed lobster Why are Lobster claws so
strong inside the closer muscle of the crusher
is comprised of 100% slow twitch muscle fiber
slow twitch muscles are noted for strength and endurance and are
characterized by the ability to sustain long strong contractions the fast
Lobster Claw has a variety of names including cutter pincher and seizer one
of their claws can exert pressure up up to 100 PSI
so they may not feel pain but they can seriously cause some serious pain
Moray eel it is a true eel the dorsal fin begins just behind its
head extends along the length of its body and is fused with a caudal or tail
and anal fins they lack both pelvic and pectoral fins
goblin shark the front end of the goblin shark is impressively adapted to
capturing deep sea prey its teeth are slender with smooth edge blades making
them ideal for grasping slippery bodied prey that is small enough to swallow
whole The jaws are loosely slung and highly
protrusible greatly increasing the predator's reach
the biting process is named slingshot feeding it involves the projection of
the Jaws at speeds of up to 3.1 meters per second
Their unusual appearance includes a pinkish body lacking proper pigment
exposed teeth and protruding Jaws

Pufferfish they can inflate inflate into a ball shape
to evade predators they fill their elastic stomachs with huge amounts of
water or air to escape predators shrimp though they have very small
brains shrimps are complex animals some shrimp eat dead scales and parasites of
the skin of living fish they come in different colors which are
influenced by their natural habitat shrimp don't have fins but swim by
flexing the muscles of their belly and tail
horseshoe crab their blood is a blue to blue green color when exposed to the air
it is this color because it contains a copper-based respiratory pigment called
hemocyanin horseshoe crabs do not bite or sting
despite the ferocious look of the tail it is not used as a weapon instead they
use their tails for righting themselves if they are flipped over by a wave
hermit crab these crustaceans aren't selective when it comes to food they're
opportunistic omnivores who eat plankton kelp seaweed tube worms seahorses tiny
shrimp and other crabs they will even eat dead stuff king crab they are a
chiefly found in cold seas because of their
large size and the taste of their meat they are caught and sold as food
Dungeness crab is the largest edible crab ranging from California through
Alaska like all crabs they can regenerate lost appendages
Sally light food crab has 10 legs and is able to run in four directions
blue crab their carapace it's a blue to olive green
shells can reach up to nine inches across which is about 21 centimeters
blue crab claws are bright blue and mature females have red tips on their
claws too they have three pairs of walking legs and rear swimming legs that
look like paddles They generally live for three or four years
octopus the process of mating is very unusual as
the males use one of their arms to place a sac of sperm into the body cavity of
the female the sperm sac may stay inside of the female
for many months before she produces any eggs
the warmth of her body is able to keep it alive
there is a large volume of sperm given to the female due to the high number of
eggs that they hatch male octopus have a specialized extra
long arm which acts like a penis called the hectocotylus
It delivers sperm from a distance it has a sperm groove down it and a
specialized tip this is an adaptation to mating with
cannibalistic females that frequently kill and eat males during or after
copulation When the male inserts his hectocotylus into the female's mantle
cavity to deposit the spermatophores this process may take up to several
hours depending on the species female store their spermatophores until they're
ready to lay their eggs walrus they are easily recognizable by
their wrinkly brown skin long tusks and massive size
they use their sensitive whiskers to locate molluscs they create a seal with
their lips and use their tongue to produce a vacuum to suck the meat
directly out of the shell
Weedy sea dragon unlike seahorses the sea dragons do not have a pouch for rearing
the young instead male sea dragons carry the eggs
fixed to the underside of the tail
incubation time is about eight weeks with up to 250 young hatching from a
single brood their leaf-shaped appendages and unusual
coloration provide effective camouflage allowing them to feed on small
Crustaceans such as mysids frog fish they are robust rather
lumpy fishes with large mouths and often prickly skins
Queen trigger fish they can dart into crevices when
threatened and lock their dorsal fin in place to prevent predators from pulling
them out clown trigger fish is territorial and
males are the first to arrive at spawning areas where they set up and defend small
territories koi it is one of the strongest living
creatures in the water and can swim vigorously even in a cold pond
box fish feed on small invertebrates on muddy or sandy bottoms
salmon are an anadromous fish which means they're born in fresh water but
spend their adult lives at sea
Sea star most species of starfish are gonochorous with separate male and female
individuals there are no external gonads but their sex is apparent when they
spawn
Anomalocaris it's extinct it had no legs but swam by flexing its segmented body and waving
the flaps on its sides large compound eyes indicate that it had good vision
and hunted by night The largest fossil found was one meter in length
Amazon pink river dolphin they have the largest bodies and brains
of any freshwater dolphin giant squid is massive and when fully
grown can be 10 meters in length they are rarely seen by humans and
sometimes they're found washed up on beaches the largest one ever was 18
meters their eyes are large being 10 inches or
25 centimeters in diameter these big eyes help them to spy objects
in the dark depths where most other animals would see nothing
like other squid species they have eight arms and two longer whip-like tentacles
that help bring them food to their beak like mouths they use their funnel as a
propulsion system drawing water back into the mantle or main part of the body and
forcing it out of the back
blue whale it has a heart the size of a small car its stomach can hold one ton
of krill and it needs to eat about four tons of krill each day
Bowhead whale their bow shaped skull is can be about a third
of their body length their thick skull allows them to break
through thick sea ice right whale
they feature callosities which are raised white patches of roughened skin
each whale has a unique pattern which helps scientists identify each
individual Humpback whale they are baleen whales
they don't have any teeth and feed by filtering shrimp like krill between their
baleen plates which hang from the top jaw
they feed in Antarctic waters on krill but will also eat small fish and
plankton orca or
killer whale the largest one ever recorded was a staggering nearly 10
meters in length
narwhal it is an odontocete or toothed whale
but it's different from all other toothed whales it has no teeth in its mouth
Reef squid it is small and torpedo shaped with undulating fins that extend nearly
the entire length of the body it is about 20 centimeters in length
gray whale this species of whale has short baleen a
proportionately small head when compared to other baleen whales and no dorsal fin
instead of a dorsal fin they have 19 to 13 bumps or knuckles from the midpoint
of the back to the tail flukes gray whales are predominantly bottom feeders
and forage along the ocean floor turning on its side a gray whale gulps great
mouthfuls of silt strains out water and mud through its baleen and swallows bottom
dwelling invertebrates this one species has the least amount of
baleen approximately 130 baleen strips on each side of the jaw
the reduced number of baleen reflects the fact that they are bottom feeders
females give birth to 4.9 meter calves in the warm shallow lagoons they can dive
to depths of 120 meters and swim up to 15 kilometers per hour
they are known to migrate more than 10 000 kilometers each way the longest
known migration route of any mammal Largemouth bass
it is a freshwater game fish in the Sunfish family a species of black bass
native to North America
anglerfish they have huge heads and enormous crescent shaped mouths filled
with sharp translucent teeth they have an appendage dangling from
their heads to attract other fish to them
Kronosaurus was one of the largest sea reptiles it measured up to 10 meters in
length even its head at three meters was bigger than a man this monster could
open its jaws wide like a crocodile and grasp prey with teeth as big as bananas
Koolasuchus was an aquatic temnospondyl
with a large sized skull it was a large amphibian measuring up to
three meters in length and 500 kilograms in body mass it lived mostly in
fast-moving streams of water but was also capable of crawling onto land
Megaloden was once the most fearsome predator to reign the seas this ancient
shark lived roughly 23 to 3.6 million years ago in nearly every corner of the
ocean it was roughly up to three times the length of a modern day great white
shark it is the largest shark to have ever lived
fossil remains of megaloden have been found in shallow tropical and
temperateseas along the coastlines and continental shelf regions of all
continents except Antarctica
