Hey guys it's Kerry marine vertebrates include reptiles and
mammals such as sea snakes sea turtles seals manatees and whales
marine invertebrates include fish and marine mammals such as dolphins whales
otters and seals hermit crab
they are anomuran decapod crustaceans and have adapted to occupy empty
scavenged shells to protect their fragile exoskeletons
sally lightfoot crab they have an extremely generalist diet
this makes them an important part of the ecosystem
as they provide services such as keeping the shore clean of any organic debris
and eating ticks off marine iguanas blue crab
is found in intertidal estuaries around most of Australia and east to New
Caledonia
horseshoe crab they are not crabs they are marine and brackish water arthropods

moray eel they rely mostly on their highly developed sense of smell lying in
weight to ambush prey weedy seadragon
the females lay around 120 eggs onto the brood patch located on the underside of
the male's tail the eggs are fertilized and carried by
the male for around a month before the hatchlings emerge
the young are independent at birth
flying fish they can make powerful self-propelled
leaps out of the water where their long wing-like fins enable gliding for
considerable distances salmon
typically salmon are anadromous which means they hatch in fresh water
migrate to the ocean then return to fresh water to reproduce
humpback whale it is known for breaching and other
distinctive surface behaviors making it very popular with whale watches
males will produce a complex song lasting between 10 and 20 minutes which
they keep on repeating
Maine lobster it can weigh up to 20 kilograms making
it the heaviest crustacean in the world and also the heaviest of all living
arthropod species mating only takes place shortly after
the female has molted and her exoskeleton is still soft
spiny lobster they can be easily distinguished from
true lobsters by their very long thick spiny antennae
and by their lack of chelae or claws
the carapace on the spiny lobster is slightly compressed lacking any lateral
ridges potential predators may be deterred from
eating spiny lobsters by a loud screech made by the antennae of the spiny
lobsters rubbing against a smooth part of the exoskeleton
blue spotted ray at night small groups of blue spotted
ribbon tailed rays follow the rising tide onto sandy flats to root for small benthic
invertebrates and bony fishes in the sediment
reproduction is aplacental viviparous catfish gets its name from its prominent
barbels which resemble a cat's whiskers most catfish are bottom feeders they are
negatively buoyant which means that they usually sink rather than float
piranha they have a single row of sharp teeth in both jaws the teeth are tightly
packed and interlocking and are used for rapid puncture and shearing
large mouth bass is carnivorous the male makes a nest using the rocky
and weedy bottoms after a female is found the two bass
swim around the nest together turning their bodies so that the eggs and sperm
that are being released will come in contact on the way down to the nest
the male guards the nest
marbled stingray they are bottom feeders they settle
themselves down over their prey trapping them against the substrate with their
disc then flexing their disc flaps and maneuvering the victims into their
mouths this is a cow nose ray
I'm going to save the blue whales for later
clown trigger fish is a demersal marine fish they can grow
up to 50 centimeters starfish or sea stars
they are echinoderms
king crab are a taxon of crab-like decapod
crustaceans because of their large size and the
taste of their meat many species are widely caught and sold as food
the red king crab is a very large species with a carapace up to a width of
28 centimeters and a leg span of 1.8 meters
blue whale they reproduce via sexual meiosis
the male and female each produce haploid gametes
male gametes are sperm and the female gametes are eggs
a single sperm and egg fertilize to form a diploid zygote
they fertilize internally meaning sperm is deposited inside the
female by the male this usually happens after a very
elaborate mating ritual the male and female spend time rolling
around each other then they take a deep dive into the
ocean abyss as they continue to communicate with each other
suddenly they fly upwards and cross the surface and as they do the male deposits
his sperm inside the female females have a long vulva with two nipples on each
side to nourish newborns cuttlefish
are marine mollusks of the order sepiida they belong to the class cephalopods
which also includes squid octopus and nautilus
the cuttlebone is used for control of buoyancy
megaladon was one of the largest and most powerful predators to have ever
lived they had a massive bite force and their teeth were thick and robust built
for grabbing prey and breaking bone
great white shark it has no known natural predators
other than on very rare occasions the killer whale
this is jaws by funko it is the world's largest known extant
macro predatory fish and is one of the primary predators of marine mammals up
to the size of a large baleen whale
goblin shark this pink skinned animal has a
distinctive profile with an elongated flat snout and highly protrusible jaws
containing prominent nail-like teeth goblin sharks are benthol pelagic
creatures that inhabit upper continental slopes
submarine canyons and seamounts throughout the world
at depths greater than 100 meters
early fish had no jaws but went extinct when they were out
competed by jawed fish Kemp's Ridley sea turtle
they grow to a length of 71 centimeters and can weigh up to 50 kilograms
they feed on crabs fish cephalopods and submarine vegetation
sea turtle the loggerhead measures around 90
centimeters in carapace length weighing around
135 kilograms octopus
like other cephalopods an octopus is bilaterally symmetric with two eyes and
a beak with its mouth at the center point of the eight limbs
the soft body can radically alter its shape enabling octopuses to squeeze
through small gaps pink reef squid they are easily
recognizable by their large rounded fins that extend along almost the entire
length of their mantles giving them a superficial resemblance to cuttlefish
pufferfish most species are toxic and some are
among the most poisonous vertebrates in the world they are morphologically
similar to the closely related porcupine fish which have large external spines
koi are colored varieties of Amur carp
their bright colors put them at a severe disadvantage against predators
clownfish in the wild they all form symbiotic
mutualisms with sea anemones elephant seal
they are marine mammals classified under the order pinopedia which in latin means
feather or thin footed elephant seals are considered true seals
and fall under the family phocidae
manatee they are large fully aquatic mostly
herbivorous marine mammals sometimes known as sea cows
notice the rounded tail flipper
manta ray that larger species can reach up to
seven meters in width while the smaller species are five and a half meters in
length both have triangular pectoral fins
horn-shaped cephalic fins and large forward-facing mouths
manta rays are intelligent they have the largest brain to size ratio of any
cold-blooded fish
shrimp or prawn they are decapod crustaceans with
elongated bodies and a primarily swimming mode of locomotion
jellyfish they are mainly free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped
bells and training tentacles ammonite is an extinct cephalopod the
earliest ammonites appeared during the Devonian and the last species vanished
in the Cretaceous Paleogene extinction event
blue grouper they have peg teeth heavy scales large
tails and thick lips
frog fish they are small
short and stocky and sometimes covered in spinules and other appendages to
aiding camouflage Pacific goliath groper it has a robust
oblong body they can grow up to two and a half
meters in length
queen trigger fish can grow to 60 centimeters
it is typically found in coral and rocky reefs
emperor penguin is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species
and is endemic to Antarctica Please stay
