Sea Sponge

Sponges are very slow-moving animals that are found across the sea floor.

Some adult sponges are actually sessile, which means that they are fixed onto something and do not move at all.

Sponges are thought to have evolved around 500 million years ago, and today there are more than 5,000 known species. But there is only one species that walks, talks and works as a fry cook. SpongeBob SquarePants!

Most sponges live in a salt water enviromnent, attached to objects on the sea floor.

Sea sponges may be green, red, blue, yellow, orange, or brown.

The body of the sponge contains thousands of pores which allow water to keep flowing through it.

Sponges have no organs, and primarily eat bacteria and phytoplankton.

A number of sponge species are known to have a more carnivorous diet, eating small fish and crustaceans on the reefs.

Sponges can be found in a variety of different sizes and shapes: tubes, fans, cups, cones and blobs.

Sponges are preyed upon by many animals due to their abundance and variety. The fact that sponges move so slowly, if at all, means that they cannot avoid being eaten. Sea turtles, crustaceans, and fish all prey on sponges.

Sea Star

Marine scientists have undertaken the difficult task of replacing the beloved starfish’s common name with the sea star because, well, the starfish is not a fish.

There are about 2,000 sea star species living in all the world’s oceans. The five-arm varieties are the most common, but species with 10, 20 and even 40 arms exist.

They have bony skin, which protects them from most predators, and come in lots of colors that camouflage them, or scare off potential attackers.

There are no freshwater sea stars, and only a few live in brackish water.

Sea stars are famous for their ability to regenerate limbs, and in some cases, entire bodies.

Sea stars have no brains and no blood. Their nervous system is spread through their arms, and their “blood” is actually filtered sea water.



continued

A sea star also has eye spots that can detect light and dark. These eye spots are at the tip of each of the sea star’s arms.

Sea stars eat shellfish. Patrick Star eats Krabby Patties.

Due to their slow moving nature, the sea star is preyed upon by many animal predators including fish, crabs, rays, sharks, humans and birds when they are washed onto the shore.

OctopusThe common octopus has a huge, bulbous head, large eyes and eight distinctive arms.

The octopus uses a lot of tricks to avoid predators.

The octopus has the ability to hide in plain sight. The common octopus can almost instantly match the colors, patterns, and even textures of its surroundings. Predators such as sharks, eels and dophins swim by without even noticing it.

When discovered, an octopus will release a cloud of black ink to block it from view, giving it time to swim away. The ink even contains a substance that dulls a predator’s sense of smell, making the fleeing octopus harder to track.

The octopus is a very fast swimmer and can squeeze its soft body into small spaces to hide. If all else fails, an octopus can lose an arm to escape a predator’s grasp. The octopus can hen regrow the arm later.

The octopus also has beak-like jaws that can deliver a nasty bite with venomous saliva, used mainly for subduing prey.



continued

Considered the most intelligent of all invertebrates (just ask Squidward), the common octopus is found in the tropical and temperate waters of the world’s oceans.

The common octopus can grow to about 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) in length and weigh up to 22 pounds (10 kilograms), although averages are much smaller.

Octopus prey on crabs, crayfish, and mollusks, and will sometimes use their ink to disorient their victims before attacking.

JellyfishJellyfish have been around for millions of yearsThey were even here before the dinosaurs!

Jellyfish can be found in every ocean, but some jellyfish live in fresh water.

Jellyfish can be large or small and are sometimes brightly colored.

They can often be transparent (see-through).

Although the word is mentioned in their name, jellyfish are not fish.

A group of jellyfish is called a ‘bloom’, ‘swarm’ or ‘smack’ and can feature over 100,000 jellyfish.

Jellyfish don’t have brains.

Jellyfish use their tentacles to sting. Most are harmless to humans, yet stings from some species, such as the box jellyfish, can be very painful and sometimes deadly.

A dead jellyfish can sting.

Jellyfish eat plankton.

Jellyfish are a favorite meal for many sea turtles.

Tell a“Jellyfish Story”

Mr. Krabs loves to tellthe occasional fish story.

A fish story is a story that exaggerates the truth ---

the way the fish a fisherman caught gets

bigger and biggerevery time he tells his story about it.

Now that you know a lot more about jellyfish, we want you to tell a

“Jellyfish Story.” Your story shouldinclude at least

3 facts about jellyfish, and two exaggerations.

Illustrate your story in the box provided.
