- The ocean is filled with many fish. The cowfish, green with a red eye, has a
solid bony body. Its mouth is perpetually open as it is an extension of its
body bony plate and it cannot close it. This fish can only swim slowly by using
its fins which are very small. The cowfish is an ancient fish that existed
for many thousands of years before man appeared. Note the cow-like horns on its head.
- The lionfish is very fearsome with its spiny poisonous barbs.
- The nurse shark sleeps peacefully. It is one of the few sharks that can breathe
without moving constantly. The other sharks must have a constant flow of water
through their gills to maintain the level of oxygen they need.
