sea animals

Seas cover 70% of our planet. Many animals and plants live in these waters. Practise the names of sea animals, learn about dolphins, and find out about how important seas are. Oh, and did you know:

The Blue Whale is the largest animal that has ever lived on Earth. It is also the loudest animal that ever lived on Earth. It's louder than a jet plane!
The fastest fish is the Cosmopolitan Sailfish. It swims at about 109kms an hour!
The most poisonous animal on Earth lives in the sea. It's the box jellyfish, which lives in tropical waters. Its tentacles are 3 metres long.
The rarest animal in the sea is the Baiji Dolphin - or the Chinese River Dolphin. Ecologists believe that there are only 5 left.
