Happy World Oceans Day!!!
Shall we have a lovely little fishy celebration? ;o)
Over the past several days I've been leaving a trail of breadcrumbs to help you figure out whom I've chosen to celebrate WOD:
- 1. I'm a marine fish (although some people might think I don't look like one)
- 2. I can been found in deep and shallow and warm and temperate waters all over the world
- 3. I've got a mouthful of teeth and my bite can have very nasty consequences
- 4. But I'm shy so if I bite you it was probably your fault! (see story here)
- 5. I'm usually nocturnal. That means I prefer coming out of my hiding place (in crevices or holes) at night to look for food.
- 6. I rely on my sense of smell to find my prey, so if you're a stinky dead critter all the better for me! I help clean up the sea bottom of rotting corpses. But I also hunt for small tasty critters to munch on! ;o)
- 7. I'm part of a big family: around 200 species ranging in size from 10 cm to over 2 m in length and many different possible colours.
- 8. We might vary in size and colour, but we pretty much all have an elongated body which flattens a bit towards the end and we have a single dorsal fin and a ventral fin.
