Fearsome Fish

Did you know that there is more water than land on planet Earth? There is, so there
are a lot more fish than animals!!! There are probably some fish that you haven’t
heard of. One of the most fearsome fish is the Great White Shark. There are many
other deadly fish like the barracuda, bull shark, tiger shark. Most are sharks but there
are eels, man rays, and others that live close to the sea floor. Also, there is the Angler
Fish. Some people mix up an octopus with eight tentacles and a squid with ten. Are
these dangerous? Some people get scared when the octopus squirts its black ink.
Some people believe in mythical fish like the Cracken or the Lock Ness Monster. We
hope you learned a lot about fearsome fish. What was your favorite? Have fun next
time you are swimming in the ocean!
