First Discovery Close-up
2 total works
Deep down in the oceans readers will find strange, monstrous creatures such as a hatchet fish (its wafer-thin, silvery body is like a mirror, which reflects a double image of itself and makes it difficult for predators to know where it is) or a bearded angler (its trailing beard lights up, luring tiny sea creatures into its glowing tangled filaments).
Young readers will find that the pond is full of animal and plant life, including water skaters (the ends of its long legs are covered in a kind of oil, so it can float on the surface without getting wet or sinking) and frogs (its skin allows air to come through its pores, this is how it breathes).
