Three Amazing Facts About Sea Creatures
Let’s go fishing…
1. World’s Longest Fish
Oarfish is the world’s longest, greatly elongated Lampriform fish, regularly grow to over 20 feet (6m) long. They are giant, eel-shaped fish. Individuals as large as 46 feet (14 m) long have been recorded.
2. The Tallest Fish
Ocean sunfish are the world’s tallest fish that can measure over 14 ft (4 m) high, including their long back and belly fins. They are also known as the heaviest bony fish, weighing 1000 kg (2200 lbs).
3. Fish That Can Walk On Land
Is there any? Mudskippers fish are the kind of fish which live in swamps and muddy estuaries on tropical cost. They are quite active out of water. They use their pectoral fins to walk on land, and they come right out of the water using their muscular chest fins as crutches. They are often called “Walking Fish”
“Note: I didn’t know that these creatures exists. When I opened the kids encyclopedia, I realized I wanted to go back to school- Grade 2, I guess”

The oarfish looks scary! Enjoyable article, I didn’t realise any fish could ‘walk’ either, thanks for the research.

I found the mudskippers amusing. There’s really so much in the world waiting to be discovered. It’s a big, big world!

I think you can learn so much from Kids encyclopaedias and they are so much easier to understand and so beautifully illustrated.
A great article.
