Sea animals

In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Rani takes Shanti's family to the Marine Interpretation Centre. Through pictures, models and information, they learn how tiny corals give shelter to many sea creatures, and that life in the sea matters not just for the sea but for the whole Earth.

At the end of the chapter, your book has a matching game with eight sea animals. Here they are, each with what makes it special. Corals are tiny sea animals that form colourful reefs, which give shelter and homes to fish and many other creatures. The starfish has no brain, but it can regrow an arm if it loses one. The seahorse is a fish that swims upright, and its face looks like a horse's.

Sea turtles have hard shells, and they return to the beach where they were born to lay their eggs. The octopus has eight arms and can change its colour to hide.

The clownfish lives safely among stinging sea anemones. The jellyfish has a soft, see-through body and stings with its tentacles. Dolphins are smart mammals that breathe air and live in groups.
