My Research on Aquatic Animals By Lauryn

Aquatic animals are animals that live all or most of their life in the water. Frogs are not aquatic animals because they live in water when they are babies and they live on land when they are big. Whales, seahorses and dolphins are all aquatic animals. Penguins are also aquatic animals because they live most of their life in water.
Seahorses are little creatures that sort of, sort of, sort of look like horses. They live in the coral reef. Sometimes they have little stick-like things sticking out of them and these help them to blend in to the reef. Mother seahorses lay their babies into a little pouch on the dad and the dad seahorse has the babies.


Penguins are birds but they can not fly. They live in cold places and they live mostly in the water. Penguins have two different layers of feathers. One to keep them warm, the first layer keeps them warm. The second layer helps them to swim fast and it is very sleek. Below this picture is a link to a short movie of penguins that kids will really like.

Check out this funny penguin video we found :)

Lauryn, it was very interesting to find out so much about sea creatures. I didn't know a penguine was considered a sea creature. The video was really really funny. It reminded me of two kids. Thanks for sharing.
