Jellyfish
I am beautiful! I look like a bride with
a huge veil that keeps me afloat in
the middle of the sea. I am so pretty
that you always want to take me
into your hands. But be careful
because I sting like a nettle!

Who am I?
I am very plentiful in all seas and
particularly along the Atlantic shoreline
where I bury myself in holes along the
beach. Sometimes you can see my holes
at low tide or collect my empty shells. I
taste very good in soups and chowders.

Who am I?
Starfish
I look like a star but I am not.
I have a mouth and five strong arms
that can, even underwater, open a clam
which I can then eat. If I lose an arm,
another will grow in its place. When
I die and dry out, you can find and
collect me along the beach.

Crayfish
My body is protected by a very hard
shell. I have two big claws and eight legs
which can be used for walking forwards or
backwards. If one of my leg is lost, I can
grow another. Because I am so good to
eat, many people like to catch me.

Sponge
I live attached to rocks with many
other like me. My body is full of little
holes through which water brings
my food. In this way I am nourished.
when I am dead you can use me
to wash a table or your face.

Who am I?
I like to live on the sandy bottom
of the Atlantic Ocean. My stomach
is soft, so to protect myself I have to
live inside the old shells of snails and
whelks. As I grow, I have to move to
larger and larger shells. I have
two antennae and two pincers.

Who am I?
I look like a beautiful picture of the sun!
But don't be fooled. I am a fierce predator
that feeds almost always on smaller
animals of my species. I move across
the ocean floor with slender tube feet
that reach ahead, attach to an object,
and pull me forward.
