Reading: Wildlife at the Aquarium
At the aquarium, George and Nia watched a keeper explain how animals suit their surroundings. A penguin’s habitat includes cold coastal waters, while a sea turtle travels through warmer seas. Some sea turtles make a long migration to reach nesting beaches. In one tank, a small fish darted beneath a rock when a larger fish approached. The larger fish was a predator, and the smaller fish was its potential prey. A flatfish’s mottled skin matched the sandy seabed, helping it avoid notice. The keeper explained that an animal’s species can have particular features and behaviours. Away from the tanks, the children learned that owls are nocturnal. They also compared diets: a seal is a carnivore, a rabbit is a herbivore, and a bear is an omnivore.
