Strange creatures


Leafy Sea Dragon

Leafy sea dragons are the only animal to hide by actually moving because they move so slowly, they look like drifting sea weed in the water.

This funky fish bounces like a rubber ball on the ocean floor because it pushes water from tiny gills as it propels through the water and has an off-centered tail. The pectoral fins are also leg-like so they appear to sit.
