Miscellaneous Mollusks and Other Interesting Invertebrates

With Mr. Wallo and this sea angel -->

There are other invertabrates we haven't even talked about!

Here a giant Isopod

Doesn't look that big does it?

But actually they are huge like the name says.

They eat dead stuff on the ocean floor!

Something Has to Clean Up.

The important thing here is that even something terrifying can play an important role

They posess some amazing abilities.

This Bobbit Worm has no eyes and no brain.

Here is a model of the inside of one?

What do you notice?

Sea anemones

are typically predators

grab prey that comes by

immobilizing it with the aid of their venom covered tentacles

So some animals have adapted a ton, like the octopus

Others have not had to change a lot to thrive.

Sometimes when species haven't changed in a long time

its because it's already close to perfect for it's environment.

Now it is not Shark time yet

but some sharks are considered "living fossils"

This is the frill shark

Coelacanth 

Only known from Fossils before around 1940!

actually still around,

must be pretty rare since we don't see them often

They drift in ocean currents and eat things that come by!`
