Atlantic Ocean Critters

You did wonderful answering the questions about Atlantic Ocean animals.  Here are the answers.

1. The blue whale is the largest existing animal. In Latin, it's name can means "muscular" or "little mouse", but there is nothing little about this animal!

2. The dolphin is a carnivore and closely related to the porpoise. The critter has very sensitive ears, hearing frequencies 10 times above human hearing. A playful animal, it loves to dance and entertain others. In order to avoid danger, the animal must swim continuously and only sleep for 4 to 60 seconds at a time.

3. North Atlantic puffins are often times mistakenly called penguins. They have cute little clown-like faces. They can dive up to 196 feet (60 meters) to catch fish to eat. They can fly up to 30 feet (10 meters) above the Ocean.

4. Octopuses and squids can change colors like a chameleon. When in danger, they can squirt clouds of ink. Ancient mariners thought these animals were sea monsters.

5. Manatees are often times confused with seals or sea lions, these animals are mammals that eat plants in the ocean, and seldom are seen on land. Located in the Caribbean and mid Atlantic area, these animals are very slow swimmers, and completely herbivorous. Their "sea cow" cousins lived in the Pacific Ocean, but are extinct now.
