Marine animals - sea cucumber
1) When a sea cucumber is attacked by a predator and cannot escape, it can use a splitting technique to flee, quickly ejecting its internal organs from its anus. Predators, seeing the brightly colored and delicious organs, will abandon their prey and pounce on the sea cucumber's viscera. The sea cucumber that has discarded its viscera can still survive.
Marine animals - Barracuda
(2) Barracudas can be divided into three types. One is the Taiwan barracuda, which has two brown stripes on its sides and a yellow tail fin. It is 40-50 cm long. It lives in coral reef waters and shallow bays, likes to live in groups, and can travel at a speed of 60-70 km/h. Another is the Yamato barracuda, which is coastal and often lives in groups in the middle and surface layers of the water.
Marine animals - squid
(3) Squid are known as the "makeup artists" of the sea because they love to "dress up." Squid are very good at using body color to express emotions. Sudden changes in their body color are mostly due to fear and excitement. During the breeding season, female squid use colorful patterns to express their attraction to the opposite sex. They often paint stripes on their bodies, like wearing beautiful pajamas. Among marine creatures, squid are the fastest swimmers. They propel themselves forward at high speed by the reaction force of water ejected from the funnel-shaped tube on their belly, and can leap out of the water as high as 7 to 10 meters. Squid have ink in their belly, which is rare in the animal kingdom. The ink sac is located in the squid's belly and contains ink glands that can secrete thick ink, and can be quickly replenished after being ejected. When a squid suddenly encounters a powerful enemy, it uses this special defensive weapon to turn the tide.
Marine animals - shellfish
(4) A wide variety of seashells and conches, with unique shapes and vibrant colors. Among them, tiger shells, white jade shells, luminous shells, five-clawed shells, pig mother shells, pearl shells, chaste shells, triton crown shells, seven-horned shells, pig ear shells, as well as horseshoe shells that can be used as ashtrays, and large-horned shells used as horns by fishermen, are all lovely natural handicrafts. Various paintings, utensils, and ornaments made from smooth and shiny seashells are characterized by their bright and natural colors and their noble and elegant style. Pearl shells are oval or disc-shaped with ridges, and scales on the ridges near the edges. The hinge is relatively long, with small teeth at both ends. The central surface of the two shells is generally light brown or gray with dense reddish-brown radial patterns; the inner surface has a mother-of-pearl luster.
