Do you remember Nemo, what he is, where he lives, and what he eats?
Well, first of all, Nemo is a star of a Disney movie....did you see it? He is a member of a family of fish commonly called Clown Fish. Clown Fish usually look like the one above, but they are not always orange with white and black stripes. A different one is shown below:
Clown Fish live in tropical Coral Reefs, one of which is a very big reef off the east coast of Australia...the Great Barrier Reef, which is so big it can be seen from space by astronauts. Other tropical reefs are found in the Indian Ocean and in the Red Sea....do you know of other such reefs?
Clown Fish live among, and sometimes within, sea anemones which have poisonous tentacles. The Clown Fish is not hurt by the tentacles, and actually helps keep this sea creature clean by eating food scraps it has not consumed. The Clown Fish also eats algae and plankton...very very small plants and animals that live in the sea.
The following is a picture of a Clown Fish living inside an anemone:
And here is a picture of Nemo's home...the Great Barrier Reef, from Space...the Reef is the white bits inside the blue ocean...the brown and green is Australia. How about that?
Dear Alan:
ReplyDeleteWe watched the owl video in class. It's very interesting. We want to know some information from this video. How do you make the video of the owl?
The coral reef is beautiful. It's very big. It's fantastic! The clown fish is espectacular! The class 4C likes the clown fish.
Thank you, Alan!

Hello Class 4C, it is good to hear from you.
DeleteI think the Owl in the video is a pet or tame one that is used to flying to it's owner's hand (maybe for a reward?). The very high speed and high definition camera may be on the owner's head or shoulder, and it may be very small, just like the one I use on my electric gliders.
It is a very interesting video, isn't it?
Why do you like the Clown fish? Because they are pretty?
Do you know of any other colourful fish that live on reefs?
Thanks Alan with the information of the fish and everything.
