Dolphins can dive to as deep as 200 yards in a single
breath. But according to experiments done by scientists,
they do not have enough oxygen to make that dive. What is
their secret?
Baby mammals need a lot of sleep to develop their brain
and body. But baby orcas dont sleep for the first four
weeks after birth! Why is that?
Harbor seals often hunt at night in pitch black water.
And yet they are able to successfully capture their prey.
How is that possible?
Some dolphins are seen wearing sponges on their snouts
when hunting on the ocean floor. What could this mean?
In Antarctica, seals have amazing hunting strategies to
catch their prey in the cold waters of the Antarctic.
Therefore, scientists set out to discover these mysteries by
attaching cameras to their bodies. The results provide a
promising glimpse to how seals are able to outsmart their prey.
In this book, you would find out the answers to all of
these secrets& and more!
Opinion:
This book is excellent for ocean enthusiasts who want to
learn something unique about these marine mammals. However,
it is very simple and does not go much into detail. Usually,
a book of this type would be packed with exciting pictures
and graphics. However, this book somewhat lacks in that
category. There was one 6-page span where not a single
picture was included. Out of the five secrets this book
shared, there was one that stood out from the rest. It was
about how seals can locate objects in the water with their
eyes blindfolded. This story captured my attention and was
very informative and exciting. Overall, this book does not
provide too much information about the animals themselves.
However, this is a great book for those who just want to
discover something unique about these marine
mammals.
