Hey Ocean Explorers!
Come along as I, Daisy Diver, introduce you to some of my favourite sea creatures I met during my underwater adventure at Summercloud Bay. These amazing animals live in the sea — and each one is special in its own way!
🐟 "Stella" The Striped Marlin – The Zooming Speedster!
Zoom! Flash! Whoosh!
"Stella" the striped marlin is one of the fastest fish in the ocean — like a race car with fins! She has bright blue stripes and a super long nose that looks like a sword. That’s how it zooms through schools of little fish for dinner.
Fun Fact: Striped marlins can swim up to 80 km/h. That’s faster than your mum’s car in a school zone!
🎨 Try This: Draw a striped marlin with blue and purple zig-zag stripes!
🐴 Seahorse – The Ocean’s Gentle Dancer
Say hello to the seahorse family;
Mum - Shelly
Dad - Saylor
Daughter - Stella
Son - Starlo
the cutest and tiniest creature in the sea!
They curl their tails around seaweed so they don’t float away and love to sway in the ocean like they’re dancing.
Fun Fact: The dads carry the babies in their tummy pouch — how cool is that?!
🎨 Try This: Colour a seahorse in rainbow shades and give it a twisty tail!
🦈 "Gary" The Grey Nurse Shark – The Gentle Giant
Don’t be scared — this shark is a softie!
The grey nurse shark might look fierce, but it's calm and slow-moving. They rest in caves and love hanging out with friends. I call my shark buddy "Gary" — he’s like a sleepy big brother.
Fun Fact: Grey nurse sharks are on the endangered list, so we have to protect them.
🎨 Try This: Draw a grey nurse shark giving a shy smile!
🐙 "Cutie" - The Cuttlefish & Friends
The Master of Disguise - cuttlefish are like ocean wizards!
They change colours faster than a blinking light. They can be brown, blue, stripy, spotty — whatever helps them hide in the sand or coral.
Fun Fact: Cuttlefish have three hearts. That’s a lot of love!
🎨 Try This: Draw a cuttlefish in disguise — can your friends spot it?
