Fish
Adaptations
Fish live, hunt, hide, spawn—they've
adapted. So they thrive.
The archerfish sees its prey on a
branch: Ready, aim, fire!
And the blackspot tuskfish hears the crack of
clamshell against the rock. Did it break open?
An ocean sunfish enjoys tasty blobs of jellyfish and
the hammerhead senses its prey nearby,
While the minnows smell the alarm
from others—warning!
Oh, the fabulous adaptations of fish!
Fish Poem
Fish have
many fabulous
and strange
adaptations
to help them
survive. You might
have heard that
the ugly anglerfish
of the deep, dark
ocean has a dangling light
in front of its mouth to lure prey.
And pufferfish puff up like balloons when in danger.
But do you know
how icefish that
live in the water
around Antarctica
keep from
freezing solid?
