      I work in a building full of scientists who look at different parts of science, based around the ocean and everything within. They have a ship which goes around the world looking for deep sea animals and some of the weird things that they find at the bottom of the see are amazing. They are adapted to living thousands of meters below the surface, in the cold and dark!

      I haven’t been able to go that far, but you can see some amazing animals in rock pools. The most amazing one I studied is a sea cucumber. YEP a SEA CUCUMBER! (you can’t eat it) but it is an almost see-through sea creature which has bits that glow on it and it fishes for food with its body!?

      Very interesting! What about you?
