Sea creatures are the focus of this quiz.!

“I felt the full breadth and depth of the ocean around the sphere of the Earth, back billions of years to the beginning of life, across all the passing lives and deaths, the endless waves of swimming joy and quiet losses of exquisite creatures with fins and fronds, tentacles and wings, colorful and transparent, tiny and huge, coming and going. There is nothing the ocean has not seen.” — Sally Andrew, Writer

The ocean is a mysterious place. It is less explored than space, it is said. Scientists are only now developing the technology to explore some of those vast, deep parts of the sea. Now is an exciting time for ocean exploration.

There are five questions in this quiz. The answers can be found in my past posts about each of these terrifying sea creatures. Venture on if you dare. Read those posts if you want a head’s up!
