Description
Coral reefs are home to some of the world's most colorful and unusual plant and animal life. By comparison, the shallow, sandy bottom of the reef seems as bare and lifeless as a desert. But wait - a closer look reveals that this desert beneath the sea is actually filled with amazing and rare animals! Most of them are experts at hiding themselves in the sand or in the water so that they are nearly invisible. Marine biologist Eugenie Clark, well known for her shark research, and underwater enthusiast, author Ann McGovern introduce young readers to jumping sand grains, long-nose sea moths, poisonous lionfish, garden eels, and many other mysterious creature that make the underwater world a fascinating place to learn about. - from Amzon
