Ocean Animals and Their Habitats

Big Book

“Imagine”

Imagine all the animals living in the oceans around the world swimming, breeching, jumping, scurrying. Imagine if you can.

Imagine all the mammals migrating here and there Arctic, Pacific, cold, to warm. Imagine if you can.

Imagine all the habitats where ocean animals live along the sandy beaches across the surface waters on the ocean floors among the rocks and seaweed. Imagine if you can.

Imagine all the ways they protect themselves from enemies. Hiding, attacking, paralyzing, camouflaging. Imagine if you can.

Imagine ways we can help protect our ocean friends respecting, recycling, and keeping the oceans clean. Imagine if you can.

Indian comes in third,

And Artic is last.

There are 4 oceans in the world.

Can you learn more?

Let’s try and see.

Pacific is the deepest,

Artic is most shallow,

Indian is the warmest,

And Atlantic is most salty!

Now you’ve learned the oceans.

Do you know them all?

Ocean Animal Food Chain

Tune: “Itsy Bitsy Spider”

Itsy, bitsy plankton

Floating in the sea.

Along comes the krill

And eats it easily.

Next comes the tuna fish

Who’s eaten by the seal.

The Great White Shark

Then finishes up the meal!

Marine Biologist Bugaloo

I’m a marine biologist and I’m here to say,

I study ocean animals’ everyday.

Sometimes I write a paper, sometimes I read a book,

But usually I just go and take a look.

Hydrophones, scuba gear, boats too,

Doing the marine biologist BUGALOO!

I study sharks and their prey,

Octopus and sea stars are invertebrates.

Life in the ocean, what a sight!

But remember way down deep, there is no light!

Hydrophones, scuba gear, boats too,

Doing the marine biologist BUGALOO!

In the ocean, it’s easy to see,

Mammals migrate from sea to sea.

Some are baleen and eat krill.

But the killer whale likes to eat a seal.

Doing the marine biologist BUGALOO!

Baleen Whales

Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”

I’m a big baleen whale, long and stout.

Here are two holes where I breathe out.

I do not have teeth; I have baleen.

I eat plankton in the sea.

I’m a big baleen whale, long and stout.

Going along my migration route.

I’m swimming slowly near the coast.

You can see me from your boats.

I’m a big baleen whale, long and stout.

My tail flukes help me move about.

I can use my flippers to help me steer.

I’ll come to Hawaii again next year.
