Solo summary statement.

The fish is an amazing creature. It lives in a dangerous, dark place called the ocean.

It has many predators such as the shark and larger fish but often live to old age.

Why? I will explain why fish function so well in the water.

Firstly, it has a caudal fin at the back of the body that helps propel it in the water to move it forward. It also has an operculum that protects the gills. Fish use gills to breathe. It also has another fin called the pelvic fin which helps it steer, stop and hover.

If it didn’t have a part such as the lateral line, one piece of his abilities would be gone. Say for instance, the lateral line was not there, it would not be able to sense prey and larger predators such as the shark. It would cause fish to be eaten. If it didn’t have a mouth it wouldn’t be able to eat and would die of starvation.

A fish reminds me of jelly like the one I caught on camp. It jiggled like jelly because it was trying to get air and couldn’t breathe.

Overall, fish are amazing because they can dive and swim in the water without taking a breath. I wish I could do that apart from not being able to go on land and being hunted by sharks.
