ATING ALAMIN: Favorite ko po sa Japanese restaurant ang
okonomiyaki. Gawa raw po ito sa octopus.
Hindi ko po alam na edible pala ito.
Alam nyo bang ang isang octopus ay kayang magluwal ng 56,000
eggs at one time?
Inaalagaan ng mother octopus ang kanyang mga itlog sa loob ng anim na buwan. Hindi niya ito kinakain, sa halip ay pinoprotektahan sa kalaban.
Ang mga babies na ito ay singlaki lamang ng isang butil ng bigas pagkapanganak. Over time, lumalaki ang mga ito na mala-higante.
Our image of sharks, no thanks to movies and other media, is usually focused on these animals always attacking people.
According to Sea Creature Facts for Children, there are many types of sharks, including the great white, mako, nurse shark, tiger shark, bull shark and the more unusual hammerhead.
Sharks have no bones in their bodies. Instead, they have a skeletal system that is only made up of cartilage.
Baby sharks, known as pups, are born ready to take care of themselves.
The great white shark is the deadliest known shark, and it is the only shark that is warm-blooded.
TRIVIA PA MORE (Various Sources): Dolphins are among the most intelligent mammals.
They eat meat and live in groups of up to 12, called pods. The killer whale (orca) is actually a species of dolphin, not a whale.
