What are some cool facts about fish?

Answer 1

1. Sea turtles absorb a lot of salt from the sea water in which they live. They excrete excess salt from their eyes, so it often looks as though they're crying.
2. Only one out of a thousand baby sea turtles survives after hatching.
3. Prehistoric turtles may have weighed as much as 5,000 pounds.
4. Turtles have no teeth.
5. As it gets older the cockle just adds another layer to its outer shell. To work out their age you can count the rings on them just like a tree.
6. A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.
7. A male Angler fish attaches itself to a female and never lets go. Their vascular systems unite and the male becomes entirely dependent on the female's blood for nutrition.
8. Beavers can hold their breathe for 45 minutes under water.
9. The sailfish is the fastest swimmer, reaching 109 km/h (68 mph).
10. The slowest fish is the Sea Horse, which moves along at about 0.016 km/h (0.01 mph).
11. The heart of a blue whale is the size of a small car.
12. The tongue of a blue whale is as long as an elephant.

14. Fish and insects do not have eyelids - their eyes are protected by a hardened lens.
