__Different habitats found there:__ In the ocean you can find a number of different habitats. Firstly there are a number of different places in the ocean like the shallow tropical waters and the abyss. There are also different oceans in different parts of the world, like, there are some up in the north pole which would be really cold and there are oceans by the equator which are tropical and warm. I the tropical waters you can find coral reefs and different animals there than the polar oceans.

__ My 4 chosen animals: __

=
WHERE A GIANT PACIFIC OCTOPUS LIVES: They live in coral reefs or on the ocean floor. It is found is mostly found in more tropical warm parts of the ocean rather than the more cold ares of the ocean. It is found in coral reefs and the ocean floor so it can camoflage from its predetors and so it can catch its prey easier. ======

=
WHAT DOES A GIANT PACIFC OCTOPUS EAT: They normally eat clams, clams, crabs, snails, other octopuses, lobsters, shimp and small fish. Even though they normally eat smaller anialmals they do sometimes attack and eat sharks and birds. ======

=
WHERE A GREAT WHITE SHARK LIVES: They live around rocky shores so they can feed on seals. They also live in cold parts the ocean, but, somrtimes found in the warmer ares of the ocean. ======

=
WHAT A GREAT WHITE SHARK EATS: A great white shark eats seals, fish and sea lions. They somrtimes eat dolphins and humans, they eat humans because when they wear wetsuits they look like seals so a shark would attack them thinking they are a seal. ======

WHAT EATS A GREAT WHITE SHARK: Humans catch great white sharks for food, bait and they use their bones for jewllery.
__Green Sea Turtle:__

WHERE A GREEN SEA TURTLE LIVES: Green sea turtles are found in shallow waters like, coral reefs and lagoons. They live close to the shore so they can lay their eggs. WHAT A GREEN SEA TURTLE EATS: Green sea turtles are manly herbivores so they manly eat sea weed and alge. The young will also eat sponges, crabs, fish eggs, plankton and jellyfish WHAT EATS A GREEN SEA TURTLE: The young of the green sea turtle are eaten by sea birds and crabs. When the young are swimming out to sea they are sometimes caught in fishing nets from commercial fishing. The adults are eaten by sharks and sometimes by humans. __Spotted Dolphin:__  WHERE A SPOTTED DOLPHIN LIVES: Spotted dolphins live in tropical parts of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans, in the oceans they are found in deep waters. WHAT A SPOTTED DOLPHIN EATS: Spotted dolphins eat a large range of fish, eels and squid. They sometimes eat crustaceans. They normally feed on the fish ans squid near the surface of the water. WHAT EATS A SPOTTED DOLPHIN: Spotted dolphins are eaten by sharks and killer whales. They are sometimes caught in commercial fishing nets when people are fishing for tuna and other fish. __Abiotic factors found in the ocean__
 * Sand
 * Temperature
 * Water
 * Rocks and stones
 * Shells

__Where similar biomes are found on the planet:__

Similar biomes are found all over the world. There are lakes found in forests, rainforests, craters on volcanoes, in cities and in towns. There are swamps found in forests, rainforests, rivers, near the sea and lakes. There are rivers found cities/towns, rainforests, forests, mountains and on volcanoes. There are polar regions found at the northen and southen parts of the world. __Threats to the ocean and animals that live there.__

Threats to the ocean is rubbish, because turtles and other sea animals mistake plastic bags for jellyfish or other food and animals like dolphins also get trapped in old fishing nets and they can't get to the surface and breathe so the end up dieing. Another threat is oil spills that is a threat because seabirds get oil in their feathers and they can't fly or open their mouth to eat. The other one is drag net fishing because they over fish and they get a lot of the baby fish and they catch dolpins and whales in the nets. BIBLIOGRAPHY [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
