Northern Fur Seal
Mood:  energetic
Topic: Ocean Life

My name is Pup. I like to play with my best friend named Riley. My mom is going to get me some fish for dinner. I am almost four months old so I will have to get my own fish soon. I can float and sleep at the same time. My dad mostly sits on rocks all day. I see some big fish jumping out of the water. Soon I will be just as big as that fish. Dinner is almost here, I can't wait! Riley and I play catch with a crab shell that we ate this morning. I only have 25 years to live. My mom is here, I have to go now!!

Dolphinsssssss
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Ocean Life

Dolphins have to be conscious to breathe. This means that they can't go into a full deep sleep because they would suffocate. when dolphins sleep only one half of their brains sleep at a time so they won't fall into a full deep sleep. They sleeps for 8 hours a day.

Bottlenose dolphins eat different kinds of fish like mullet mackerel, herring cod and squid. What they eat depends on what kind of food is available in the area they live in and also what is in season. The deepest dive a bottlenose dolphin ever did was 300 meters (990 feet). Tuffy was the name of the dolphin that did this dive. Tuffy was trained by the US Navy. Most likely dolphins do not dive that deep.

If I Were A Shark
Mood:  chillin'
Topic: Ocean Life

If I were a shark, I would still hunt in order for me to eat and to feed my young. I would still want to be one of the most feared animals in the sea. I would want the other animals to be scared of me but not human beings, but i would not want the human beings to hunt me and try to kill me. I am a friendly shark.
