Our
Earth’s surface is covered by water up to 71%.
Even thought the ocean’s surface is exploited
for fishing, transportation and scientific researches,
the deepest part of the world’s oceans continues
to be untouched by any humans. The deepest seas has
many untold mysteries, legends and stories which keep
Mankind asking for more and searching for answers for
thousands of questions.
For millions and millions of years, the sea has been
a virtual laboratory for the progression of development.
The outcome of nature's research can be found all the
way through the world's seas.The coralreef
is a showcase for these fantastic creatures. Fishes
are available in various shapes and abilities. Even
these are look not like fishes,it will be eels, long
emaciated fish that look more like snakes.
There are pufferfish that really swell like balloons
to avoid being eaten by predators. There are the seahorses,
which is one of the most unusual fish designs on the
reef. And believe it or not, it is actually the male
seahorse that gives birth to the young. There are even
seahorses that look like seaweed. Concealment has grown
into an art form here on the coral reef. There are fishes
that look like rocks and fishes that look like plants.
Even knowledgeable divers can be deceived by some of
these creative costumes. The knack of poison has also
attained new heights on the reef.
Many
underseawater residents have urbanized strong poisons
as a means of security. Some species carry enough toxin
in their bodies to kill several men. The world of the
coral reef is one of the most different environmental
units on our planet. The complete number of life figure
out on the reef rivals even that of the stifling rain
forests. Built over thousands of years by tiny calcium-producing
organisms, the reefs are a haven for countless thousands
of life forms, some of which seem absolutely extraterrestrial
in form. It is a goblin tale world of dazzling colors
and ever altering patterns. Only on the coral reef can
one find living examples from nearly every group of
organisms representing a billion years of evolution.
Some of the oldest reefs today began growing over 25
million years ago. Diving on a coral reef is like entering
another world.
