You will research that animal's:

• scientific name
• length
• weight
• habitat
• migration habits
• diet
• if it is poisonous
• enemies
• life span
• mammal or fish
• how it breathes
• special body features (blowholes, echolocation, etc.)
• what males, females, and babies are called
• group travel
• how it moves through the water
• reproduction

Each of these catagories will be written about in your report. You will also find one color picture of your ocean animal to put on your poster.
