ones. The pig-nosed fish from Hawaii the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a or
Humuhumus fish lives in the coral reefs, can swim backwards and has
eyes that move independently. There's creatures that live in the
depths of the oceans - like the blobfish whose diet is unknown and
the oarfish that can grow up to seventeen metres long. Take time to
