Did you know that sea anemones reproduce simply by splitting into two? Or that a ribbon worm can live without food for up to a year? That sea hares are actually modified snails? Or that you can hypnotize an octopus?
Covering everything from sponges to crabs, birds, and algae, Seashore Life of India introduces us to the plant and animal life along India`s coastline. Descriptions of the animals are arranged in order of complexity, and include marine animals across eight phyla”Porifera, Coelenterata, Bryozoa, Annelida, Arthopoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata, and Chordata. A colour section shows these creatures in their natural habitat, and the Introduction and glossary provide interesting additional information.
