The Feely Eely

WHACK, WHACK, WHACK!  Looks like the Feely Eely was hungry. Watch out!   If you pass a dark whole in the sea it might get you… WHACK!  This is a sneaky creature.

The Feely Eely is an extremely odd looking animal. It has a hammer head shark's head that is as dark and gloomy as a rainy day. Also, the skin of the head is rough and hard as a rock. The Feely Eely has an eel body that slithers around like a snake and has green skin that is slick and slimy like touching a long slug. Finally, it has a pair of human hands that are as golden as light bulbs. Since the Feely Eely has human hands it is able to catch fast swimming fish.

The Feely Eely eats like a pig at an all you can eat buffet. First it eats tiny shrimp-like fish called plankton that squirm in the Eely's hands. Luckily the Feely Eely finds its fish right outside its home. So, once the Feely Eely feels hungry, it will wait for a fish to swim across its hole and will grab the fish with its hands. Then the Eely will whack the fish with its hammerhead and gobble up the fish. Since the Feely Eely eats outside its home it has to have a special house.

The Feely Eely is kind to its surrounding land. It lives off the coast of Mexico. To be exact it lives right in the Gulf of Mexico, but its actual home is in the coral reef in a hole. It goes so deep in that an octopus could stretch out all eight legs and they would all fit inside. Lastly the Feely Eely did not have to do anything to make its home because the hole was already in a coral reef. The Eely lives in a perfect place in a nice humble home.

When you hear a WHACK in the sea you know that the Feely Eely is done eating, don't be so sure. The Feely Eely is a mysterious creature. Always remember if you are swimming in the sea and you see a hammer lurking around, GET OUT!

Fish Tur-Crab

"Hey is that who I think it is? I'm pretty sure. It’s Fish Tur-crab! The great sea creature? Yeah!" These are just a few things you'll here on the beaches in California. This unique creature is very talented & absolutely adorable. Though he has big, huge claws he's not dangerous at all.

This aquatic animal is curious and very glamorous. If there was an award for most elegant, he would win. TC has a head of a turtle. He has eyes as black as night that twinkles like the sun. Most under water animal's eyes don't twinkle. His head is as soft and smooshy as a pillow. Though TC's head is short and small his tail is long, flowing, and sparkles like gems and rhinestones. Along with his fish tail he has a turtle shell. The shell is rough and rocky with many shimmering greens. Finally he has crab like hands, the of color of cheery red tomatoes. His hands are also used for making sushi.

TC is an amazing creature who eats amazingly weird food! His second favorite food is salmon & coral, but his favorite food is sushi! He loves sushi so much he would do anything to have it, and I mean anything! To get the sushi he likes he goes to a restaurant off the coast of California, other than that there's sushi all around him. Most of the time the people feed them or TC makes it him self. Fish Tur-crabs are so good at making sushi the restaurant almost hired him. Other than being a good cook he's a great weaver.

Fish Tur-crabs have wonderful homes made from a few under water things. Most of these creatures live in California, but some live in Hawaii, Florida, or the Bahamas. Though you think the states they live in are beautiful, people should see their houses, because they're incredible! TC's house is like a mansion made of sand. The roof is made of seashells and is very colorful. For example there are colors like aqua, violet, turquoise, and rouge. Everything inside is made of seaweed all woven together, like pots, pans, beds, blankets and tons more. These unique things are made by the Fish Tur- crabs them selves. Many people already know this, but Fish Tur-crabs is an aquatic animal.

Most of California knows TC, but many don't. All in all Fish Tur- crabs is a fascinating creature & a great weaver.

The Bulb Fish by Leslie

"Wow." Look at that bright, colorful, Bulb fish. That amazing shade of yellow, really catches your attention. I'd enjoy having one of those spectacular creatures as a loving pet. The Bulb fish is probably such a bright color yellow, that it could light up a whole town without the help of another Bulb fish!! The Bulb fish is an amazing animal, and you must go to see this bright creature.

The Bulb fish, (also known as the Buf) is a very wondrous creature, with many special features. Her head and her body are both a light bulb, that is bright as the sun, and yellow as a lemon. Also, on the bottom of the light bulb it's a light gray. On the light bulb head she has 2 dark, bold, and shimmering eyes. Also, she has a dark, black, and happy smile. (They don't have a nose) The Buf looks kind of funny because it's a small light bulb with ears, fins, 2 eyes, no nose, and a cute mouth!! As I have noted, the Buf has fluffy, brown as dirt, puppy ears. For example, her puppy ears are even fluffier than a bunnies cotton cottontail. (those are fluffy) Lastly, are the Bulb fish's gray as a cloud fins. Their fins that are connected to the light bulb body, are smooth as a baby's skin. You wouldn't find anything smoother!! Although, the Buf is a mini fish, it's home is very large.

The Bulb fish's habitat is a very wondrous, snowy, and cold place. All Bulb fish are only found in the Pacific Ocean, and anywhere near the shore of Alaska. You won't find them anywhere else. Furthermore, their houses look like, great, underwater paradises. Since the Buf lives in a very snowy, cold, and watery place, it's very easy to find it's favorite foods.

Bulb fish only eats 3 things, and if it can't find them, then it may die. The Buf eats snow, plankton, and seaweed. It's favorite is snow, but it still loves seaweed and plankton. It gets the snow by rolling up to the shore of Alaska, and then finds a snowy place. It's very simple to get the snow. To get the plankton and the seaweed, it dives down (way down) to the bottom of the ocean. The Bulb fish gets the plankton by sitting on the bottom of the ocean floor, opens its mouth, and the plankton crawl in. Lastly, the Buf gets seaweed by pulling it out of the ground. It's very easy to get plankton and seaweed too. As I have noted, the Buf gets snow off of the shore of Alaska and it gets both seaweed and plankton off of the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. As a result, the Bulb fish only eats plankton, seaweed, and snow.

"Whoosh." There goes the Bulb fish with its amazing features. I wish I could get a Bulb fish for Christmas. I would also want to live in the town that the Buf could light up all on its own. To conclude, this amazingly, spectacular creature, is really a sight to see.
