Fish have been around for more than 500 million years! 🌊 That’s WAY longer than dinosaurs!

Did you know that there are over 33,000 species of fish? 🐠 From tiny little minnows to giant whale sharks, there’s a fish for every size and shape!

Fish don’t have eyelids 😲, so they can’t blink! Instead, their eyes stay open all the time. Some fish even have “eyebrows” made of special scales!

Fish breathe through gills instead of lungs, which helps them take in oxygen from the water 🌊. Without gills, they wouldn’t be able to live underwater!

The fastest fish in the ocean is the sailfish! 🏃‍♂️ It can swim at speeds of up to 68 miles per hour—that’s faster than most cars go on the highway!

Some fish can glow in the dark! 🌟 This is called bioluminescence, and it helps fish attract mates or scare off predators. It’s like their own underwater flashlight!

Clownfish, like the ones in Finding Nemo, live in sea anemones 🐠🌸. The anemones’ stinging tentacles don’t hurt the clownfish because they have a special slime coating on their skin.

Fish can communicate with each other by making sounds! 🎶 Some fish make popping, grunting, or even clicking noises to talk to their friends.

The longest fish in the world is the whale shark! 🦈 It can grow up to 40 feet long—longer than a school bus!

Some fish, like the parrotfish, sleep in a “bubble” 💤. They make a protective bubble around themselves to keep away predators at night.
