a month's time the breeding
season will start
and then fights will be
But now in mid-summer these
exchanges are
They're just playing
Many of the creatures that
shelter in the
have to venture out in order to feed
A , for one
Unlikely though it seems,
the floor of the open sea is,
for the , a rich feeding ground
There is food hidden within the sand
and the has a special
technique for finding it
uses jets of water to blow the sand
aside and expose small
A hangs about alongside,
waiting for
Other hunters are also
The fan tailed sole
There are shrimps here,
living in tunnels
But once again, hunger compels
them to venture into the open
That, of course, is
They will either eat...
...or be eaten
A , called Janolus
colours suggest that it's
and so it is,
to everything except another
kind of
the Navanax
Navanax pulls itself along the trail of
that Janolus leaves behind it
Once caught, Janolus rolls
into a ball...
All Navanax gets is a few
yellow
And Janolus is swept to safety
by the current
lt's now mid-summer and the sun
is shining at full strength
The increasing warmth is the cue
for an Atlantic
to start on a long journey
She has spent the winter 250 metres down,
far beyond the reach of the storms
But it was cold down there and
now she needs to find warmer water,
so she's marching towards
the shallows
They, however, are 1 50 kilometres away
After a month of walking she finally
arrives at her favoured
But she's not the first here
Dozens of other have already
dug themselves homes in the sand
and they don't intent to
them to
Size counts for everything
in these battles
