Seals live in the ocean, but they breathe air just as dogs, whales, and you do. Like those animals, seals are mammals. Some seals are the size of small cars. Other seals are no bigger than the average dog.

Seals are excellent swimmers. Their bodies are flexible. They have flippers at the ends of their arms and legs to help them swim. Some seals can swim as fast as 25 miles (40 kilometers) per hour. Others can dive down hundreds of feet. These seals can store enough oxygen to stay underwater for more than two hours.

Seals don’t walk well on land. Some seals can waddle along by swinging their flippers back and forth. Other seals have to flop around on their bellies to move on land. Some seals use their flippers as paddles to slide across ice. These seals can slide along as fast as 16 miles (25 kilometers) per hour!

Mature males have a darker color on the belly. They have no scales. The mouth is square. The anal fin extends the length of the body to the tip pf the tail.

When the eels locate the prey, the brain sends a signal through the nervous system to the electric cells. The electric eels are capable of producing a shock at up to 500 volts and 1 ampere of current. Such a shock could be deadly for an adult human.

Chameleons

There are 80 different types of chameleons in the world, most of which are to be found in Africa, South of the Sahara desert. The common chameleon ranges from the middle East, along the North African coast to Southern Spain.

The chameleon is a slow-moving lizard which hunts for insects among trees and undergrowth. One of its peculiar features is its eyes, which are  set in two conical sockets and can move independently of one another. This enable the chameleon to look behind with one eye and in front with the other.

Chameleons are well-known for their ability to change colour. The skin and body markings change colour to match the surroundings. Among the plants, for example, the chameleon is very difficult to spot among foliage. When the chameleon spots an insect which it thinks would make a fine meal, it shoot out a long, sticky tongue and draws its prey back into its mouth.
