STARFISH

Starfish or sea stars are star-shaped echinoderms


belonging to the class Asteroidea. Common usage
frequently finds these names being also applied to
ophiuroids, which are correctly referred to as brittle
stars or basket stars. Starfish are also known as asteroids
due to being in the class Asteroidea.
TURTLE

Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines,


characterized by a special shell developed mainly
from their ribs. Modern turtles are divided into two major
groups, the Pleurodira (side necked turtles) and Cryptodira
(hidden necked turtles), which differ in the way the head
retracts.
OCTOPUS

An octopus is a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc


of the order Octopoda. The order consists of some
300 species and is grouped within the class Cephalopoda
with squids, cuttlefish, and nautiloids. Like other
cephalopods, an octopus is bilaterally symmetric with two eyes
and a beaked mouth at the center point of the eight limbs.
