"Nudibranchs are sea slugs that can be found all around the world." The author, Leann Annett, introduces us briefly to Nudibranchs in her book, 12 Great Barrier Reef Animals which is also good, by the way. In this book however, the author goes into much greater detail about these amazing animals! Along with viewing some amazing photos, I can pretty much guarantee that you will come away from reading this book with your eyes open a little wider and your brain having learned stuff that you never knew about before. Who would have thought there were SO many different types of Nudibranchs? 3000 in fact! Some have been found at depths of 2300 feet!Nudibranchs (pronounced Noo - de - brank) belong to the Mollusk family. They are carnivores but don't worry as they are not going to eat you! Did you know that they are neither male or female but do need to mate in order to reproduce? A few of the Nudibranch species are: Pikachu (yes, like in Pokemon), Pajama, Purple Dorid and Spanish Dancer. At the end of the book there is a Fun Nudibranch Fact Page consisting of 13 facts.A truly fascinating, well written and illustrated book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from our house to yours!
