The Five Oceans

An ocean is a huge body of salty water. There are five oceans that are all connected, but different animals like to live in different parts!


The oceans and their animals:

  • Pacific Ocean – home to the Sea Otter and the Giant Octopus.
  • Atlantic Ocean – home to the Humpback Whale and the Manatee.
  • Indian Ocean – home to the Clownfish and the Great White Shark.
  • Southern Ocean – home to the Emperor Penguin and the Leopard Seal.
  • Arctic Ocean – home to the Narwhal (the unicorn of the sea!) and the Walrus.

💡 Fun Facts

  • Tiny plants living in the ocean create more than half of the air we breathe on Earth.
  • The deepest parts of the ocean are pitch black, so some creatures, like the Anglerfish, make their own light to attract food.
  • Many ocean animals migrate; Grey Whales swim thousands of miles every year to move between cold waters for feeding and warm waters to have their babies.
