Our New, Improved Creature Corner

BY: Emily Fisher

What do Harlequin Sweetlips, Scurvy-grass, and Limey’s Petticoat have in common? No, they’re not figments of J.K. Rowling’s imagination, they’re examples of marine life in our new comprehensive and searchable online ocean encyclopedia. The new content comes from the book Ocean by Dorling Kindersley, the world’s leading family reference publisher — you will know the red DK logo when you see it. From cnidarians to mollusks to mammals, DK has provided us with information about more than 500 ocean creatures for you to explore. You’ll learn how to distinguish a tasseled wobbegong from a seaweed-covered rock, and why a killer whale is actually a dolphin. So go on, check it out!
