Species of plants and animals

Made by: Sarah Pace, Form 2 gamma

Introduction

In this project, I shall be showing different animal

species-all unique and special in their own way. I

shall be focusing mainly on shells and crabs

which are normally found in the Mediterranean

sea.

Different types of mollusks: Univalves

This shell is called a

conch. It is a type of

mollusk – a univalve

mollusk. This means

that the shell is made

up of one piece.

Other types of univalve mollusks:

By looking at the first and second pictures, u will be able to see three examples of murex

trapa.Whilst in the third picture

there are four mollusks, which consist of: two

shells which are a type of whelk, a cowry and a

scotch bonnet.

Here, The first picture is

showing a scotch

bonnet. Whilst in the

second picture we have

an example of an

Abalone (or as

sometimes also referred

to as donkey’s ear).

In picture 1, we have an

example of a

wentletrap.

In picture 2 (in the

middle), there are two

augers.

Different types of mollusks : Bivalves

In picture 1, we can see two different shell halves. These are

called bivalves because the shell is

made up of two pieces.

In picture 2, there is a joined bivalve shell.

Snails

Obviously, snails are

also mollusks.

The first picture on the

right shows a common

sea snail.

Crabs

The crab, also known as the crustacean. On the

right, there are examples of a stone

crab.

Crabs

Here are some crab body parts. The first picture shows two claws of different

stone crabs. Whilst in the second picture

there is a big claw of an other type of stone

crab.

Fish

Fish, on the other hand have nothing to do

with crabs and mollusks. They have scaly skins and a fin tail. These pictures show a four-toothed sparus and its teeth.

Fish

These two pictures, are showing a sparus and

its teeth.

Lobsters

Like other sea creatures,

lobsters aren’t all the

same : there are

different types.

This is an example of a

Maine lobster.
