Department!
Here you will learn about……………

Grrr!!!
Tiny living things can be found anywhere…on your table, on

The Angler Fish
gets its name from
the spine that
supports a lightproducing organ that
hangs from it’s head/

produces a bluegreen light similar to
that of a firefly on
land.

fingerprints have ever
been found …
…unless they are from
identical twins!

shoes but not your
fingerprints as they
