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.

Lobsters On the other hand, this is a spiny lobster
