Movement
Movement is really important for all
animals.
It means they can:
• Find food
• Escape things trying to eat them
• Find a mate.
Make out the movement
Animals can move in lots of
different ways:
• Crabs move by running sideways
• Fish move by moving their tail
from side to side
• Octopus move by pulling
themselves along on their legs or
by sucking water in and blowing it
out again.
Make out the movement
Animals can also move at
very different speeds:
• The Sailfish can swim at a
top speed of 115km per
hour!
• Barnacles attach
themselves to a rock and
can only move very slowly.
Acting like an animal
Look at the pictures of the

Work out how you think the
animals move and act out
that movement.

The senses
Fish also have another
sense.
They have a line on their
body which helps them to
feel vibrations given off by
other animals around them.
The senses
Other animals also have
specially developed senses
to help them live underwater.
For example, seals have very
good hearing which they use
to work out where other
animals are underwater.
The senses
A shark’s sense of smell is so
good that he can smell a
drop of blood from over 100
metres away!
