"Splendors of the Seas boasts photographs taken all over the world, from locations including the Arctic seas, the Great Barrier Reef, Borneo, and others. Norbert Wu captures on film the creatures that inhabit the earth's oceans. We see evidence of the protective relationship forged between colorful clownfish and stinging anemones living in a bustling coral reef; we follow dolphins and blue sharks tirelessly traveling the waters of the open ocean off the coast of California; we travel 3,000 feet down to discover viperfish and dragonfish illuminating the deep sea with their bodies' own pulsating light sources; and we find sea otters, jellyfish, wolf eels, manta rays, and a host of other exotic animals living and active in their underwater communities. The book is divided into sections by habitat - Open Ocean, Coral Reef, Sand Community, Kelp Forest, and Deep Sea - so that creatures are introduced in the context of their natural environment."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
