Fun facts:
The tang fish is well-adapted for its natural habitat in the coral reefs.
Tang fish prefer to travel and feed together in large schools, perhaps as a means of overwhelming other fish that jealously protect algae spots.
Some species have the ability to lie motionless and “play dead” until a predator passes.
The following three patterns are for jellies. We call them jellyfish, but they are not true fish as they are invertebrates.

Playful Braille:
Our jellyfish ate so much braille that he had to spend the night hiding in the library. He gobbled up the alphabet, all of the single-cell contractions, many of the punctuation marks, and a few extra dots for dessert!
What do you think the jellyfish did next?
How many words or names can you find in his belly?

Drawing Note:
The jellyfish can be divided in half between cells fifteen and sixteen. What you see and touch on the left side is mirrored on his right side.
If you fold the jellyfish in half vertically, so that the left half forms a ninety degree angle, it is like looking in a mirror and seeing the reflection.
The reflection is the reverse image.
If you cut the page in half vertically and lay the pages on top of each other so that the dots touch, that’s like looking straight into a mirror–the images are reversed.
Like jellies, rays are not true fish.

Drawing Notes:
The ray is swimming toward the top of the page. The tail is curved as it swims away from the bottom of the page. Stingrays have long, whip-like tails with barbs or stings for defense.
Fun Facts:
Stingrays are present in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors as there are 220 species of this animal. The stingray’s body can be diamond shaped with more prominent pectoral fins. There are also round rays like the Atlantic stingray. Their eyes are on top of their body, and their mouths are on the undersides of their bodies.
Depending on the species of stingray, they can be small, like the ten-inch, five-pound Atlantic stingray, or quite big, like giant freshwater rays, which can get up to 800 pounds and reach a width of eight feet. The longtail stingray is noted because the whip-like tail measures more than twice as long as the body.
