Now add up how many A’s, B’s, C’s, D’s and E’s you got… then scroll down for the result!
Mostly A’s: Octopus
With nine brains, eight arms, three hearts and blue blood, octopuses are a myriad of intrigue, intelligence, and have even predicted the future. They’re also masters of camouflage and mimicking other marine life in order to escape predators or catch dinner.
Mostly B’s: Dolphin
Dolphins are known for their playful, acrobatic nature and can gather in superpods of over 1,000 individuals. They use echolocation to hunt and communicate — a skill that even humans have imitated (at a basic level, at least).
Mostly C’s: Shark
Sharks can be found along reefs and across open oceans, with some even relying on swimming to breathe. While they have an undeserved reputation for being scary, they’re unquestionably action-packed, with excellent night vision, healing abilities, and an unrivalled history.
Mostly D’s: Pufferfish
A pufferfish’s inflation trick is actually a clever defence mechanism, but if that doesn’t work, the tetrodotoxin they contain is 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide — making them one of the world’s most toxic sea creatures. They also like to impress mates with artistic creations.
Mostly E’s: Whale
Often found in colder waters, these mammals are gentle giants; the blue whale is the largest creature on earth weighing nearly 200 tons. Whales are famous for their captivating songs, impressive breath-holding dives, and close-knit social connections.
