Some of the images you’ll see were taken with special cameras. There are some kinds of light that our eyes can’t see, like UV rays (the kind that give you sunburn) so we use these cameras to take pictures of the Sun, sort of like an X-ray machine takes pictures of your bones.

Dive to the deep sea with National Geographic!

We are learning about adaptations in the deep sea. The cookie cutter shark’s adaptation is having a suction mouth and really sharp teeth that are connected to each other. The Cuvier’s beaked whale has two teeth on the bottom of its mouth for fighting. The sperm whale has a “floating head”. There is a chemical in its head that helps it float. The giant squid is really big and it hides lower down in the ocean so you can’t see it.
