Everlasting Flowers
Anemones look like colorful flowers, but they are animals.
|
 |
| Their
beautiful petals are actually tentacles with poisonous barbs, which
can kill small crabs, fishes, and plankton that are their prey. |
 |
| Anemones
can live for several hundred years if they are not disturbed. |
