We just learned about the American Hog-Nosed Skunk, and a lot of other animals in that same family.
Let's learn about some different kinds of starfish!
One type of starfish is the Astropecten Aranciacus.
This starfish lives in the east part of the Atlantic ocean, and also in the Mediterranean Sea.
It lives right by the coast, and when the water goes out for low tide it buries itself into the sand.
The top of this animal is reddish orange with some yellow, and the bottom is all white.
It has two sets of spiney pokey parts on the outside of its legs called inferomarginal spines and superomarginal spines.
For food these starfish eat molluscs by crawling over them and then using their mouth on the bottom to eat them.
