The mystery of the "assassins" under the sea!
Unit 1: "Assassin" case record
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of "underwater assassins"? A deadly killer hidden in the shadows of the sea, or a magical creature with a mysterious weapon hidden on its body?
In the first unit, go to the bottom of the sea, get to know the "Assassin Family", and learn about the morphological characteristics of the "Assassin Family" around you - "Echinoderm" Assassins, "Arthropod" Assassins, "Shellfish" Assassins and "Fish" Assassins.
Unit 2: The "Assassins" Alliance
In addition to the huge "Assassin Family", the members of the "League of Assassins" are all equipped with unique skills, such as sailfish, swordfish, and marlin, known as the "Three Musketeers of the Sea", a narwhal with a single "tooth", and a sea urchin covered with thorns...... More members are waiting for you to come to meet on site.
Aspect 1: Sea urchins covered in thorns
The spines of sea urchins combine with warts to form movable joints that can move freely, and have the functions of protection, movement and feeding.
Aspect 2: Rampant and domineering crabs
The spines of crabs are usually concentrated on the legs, and some crabs have spines all over the body, which have the function of defense and attack.
Aspect 3: Huge lobsters
The spines of shrimp are mainly concentrated in the cephalothorax and have the function of defense and attack.
Aspect 4: The Three Musketeers of the Ocean
In the mysterious ocean, there is also such a group of "swordsmen", who use their sharp "long swords" to break through the deep ocean.
The sailfish is huge, and its "long sword" is not only good for swimming, but also a predator.
The swordfish is generally 3 meters long, with a maximum length of 5 meters, and its snout is long and pointed, accounting for about one-third of its total length.
The marlin is elongated, up to four meters, with its first dorsal fin towering like a swordfish at the front and a long and short back.
Aspect 5: A narwhal with a single tree and a "tooth".
Male narwhals have a long, spiral-shaped "horn" on their head, which can reach up to 3 meters in length.
