They have many adaptations that allow them to live in a world that is so different than ours. They endure low oxygen and a high pressure environment, that exerts pressure on their body all the time. They deal with the resistance of the water, changes in temperature throughout the year, and must complete many tasks without the use of any hands. No copy and paste, you must put it all into your own words and cite the URL after each paragraph. Example…The carpet shark lives on the bottom and has a downturned mouth (www.
