Down,+Down,+Down



Steve Jenkins takes the reader from the surface of the ocean down, down, down to the ocean’s floor. Along the way are some of the most extreme and unusual animals on Earth. At 33 feet below the surface is the Mola Mola, at 164 feet, the largest shark on the planet, the whale shark. The deeper one goes, the stranger the creatures. At 1640 feet below the surface most of the fish are luminescent and the ocean floor at 13,000 feet has, among other beasts, the hagfish. The name alone is descriptive. Once the ocean floor is reached, Jenkins continues to take the reader on this knowledgeable journey with more and more information. **Visit the creator of Down, Down, Down -**[|**Steve Jenkins**]
