Coastal animals

In the coastal environment there are many inhabitant animals. Some of these include sea-going birds, like sea gulls, crabs, fish and various other animals of the coast. Most of these adapt to their environment by being able to swim in the water and walk or crawl on the land.

Gulls are especially adapted to the environment by being able to fly to look for prey, swim and dive in the water to catch prey, and they can walk on the land so they can roost. Crabs are adapted to the environment by being able to dive under water and stay there for a long time to catch food such as small fish and sea-plants like algae. The crabs usually make burrows in the sand and sometimes make it elsewhere.

Some animals on the coast have different ways of adaption, each one unique in their own special way.
