Starfish dissection

One of the dissections I was really exited about was the starfish. This was because the starfish is a very interesting and exiting creature to learn about. Here are some of the things I learned. One thing was that their are some 2,000 species of starfish living in the ocean. Another thing I learned was that, the starfish has a anus on top of its body. The third thing I learned was that, they have tiny tube feet. Here are some things I found out by myself. The colors on a starfish help them camouflage. The second this was that, the characteristic of being able extending their stomach comes in handy for digesting. You can find more starfish facts like this at :
