Oceans are huge bodies of water. They cover over 70 percent of the earth. There are five oceans in the world: the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean and Southern Ocean. The oceans are home to all sorts of animals including whales, fish, dolphins and more! You can also find beautiful corals in the ocean. Corals look like plants, but they are actually animals. They form reefs. These provide food and living space for about 25 percent of the world’s fish!
