Here, great white whales swim gracefully in spite of their enormous bulk and massive coral reefs, built by countless millions of tiny creatures, grow. Further below, organisms feed off the chemicals pouring from volcanic chimneys, and at the very bottom, where intense pressure makes exploration virtually impossible, radically different life forms reside in a range of habitats. Full of fascinating facts and illustrations, Marine Life in India is a compact, engaging, and easy-to-understand study of the vast variety of ocean life, from the earliest life-forms to the vast range of species swimming the seas today.
