Summary

edit
Description A slightly better, though still not very sharp picture of the Giant Sea Star or Giant starfish. Starfish are not actually fish at all, they are more closely related to sea urchins and sand dollars. Giant sea stars are usually found around the protected coastal lines with low tide. They can often be found attached to rocks, pier supports or in the sand. The giant sea star only has a few predators. Sea otters and sea birds feed on giant sea stars, and their larvae are eaten by certain types of sea snails. They prey on several kinds of sea organisms including barnacles, gastropods, bivalves and limpets. It eats its prey by extending its stomach so it can fit into tiny gaps, such as mussel shells. More notes in previous captions. (Toronto, Canada, Nov.2015)
