An intimate account of the beauty, mystery, and amazing science of the ocean. In The Blue Wonder, marine biologist and diver Frauke Bagusche brings readers on a fascinating and beautiful deep-sea dive into the ocean. Drawing on scientific discoveries and her own research, she uses photographs and playful prose to reveal:
- deep-sea reefs that glitter like glass
- fish that converse with each other by singing--loudly
- an octopus that imitates more than fifteen other animals
- the secret behind why the sea glows at night
- "weddings" that happen amongst the coral
- underwater "drugstores"
- and even fish that clean her own teeth!
