Once a year, television audiences go wild over programs about the shark.
Mistakenly viewed as a horrifying beast, the truth is these popular animals are responsible for a few human fatalities. Horses and cows are responsible for more human deaths per year.
There are over 500 types of sharks, and more than 140 of those are on endangered lists of favorite animals. The shark plays a major role in marine ecosystems. They eat aquatic life that balances the food chain.
Sharks are found in tropical coral reefs, the deep blue sea, and under the Arctic ice. There are unique animals like the hammerhead and the goblin, an unmissable shark with bright pink skin.

Creature Awaits #243
Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )
As the Pantone color of the year is "Peach Fuzz", so we'll dive into the second month of this relatively new year by featuring creatures of this cozy, comforting color. : )

The Pink Skunk Clownfish
A.K.A: The Pink Anemonefish
(Yes, despite the name, it's actually more peach in hue. : ) )
Scientific Name: Amphiprion perideraion
Region: Reef lagoons and slopes across the western Pacific and eastern Indian oceans
Size: Up to about 3.9" (~10cm)
Interesting Notes: Unlike many anemonefish species, the Pink Skunk Clownfish, one of the smallest anemonefish, is willing to share its anemone host home with another species. : )
