A-Angelfish
Freshwater fish (Pterophyllum scalare) native to South America and are one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish. Angelfish come in a variety of colors, including solid silver, colored stripes, and black-and-silver marble. They can live for up to 12 years in captivity and are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of aquatic invertebrates and small crustaceans. They help to keep these populations in check, which prevents them from overgrowing and harming the ecosystem.
Angelfish are also a food source for other fish, such as piranhas and larger predators. This helps to keep the populations of these predators in check, which helps to protect other fish in the ecosystem.

B-Bass Fish
A common name shared by different species of fish, both freshwater and marine. They are carnivorous and feed on a variety of prey, including fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other invertebrates. Some bass are active swimmers, while others are more sedentary. The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is an invasive species in South Africa. It was introduced through game fishing and is now a major threat to native fish populations.
This green olive-bodied fish are predators with no natural predators in South Africa, and they quickly outcompete native fish for food and habitat. As a result, many native fish species are now in danger of extinction.

C-Crocodile
Large reptiles found across Asia, Africa, Australia, and the American tropics. The Nile crocodile (Crocodiles niloticus) is the largest of the reptile species. Crocodiles are known to spend most of their time in water, but they can also move on land. They have powerful jaws with conical teeth, and they share a unique body form that allows the eyes, ears, and nostrils to be above the water surface while most of the animal is hidden below.
The tail is long and massive, and the skin is thick and plated. Crocodiles are mostly nocturnal animals and feed on a variety of prey, including insects, fish, large mammals, and birds. Crocodiles have caused a lot of death to people and livestock living close to their environment, but they are also an important part of the ecosystem.

D-Dolphin
Aquatic mammals that are found in both fresh and marine environments. There are over 36 extant species of dolphins, and the most abundant species is the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis). Dolphins are known for their grace, intelligence, playfulness, and friendliness to humans. They are social animals that live in groups called pods. Dolphins use echolocation to navigate and find food.
They are predators and feed on a variety of fish, squid, and other marine animals. Dolphins are an important part of the marine ecosystem and play a role in controlling populations of prey animals.

Elongated, snake-like fish that are found in both freshwater and saltwater. There are over 800 species of eels, and they range in color from gray or black in deep-sea species to colorful and patterned in tropical reef species.
Eels are an important part of the marine ecosystem and play a role in controlling populations of prey animals. Freshwater eels are greatly valued as food and have a major economic importance.

F-Fur Seal
Semiaquatic mammals that need both aquatic and terrestrial habitats for their survival. There are nine species of fur seals, and they can be distinguished from sea lions by their thick fur, smaller body structure, and sexual dimorphism. During the summer, fur seals gather in rocky environments to breed and give birth. They are gregarious and have very distinctive vocals.
They are an important part of the marine ecosystem. They are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain. This means that they help to control the populations of other marine animals, such as fish and squid. Fur seals are also a food source for other predators, such as sharks and orcas.

G- Goldfish
(Carassius auratus) are a popular pet fish that are highly adaptable to different freshwater conditions. They can be harmful to native species when released in the wild. Goldfish have one of the most studied vision and hearing senses. They can identify at least four primary colors.
Goldfish are able to survive short periods of low oxygen conditions. An interesting fact about goldfish is that they have excellent learning skills and can identify their owners. They have a high market value.

H-Hippo
(Hippopotamus amphibius) is a large semi-aquatic mammal that is native to Africa and an important part of the ecosystem. They are the third-largest land mammals after elephants and rhinos. They are characterized by barrel-shaped bodies with short tails and legs, and an hourglass-shaped skull with a long snout.
Hippos spend most of their time in water, but they come out to graze on land at night. They are herbivores and eat a variety of grasses, plants, and fruit. Hippos are not good swimmers despite having webbed feet nor can they float.
The hippo's jaw is powered by huge masseter and digastric muscles which give them large, droopy cheeks. The jaw hinge allows the animal to open its mouth at almost 180. Hippos are territorial and aggressive animals and are known to attack boats and kill people.

I- Icefish
A group of fish that are found in the Antarctic. Icefish are the only vertebrates that do not have hemoglobin in their blood. Instead, they have antifreeze proteins in their blood that prevent it from freezing in the icy cold waters.
Icefish have a crocodile-like mouth, which is how they got their other name, crocodile fish. They are an important part of the Antarctic ecosystem and play a role in controlling populations of prey animals.

J- Jellyfish
Aurelia aurita, also known as the moon jellyfish, is a free-swimming marine animal with an umbrella-shaped bell and trailing tentacles. The tentacles are armed with stinging cells that are used to capture prey and defend the jellyfish from predators.
Aurelia aurita is widely distributed worldwide in both shallow and deep waters. There are over 2,000 species of jellyfish, and some are considered endangered.

K- Killer Whale
(Orcinus orca) are toothed whales that belong to the largest oceanic dolphin family. They are one of the planet's most formidable apex predators. Orcas use echolocation, a sophisticated sonar system, for communication and hunting.
By emitting sounds that travel through the water and bounce back upon encountering objects, they gather vital information about their surroundings, including location, size, and shape. This ability enables them to navigate vast oceanic territories and effectively locate prey.
