Otto the copepod

Hey there, who are you?

We are the plants of the sea. We catch sun rays and produce oxygen.

How cool! Have you seen my copepod friends?

Luckily not lately, they tend to have quite some appetite for us!

Hey there, what are your names?

We are called Dinoflagellates. We use the energy of the sun, but some of us also like to eat other algae.

Have you maybe seen my friends?

Hmm, not in the last two hours.

Hey you!

Hey Otto, what's up?

I'm looking for my friends. Have you seen them?

Nope, we have not seen them. We are just tumbling, drifting and eating all day.

Hey Pat the tuna, have you seen my friends?

No Otto, I'm also searching for my friends. Have you seen them?

Good morning Mr and Ms Jelly, why are you so silently floating around?

You don't want to know Otto... Don't you want to come a little bit closer?

Hej there, I almost did not see you. Who are you?

We are Bacteria and although we are very small there are a lot of us, and we are everywhere.

Hmm, is it winter already?

No Otto, we are just marine snow on its way to the bottom of the sea.

Hi there, can you please make some light so I can find my friends?

We can make light for you, but normally we do that to find food and our partners.

Otto, there you are. We were already worried.

Hej, so good that I found you finally after this journey to the deep. What are we doing now?

We will soon swim back to the surface, as it is soon becoming night again.

Ok, I will just swim a bit deeper to see what is there and then join you afterwards!

Well hello Mr Starfish and Ms Sponge, what are you doing here?

I am looking for things to eat, and also Ms Sponge here is filtering the water for smaller things.

Enjoy your day then!
