Voice 1
Under the water, the sea slug uses a similar defence to the monarch. Like the caterpillar, the sea slug has a soft body. And, it also gains its defence weapon from food! Some sea slugs eat sea creatures called hydroids. Hydroids look like plants. And they have special cells that hurt most things that touch them. But these cells do not harm the sea slug. They help it! When the sea slug eats the hydroids it stores the cells. It can then use the cells to protect itself. Some slugs can even shoot out the pain-giving cells at attackers!
Voice 2
And this is not the sea slug’s only defence! The other is its colour! Many people consider sea slugs beautiful creatures. They have so many different colours! The sea slug takes the colour from the food it eats. So, if the slug eats something red, it turns red. If it eats something brown, it turns brown. The perfect way to hide fromenemies! The sea slug’s food is its greatest friend!
Voice 1
The hermit crab carries its ‘friends’ on its shell! Living under the sea can be dangerous. So the small hermit crab needs more than its protective shell. It needs a way to fight! Sea anemones provide this. Sea anemones look like beautiful plants. But they are really a kind of animal. These small creatures contain powerful cells that hurt if touched. The hermit crab covers itself with sea anemones for extra protection. Its enemies know how painful sea anemones can be.
Voice 2
In the world of sea creatures, who would befriend the keyhole limpet? You cannot even see the small creature under its huge flat shell! The limpet is safely hidden, and so is any creature that hides with it! This is what the sea worm does. It lives in the ‘keyhole’ on the top of the limpet’s shell. This provides a safe home for the sea worm. And in return, the sea worm defends the limpet from enemies like starfish. If a starfish attacks, the sea worm bites its feet!
Voice 1
The keyhole limpet and the sea worm. The hermit crab and anemones. The sea slug and its food. The caterpillar and the ant. The monarch butterfly and the milkweed plant. These seem like unusual combinations. But, their successful symbiotic relationships help them survive a dangerous world!
Voice 2
In the world of nature, a creature defends the life of its ‘friend.’ It does so naturally, without question. It is following the laws of nature. The Bible says this is how God made them to be. But it says that God gave humans freedom to choose. And then he asked them to choose to love each other. This is not always easy. But just like in nature, choosing to care for other people brings many important good things.
