K is for Krill

Scientific name: Euphausia fallax

Tagalog: Alamang

A Krill is different than a shrimp and different than a prawn.

Krill are Krill.

They are open ocean travelers and the size of a jellybean

They munch of delicious green diatoms.

Their sheer numbers are a super force that

create a floating cloud with the power to turn the immense blue ocean a radical shade of pink.

Everyone in the sea depends on these tiny pink crustaceans to keep things running smoothly.

The power of one pales with the power of a billion trillions!

    I am thoroughly impressed with your artwork and vision. I visited your nonprofit website as well. My daughter, Elya, painted the mermaid painting I featured on the post your liked, so I will forward your website to her. She is teaching English in Phuket, Thailand. I’m also in the field of education so I just wanted to encourage you to persist in your good works for kids and the oceans of our world.
