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!
