Octopuses in Hot Water – level 1

22-05-2018 07:00

At the bottom of the ocean, sometimes there are vents. The rocks and water around these vents are hot. Scientists find octopuses near one vent. There are hundreds of them. They are females. They put their eggs near the vent.

This is very unusual. This place is not good for the octopuses. It is not good for the eggs, either.

Difficult words: vent (a space from which hot water goes up), female (woman), either (‘also’ or ‘too’ in a negative sentence).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
