THING ON THE BOTTOM?

FLIP BACK OVER AND SO THAT IS 
ONE WAY THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY 
GO AHEAD AND TOUCH THE SHELL, 
WITH YOUR FINGERS.
>> THAT IS ONE WAY THAT THEY 
CAN ACTUALLY FLIP THINGS OVER 
TO RIGHT THEMSELVES WHICH NOT 
ALL ANIMAL CANS DO.
>> THE TIDE POOL ANIMALS, AND 
THEY GET THAT TITLE BECAUSE?

OCEAN ANIMALS AND SO YOU ARE
