Question

Fish stars are one of the most beautiful creatures of the underwater world. They are commonly known as starfish, but they are actually not fish. They do not have gills or fins like fish normally do. Their manner of moving is also quite different from fish. While fish . use their tails, starfish have tiny tube feet on their stomachs! These feet help them move along. Not all starfish have only five arms. Some have as many as forty! Do you know the most exciting thing about starfish? If a predator attacks them, they can drop one of the arms and get away! Then they grow that arm again over a year. We thought that everything was over when suddenly a black sloth bear came out panting in the hot sun. Now I will not shoot a sloth-bear wantonly but, unfortunately for the poor beast, one of my companions did not feel that way about it, and promptly shot the bear on the spot​
