nereocystis luetkeana
Bull Kelp is a giant sea plant that looks like a long green noodle! It sways gracefully in the ocean and provides homes for many sea creatures.
生息地: Bull Kelp lives in the cool, shallow waters of the Pacific Ocean.
The Bull Kelp has a single, very long, hollow stipe that can stretch for many meters, topped by a gas-filled float. Its olive-green to brown fronds radiate from this float, creating a dense canopy on the ocean's surface.
