Other Swimmers & Drifters

A miscellaneous selection covering larger animals. Some drift along allowing plankton to stick to them although comb jellies and jellyfish have rudimentary means of propulsion. Octopus swim somewhat reluctantly and cuttlefish are excellent swimmers but both are active hunters of small fish, crabs, prawns and the like.
