Cone+shells

=Cone shells=

Cone shells look pretty but they can be dangerous. They are venomous and can sting humans.

They are like a snail and have a hard shell.

They have a large 'tooth' and a venom gland which they use to attack their prey. They will bite if you touch them.

There are 600 kinds of cone shells. They live in warm seas, in deep water or in rocks or coral reefs. Sometimes they dig into the sand to hide.

Cone shells are carnivorous. They kill and eat worms, small fish and other cone shells, as well as squid, cuttlefish and octopus.
