Create a table classifying ocean creatures by the ocean layer they inhabit, and provide brief explanations.

Here is the completed table showing which layer of the ocean each creature or plant primarily lives in:

Name	1 (Sunlight Zone)	2 (Twilight Zone)	3 (Midnight Zone)	4 (Lower Midnight Zone)	5 (The Trenches)
Dolphin	✅
Shrimp	✅
Coral	✅
Whale	✅
Sea spider			✅

Here's a brief explanation for each:

• Dolphins are marine mammals that primarily live and hunt in the upper, sunlit layers of the ocean.
• Many common shrimp species are found in shallow coastal waters and the upper ocean layers.
• Most corals (especially reef-building corals) require sunlight for photosynthesis by their symbiotic algae, so they live in the Sunlight Zone.
• Whales are air-breathing mammals that spend significant time in the Sunlight Zone for breathing and often for feeding, even though some species can dive to great depths.
• Sea spiders are found at various depths, but many species are characteristic of deep-sea environments, including the Midnight Zone.
