Stories for Thinking Children-2

The waters of the ocean are very cold, es-
pecially in the depths. For this reason Allah
created seals, which live in cold water, with a
thick layer of fat beneath their skin. This
layer prevents the seals from losing their
body heat quickly. Another interesting thing
about seals is that the females produce the
richest, the most nourishing milk known in na-
ture. This milk makes the babies they raise
under difficult conditions grow very quickly.
