Australia is a beautiful and unique country. Not only is it the home of cuddly koalas and cute kangaroos, it’s also home to some pretty interesting sea life, too! While a platypus or sharks may come to mind, it’s the coral on the Great Barrier Reef that needs our care and attention right now. The lowdown ON CORAL Imagine putting on a snorkel and taking a peek under the sea. You’d see plenty of coral - a colourful living organism that attaches itself to the bottom of the ocean floor. Having coral in this type of habitat is really essential for other marine life, as it provides protection, a place to live and a much-needed rest stop for most sea creatures. Coral may look like a bunch of plants dotting…

A tombstone that read Styles’ name was the final insult. Kingston and Uso teamed up for a double head-butt on Morrison that sent him flying off the ladder — only to take the championships down with him.

It was so embarrassing that I could not go to the town fair the next day thanks to vomit, pizza, PlayStation, poop and Batman! Arlen It was finally morning tea and I was playing rugby and I fell into a…
