      I only study marine animals. I don’t know why the moose bit you. Normally animals bite to defend themselves, attack other animals and/or to break off chunks of food. Some animals, such as sharks, also bite things to test out what they are (they don’t have great vision).

      I dont do marine biology, but it was something I wanted to do when i was younger! Scientists often specialise in a certain area, as there is impossible to be an expert in all sciences, theres just too much information!
