•Cover your head, and thus reduce your heat loss by half.

than air does.

•Don’t eat potentially dangerous plants.

•These include all types of mushrooms and other fungi, beans, and bulbs.

•Also, any wild berries that are either red or white should be avoided.

•As a precaution, be sure you have packed plenty of packets of dehydrated food to tide you over
in an emergency.

including such fierce hunters as the dragonfish and the devilfish, which come equipped with
razor sharp teeth and huge stomachs.
•Perhaps the most remarkable discovery about the animals of the midwater is that nearly all of
them produce their own light, as a firefly does.

scientists must solve.
