What animal is destroying the Great Barrier Reef?
|
The crown-of-thorns starfish lives in tropical seas. It is common on the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. It turns its stomach inside out to eat the soft-bodied coral animals. Its skin is armoured with fearsome spines, and it has few predators. The crown-of-thorns has destroyed large areas of coral reef.
