[[[[[RPiranhas] there are [[[[[yStargazers], [[[[[gOctopi], [[[[[WGlobefish], [[[[[sPikes],
[[[[[sSwordfish], and [[[[[sFlounders]. More dangerous are [[[[[rGiant crayfish],
[[[[[RGiant piranhas], and [[[[[gGiant squid]. Among the larger depth-
dwellers, there are the [[[[[WHammerhead sharks], [[[[[oTiger sharks],
[[[[[wWhite sharks], [[[[[oSeahorses], and [[[[[gGiant octopi]. The largest and
