Hurricanes are strong tropical storms that form over the ocean and have a rotating center with winds of at least 74 MPH (about 119 KMH). These tropical cyclones can leave behind a path of destruction and chaos on land, but how do animals in the ocean survive during hurricanes? Come discover how sharks and different fishes use their cool adaptations to their advantage. Along the way, we will also learn about natural features in our coastlines that help protect us and how we can prepare for hurricane season this summer!
