Did You Know?

Clownfish are known for their teamwork in the ocean. When they find a small coconut shell, they work together to move it to a safe location where it can be used as a nursery for their young. This cooperation allows them to create a stable and safe environment for their eggs, showing the strength of teamwork even among fish.

The colourful clownfish nudged the weathered coconut shell across the sandy sea floor.

Number Challenge

Fact: There are 28 species of clownfish living in the warm waters of the Indian and the Pacific oceans.

The number 28 is a ‘perfect number.’ A perfect number is a number that equals the sum of its factors (excluding itself).

1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28

Are there any other perfect numbers that are smaller than 28?
