Dear Disappointed:
You're right! Both you humans and fish breath the same oxygen that's in the air. But the difference
is that fish get their oxygen from the water. How? They have sets of thin flat lacy things called
gills instead of lungs!
They suck water into their mouths and then push it out through these gills which are located
on either side of their mouth. As the water flows out, their gills pick up the oxygen in water so
they can breath. That's pretty clever, eh? But, then, listen.... Fish can't sunbathe the way you
humans can.
Signed,
Wendell
