Sea Animals in the River Thames
Two thousand marine animals swim from the ocean into the River Thames in England every year, and there are many types of animals.
In 2016, a seal climbed onto the beach near the London Eye. In 2017, people spotted a porpoise near Richmond.
Most recently, people saw a Beluga whale near Kent. They named him Benny and said that he is lost as he should be in cooler Arctic waters.
Difficult words: London Eye (a giant Ferris wheel sitting above the River Thames), porpoise (a small-toothed whale similar to the dolphin).
