Explore an underwater world in this intricate artwork by scientific illustrator Franz Anthony, highlighting the incredible diversity of ocean invertebrates. From familiar jellyfish, octopuses, and crabs to wonderfully weird creatures like Christmas tree worms, mantis shrimp, and sea slugs, this scene is teeming with life. How many different species can you spot?

In the shadow of a giant whale, a drifting sea of transparent plankton completes the ecosystem. As you assemble the puzzle, you’ll journey through this vibrant habitat with a mix of two cut styles: coral-cut pieces for the bustling reef and wave-cut pieces for the open water. Scattered throughout are 19 sea creature whimsies to discover.

WHIMSIES
