Capitals have a thicker line thickness.

Nemo's Dad is his Mum

Finding Nemo would have been a very different movie if it reflected the true lives of clownfish.

turned from his journey across the ocean, scientists have revealed. Research presented by the University of Exeter shows that male clown

fish, which are a distinctive orange colour with blue-white stripes borered by black, become female to protect their territory and young. The female of the species are larger and more aggressive than males and have been known to attack sharks. Clownfish, or anemonefish, live in tropical climates on anemones where they stay their entire lives. Male fish tend to look after the eggs and fan them while females act as security guards, scanning the surroundings for predators, issuing warning calls and even launching attacks.

University of Exeter.

Dr Mills told marine biologists at Exeter University: "Anemone fish don’t move from their anemone for the whole of their life.

'

The largest individual is the female, and if that female gets predated upon or dies, the male, Nemo’s dad, then changes sex and becomes a repro

ductive female.

So when Nemo finally gets back to his anemone at the end of the film, he’s actually meeting his Mum.'

Dr Mills said they were investigating how hormonal, behavioural and physiological characteristics of anemonefish were affected by climate change and human interactions like boat engine noise.

Dr Beldade who studies the behaviour and genetics of clownfish in French Polynesia said: "Because of the sex change the same individual can have an opportunity to breed as a male and a female. The couple defends the anemone together in their own way and they both need each other to survive and reproduce.” (Making Nemo's father his wife)
