Animals in the Sea.

  

This little fish swam next to my face. I felt like she was looking at me. All of the sea stars were showing their underneaths. 
 
    
  I stared into this tank for a long time and found an animal buried in the sand with just an eye poking out and a mouth (I think??) too. I found a worker but he did not know the answer, he worked in security and said he thought it was a ray.  He found a biologist who answered my questions even though the biologist he brought me was a snake biologist! It WAS a ray. The ray was buried in the sand for protection. Even though no other animals in the tank wanted to eat that ray, the ray’s body and mind still told it to do that. This is called an instinct.

  

The diver could speak to us because she had a special microphone that let her voice out of a speaker that was not underwater. She had a breathing mask and hose. Usually divers have a scuba tank.  
  
 I am looking right at the Black-Tipped Reef Shark. It has some black  on the tips of her fins and she
swims near the reef.
Other interesting things: black widow spider. I told Mama I would really like to touch one to test their smoothness but she said NO. I already knew that black widows are poisonous. A lot of animals that have red on them are poisonous. Not all of them.   

 

Also, I liked seeing this penguin drying off, standing for a very, very long time.
