Intertidal zone

Lots of Goooooood pokin'

More Pokin'

Our Zoo

Organizing the zoo by phylum

We hit up an intertidal zone, which is the zone in between the high and low tides where lots of squishy critters live. We got to poke sea hairs (little bitty kittens), play with star fish, get pinched by crabs, peel sea cucumbers off of rocks, and learn about how all of these different animals make in their homes in the intertidal zone. We also learned about the different phylums that the animals belong to such as cnidaria, mollusks, arthropods, and echinoderms.  We also got to snorkel in the intertidal zone and see those animals in their natural habitats. The coolest part was definitely holding the sea hairs because they are squishy and awesome.

Anemone are members of the Cnidaria Phylum like jelly fish.

Stingrays are not so scary when you are swimming.
