Young Explorer Seal Day - 2019

Today we had a lab full of Young Explorers learning about seals. Below are a few photos from our day.

Cutting up herring and mackerel for the seal feeding.

Watching the seals have the lunch that we prepared for them.

Observing the seals. Do they have a tail? Do they have nails?

Exploring the intertidal zone.

There were lots of green crabs found hiding under the rocks and seaweed.

Sideswimmers were also found.

How many green crabs do you see?

The biggest green crab of the day!

Sea urchins test found on the shore.

Proud of his find!

Making "fortune tellers" with lots of seal facts.

What would a human need to live in the ocean like a seal? We would look pretty silly!

Thanks to all the Young Explorers that joined us at the aquarium today! We are excited for the remaining Wednesday programs, Whales and Seabirds. There are a few spaces remaining in each program. Send us an email if you are interested, lbarrett@huntsmanmarine.ca.
