Camouflage Attempt #2

For the second day in a row we separated out a flounder and placed black and white patterns under him to see if he would change colors to match the patterns. Did it work?Well....it kinda worked. The beginnings of some black and white spots can be seen but unfortunately the flounder did not have time to fully adapt to its new surroundings.

In other news, we drew three names for our three flounders. The winning names were: Winnie the Pooh submitted by Natalie in Lebanon, NH, Flappy the Flounder suggested by Hanna from Kennebunkport, ME and Mike-y submitted by Liam in Strafford, NH.
