Discovery Center July 13





Christian LaFlech from Glenville, NY came in to visit today with his mom and dad and his little brother, who could clearly saw "Nemo" We were able to show them a sea anemone similar to the one Nemo lives in! From the picture you can Christian holding a large Sperm whale tooth and the smaller tooth from an Orca whale. Both teeth are replicas of real teeth. It's difficult to find real teeth because when whales die there gums deteriorate very quickly and there teeth fall out and are likely at the bottom of the ocean. Alot of new critters in our tank come by and see us! Our first beach clean up is July 21 at 10 am meet us at the Discovery Center, we supply all you need! We also had the Granata family spend some time with us and then returned for feeding time, Jake, Nick , and Mia and there mom are from Marblehead, Massachusetts, thanks for visiting!
