Feeding time and story time at The Discovery Center



Today was a fun-filled day at the Sea Life Discovery Center! Here's a list of today's exciting events: 1) We have a new pregnant green crab! She is carrying anywhere between 185,000-250,000 neon orange eggs in her brood, and she will be carrying them until they hatch! 2) Feeding frenzy! Our crabs had a delicious meal of fish, scallops, and clams, and we got some great footage of the action. 3) Story time was a great success! Our visitors from Arizona, Colorado, Quebec, and the Netherlands all listened to a story read by our intern Ally. Come visit us every Wednesday to hear an ocean tale and to see the crabs have their weekly meal!
