Today we went to the Akron Zoo for our monthly zoo class, otherwise known as the Stroller Safari. The theme for this class was "Marine Life." As we entered, we created a fish craft, ate fish crackers, sang an ocean song then read a story. After all this, we headed up to the touch tank and the jelly fish exhibit. Since we go to the zoo so often, this wasn't new to us. Every time we go, Dawson loves to touch the Sea Stars (used to be called starfish but, someone discovered they are not fish so the name was changed!) and sea urchins. Probably her favorite thing to do is look at all the different kinds of jelly fish in the exhibit. They are quite amazing as you can see from the pictures. If you haven't seen this yet, try to check it out sometime. It's only here for another year or two!
Checking out some jellyfish.
These are known as "Moon Jellies." They are perfectly clear and you can see the insides of them. The reason they are peach in color inside is because they eat SHRIMP. Same ideas as Flamingos!
Reaching for the jellyfish.
