I really enjoyed our visit to the aquarium this morning and seeing a 22 lbs lobster with claws so strong that it could cut off your wrist. The skates, which look identical to sting rays, were really fascinating because they would swim up to you at the surface of the pool and wait to be petted. The feeding of the seals was also a cool event because they would do tricks to get their food such as spinning around, climbing up rocks and even kissing the trainers.

This afternoon, we went to a muddy beach in search of worms. As yesterday's hunt for sea creatures was a blast, I knew without a doubt that today would be the same. After digging in the sand for an hour looking for worms, we found many of all different sizes such as blood worms, lug worms and red line worms. Some tried to bit us in defence and others tried to squirm away when we picked them up. I could not believe the cool colours that these worms were. Some were transparent, some were orange and others had a red line down the middle of their body. 

I thought that it would be a cool experience to walk along the sea shore covered with rocks and seaweed to see what kind of unique marine life I could discover. I did find a few golf balls, broken glass bottles, crabs and many clams. It was so quiet by the shore because there were no cars passing by and no waves hitting the beach. Sorting the worms into their families when we got back to the lab was challenging because they would hide in the mud that was in the bucket and we would have to search for them inch by inch with tweezers without causing harm. Tomorrow is going to be incredible as we are going whale watching out in the Bay of Fundy.
