Aquarium Field Trip

I did not get to go on the field trip, so I didn't get to experience the ecosystem and animals first hand. One interesting thing that I learned for my project, however, are that Mayan shamans used to dry roast Middle American Rattlesnakes and ground them into a powder to use for medicines. The bonnethead shark is a member of the hammerhead genus. The Giant Pacific Octopus has a scientific record of weighing 156 lbs. The Black-footed Penguin does not need cold eatherto survive and is actually native to South Africa. The Bigtooth Stingray is threatened by habitat loss.
