Here we are! Cape Cod National Seashore's newest Junior Park Rangers! We got our ranger badges after attending the "Something's Fishy" activity, and making observations in our junior park ranger handbook. It was a lot of work, but we learned LOTS and had some fun, too. :)
Here, Grant is learning more about our favorite fish - a pipefish! Did you know that pipefish are related to seahorses? You can tell because their heads are shaped the same.
Ready to dig into the touch tank and learn about the animals of the salt pond.
Grant is scaring a hermit crab back into his shell.
This is a "decorator crab"! It uses its spit to add things from the bottom of the ocean to the outside of its shell. The park ranger said it is a type of "camouflage" that makes them more difficult to see in the water. This helps them to avoid getting eaten! Isn't that cool??
We are fearless!
