Today we went down to the rocky intertidal area! We found an abundance of sun stars, brittle stars, sea cucumbers, and one lumpy-clawed crab. Most of these creatures we found hiding under rocks, submerged I’m the water. We learned that sea stars have radial symmetry, and have the ability to regrow their limbs if dismembered.
