We learned how to tell a male crab from a female crab. The male has a triangle belly, and the female has a dome shaped belly. We also caught flounder. These creatures live at the bottom of Boston Harbor. Their dark color camouflages the muddy harbor floor.
Flounders have both eyes on one side, and they swim on their sides.
The most interesting sea creature we found was the starfish. We learned that when it loses one of its legs it grows it back. This is called regeneration. We also learned that a starfish eats in a very unusual way. When it finds food it throws its stomach out of its body.
