Farallone View Marine Science Day

001[Music] [Applause] [Music] Amy McVicker, principal at Feralon View Elementary School. Uh we had a really exciting day. uh Marine Science Institute came out and brought various sea creatures that our students in grades uh kindergarten through 4th got to touch and explore and learn all about uh in preparation for oceans week which is toward the uh last half of May. So, we're looking forward to uh exploring the ocean even more with our theme of seephalopods and uh yeah, we've got a great week planned and this was sort of our our kickoff. And thank you so much to Safe Roots to Schools for providing the funding to bring MSI to our campus. I'm first going to ask us to name them. I'm going to hold them up to talk about that. So, could someone tell me or if we all know just say who we think this guy is? Wolf eel. It is our monkey face eel. That protective layer of mucus does a couple different things. First one is that it's an escape method. If a bird grabs the eel, they can slide out. And another thing that's that mucus is a sunscreen. It keeps their body wet until the tide comes in. I want to be nice to this guy. And this guy eats kelp. We are not on the menu. The only time they will eat things that aren't kelp is during the colder months, during the winter. And then they'll be eating things like small [Music] crab. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat up here. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music]
