Hey Sleepy Seals (that's our camp name this week)! We had a crab-tastic first day of camp filled with lots of activities. 

Today we explored our Amazon Gallery and got to visit creatures like sloths, tortoises, stingrays, and even a caiman!

We then played a game of survival as either herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores in a showdown to see who could survive in the wild. 

After lunch we went down to the beach for our plankton tow where we gathered our new friends and looked at them under microscopes.

See you tomorrow for lots more fun!

Things to ask your camper today:

• What role did you play in survival and what tasks did you have to complete to survive?
• What are the two types of plankton and why are they important to the food chain?
• What kind of animals live in the Amazon that are represented here at the aquarium?
