The crows do not like to fly 19 miles over the sea.

Ray, Camp Counselor: . . . . Mon, May 10, 7:30PM PST (-0800 GMT)
Tenaya--so it must be because the ravens are bigger and stronger and can fly long distances more easily then. Is that correct?

Mikey 6 gradeOro Grande: . . . . Mon, May 10, 7:41PM PST (-0800 GMT)
To Ray, The reason why there is ravens and not crows is because ravens can go farther distances than the crow.

Ray, Camp Counselor: . . . . Mon, May 10, 7:41PM PST (-0800 GMT)
On Santa Cruz Island there aren't any rattlesnakes. How come there are on Catalina but not on Santa Cruz?

We have Lake Arrowhead at the touch tank now, and Oro Grande will be here in 20-30 minutes. The classes are taking turns seeing / touching the sea creatures while the others visit the scientist's laboratories and see a video. We just went down to the tideline and the kids ate algae and phytoplankton ... they are really having a hands-on - and - a bit of taste buds on too !!

The kids have learned that the algae is also in the toothpaste they used ( we hope ! ) this morning, in the ice cream they love to eat and in chocolate milk. Fresh from the sea it is pretty salty !! and how do you think they could eat phytoplankton ( hint, the same way the whales do ) ??

Dolphin Clan: . . . . Tue, May 11, 10:18AM PST (-0800 GMT)
Ms. Salib, did you know that Dolphins eat Bobcats?

Dolphin Clan: . . . . Tue, May 11, 10:19AM PST (-0800 GMT)
