Monterey Bay Aquarium

While you are at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, your job will be to find one sea creature that you find fascinating.  Please research that creature and write a one paragraph summary of what you learned about that creature on Kidblog.  I will be looking for well-researched paragraphs.  (You can do this research at the aquarium or on the internet.)  You must pick a creature that is currently at the aquarium for this assignment.

You can visit the aquarium's website for more information.
Have fun!
