For my second blog of the summer I am going to identify two animals that I handled and or experienced for my first month.
The first animal that I encountered was a Dogfish on a fishing trip. A cool fact about dogfish is that they are actually venomous. They release the venom from their two spines on their fins. They grow up to 3-4 feet in length and they live in the northern pacific and Atlantic Ocean. They primarily feast on fish and sometimes crab and squid. They also can live up to 80 years old in the wild.
The second animal that I encountered was a skate. A fun fact about them is that the largest one on record was 8 feet in length. The size that they can grow up to is 8 feet max but it’s usual to see them 30 inches in length. They reside all over the world in all depths and they feed on multiple crustaceans and fish.
With my time at piers park ending soon I had a really fun time kayaking, fishing and interacting with all the kids. The open space in the park to play games like soccer or football was very fun considering the grass was always slippery which would cause a lot of us to fall. I can’t wait for what’s in store for me at all access in the last month of this amazing summer.
See you on the harbor!!!
