I've been learning about dozens of kinds of marine animals, but one of the most fascinating is the mollusc. One of the first kinds of life, molluscs date to the Pre-cambrian era arpund 500 million years! Today molluscs range from a common sea snail, to the collosal squid, cuttlefish and chambered nautilus shown above. Maybe I'm just a geek but the history of these animals is immense and they can tell us much about the past. They truly fascinate me.
The cuttlefish are my favorite at the Birch Aquarium. I also really liked when they had shark month and you went around the aquarium collecting shark stamps.
