Tide Pool Exhibit
The
sea creatures you are most likely to see on Northwest coast are those
that live in tide pools that form on ocean beaches. Tide pools are stressful
environments with animals specifically adapted to survive surf surge,
drying and extremes in water and air temperature.
The
tide pool houses anemones (giant green, aggregate), chitons, limpets, snails,
mussels, crabs, sea cucumbers, urchins, sea stars, sculpins, gobies, painted
greenlings and gunnels.
In this exhibit, Zoo volunteers show you and tell you
about these fascinating animals, and teach coastal etiquette.
