In their mysterious underwater world, fish must use amazing and bizarre adaptations to survive. They breathe water, change color, generate deadly jolts of electricity – and some communicate by farting. In this class, students will explore the incredible variety and strange features of fish using specimens and live animals. They will also do some pond dipping to see fish in their natural habitat.
