Hola!
Yesterday was our first adventure in Mexico by exploring the rocky inter-tidal! One of the many things we found were the Star fish!  Star fish are part of the Phylum Echinodermata,along with sand dollars, sea cucumbers, and also brittle stars! Star fish have pentamerous radial symmetry with five parts along its central axis! I learn that Star fish eat by everting their stomach! They can eat small fish, bivalves, and barnacles!

I loved being able to go out and explore new things in the ocean that I didn't know were there right under our feet, literally! I can not wait to see what the rest of this trip has in store for us!
