This previous Tuesday, we were admitted to go to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo, on our annual Zoo Day. Many stations and activities were put up to signify where we were supposed to go next. Out of the many stations, and activities that were completed, I really enjoyed going over to the stingrays. Ever since I was a child, being a marine biologists was a dream of mine. I always enjoyed going over to see, and touch the see animals. They were always so peaceful. Although they are care free, it doesn't mean that they are happy. Some studies show that the dolphin stresses the most, of almost all of the animals. Millions are being captivated, and held against their will, which should not be permitted in my case.
Back to the topic, I really enjoyed seeing the stingrays, and being able to touch them. The water they swam in seemed very tranquil, as their movements were as well. We were able to feed them, but not many came to our hands. They might have been too frightened, or scared to come that close top the surface. The activity we finished was about sharks, and the eggs they lay. They can give birth to about 2 at a time, and some don't quite make it to the ocean. The egg is very similar to a pouch. The poch is enclosed by a string like substance. T
