Welcome to the World!

WELCOME POSEIDON!

Poseidon hatched today (December 18, 2014) at 12:34PM. Nate, the Marine Biologist, came in and helped Poseidon out. Check out this wonderful video of Poseidon coming out of the egg and into the world! (Video does not play on tablets or iPads.)

Poseidon will be making a new home at the Aquarium of Boise. For the first few months he will be found in the hallway across from the drinking fountain with a name tag on his tank. After that he will be moved to the tanks where kids can pet him. What a great experience watching him grow and develop!

Poseidon, we will miss you!

Poseidon's Window

Poseidon, our bamboo shark got his (her) window to the world when Nate, the Marine Biologist from the Aquarium of Boise came in to cut open the shark egg and place the window. Watch the video to see this amazing change!

Shark Egg!

We are fortunate this year to be included in the Aquarium of Boise's Shark Egg program. Nate, the marine biologist delivered our class Shark Egg last week. We will get to watch this little guy/gal develop in its egg until it hatches (probably in Dec.). Nate will be coming in periodically to check on the egg and talk to us about what is happening! What a great opportunity!

Get a glimpse of our shark in its egg below. The brown thing is the actual egg shell, the dark spot at the bottom is the yolk or food for the shark, and the wiggly worm thing is the shark. Enjoy!
