1:00pm Sea Monsters Revealed Exhibit
Advisor: Dr. Monica Lara
Number of Students: 15
Like the human anatomy exhibits that now circle the globe, Sea Monsters Revealed uses the revolutionary polymer preservation technique commonly known as plastination to bring real sea animals onto dry land for an up-close and personal look at the most mysterious creatures the deep sea has to offer. Visitors will not only see the outside, but also the inside of the most elusive aquatic life ever discovered, including a 6-foot-wide manta ray, a 15-foot-long mako shark, a giant squid, and an 18-foot-long, 3,000 pound whale shark. All specimens in the exhibition are authentic, stunning examples of the mysteries that lie beyond our shores and have been carefully recovered in accordance with the highest animal protection standards.
Students get to experience this exhibit as well as all the other exhibits at MOSI!!! Trip costs $5 for students on a first come first pay basis. Funds are collected by Mr. Carl Opper our Advisor on the Clearwater campus. No van will be taken on this trip, so students are required to carpool or meet at MOSI's main entrance at 10:50am.
