One of the coolest things about the Virginia State Fair yesterday was the marine exhibit, which unfortunately I didn’t think to take any pictures of at all, probably because I was holding Sophia.

She got to pet a live horseshoe crab (and scream because I didn’t put her in the water with them 🀣) and see many other live marine animals from the Chesapeake Bay like blue and hermit crabs, pipefish, and spadefish.

I had no idea such exotic-looking fish lived nearby! There was even some kind of small fish that looked a little like a less-extravagant lionfish to me, with β€œwalking” pectoral fins to walk across the bottom. I can’t believe I forgot what it was called; if anyone can remind me, I would appreciate it!

IDK what the official name is but we call those walking fish β€œsea robins.”

YES that is what they were called! I guess it’s an official enough name for the conservators running the exhibit.

I would zap you in thanks ⚑️ πŸ™
