| Buttonwood Park Zoo "Berkshires to
the Sea" Overnight Sail This overnight sail was a component of a
program literally linking the Berkshires to the
coastal environment onboard Schooner Ernestina.
Participants came aboard and sailed to West
Island where they anchored overnight, examined
the catch from an otter trawl and learned about
the operation of an historic sailing ship.
You get a close-up view of a
Mantis Shrimp. Apparently they are good eating
but beware! The front legs are very sharp and
they can give your fingers a deep cut! Look
closely. They legs look very much like those of a
Praying Mantis on land.
