Entrepid Exploris Explorers
13th Jun 2019
Waving goodbye to our bus as we leave Strangford on the ferry.
It's a bit breezy on deck!
Looking out for jellyfish.
Which way to Portaferry?
Row, row, row your boat...
The touch tank in Exploris. Time to roll up your sleeves...
...and get your hands wet.
What can you see?
How does a starfish feel?
A nice spot for a rest.
What is this?
Who's looking at who?
This creature is so well camouflaged you probably can't see it.
Which one's Nemo and which one's Dory?
Anyone fancy a swim?
What are they looking at?
This turtle got lost on his way to Tenerife.
Wow!
I think he knows how to get home now.
A giant fish tank. Mesmerising.
A black tipped shark. Can anyone remember why sharks have to keep swimming?
What are we having for lunch?
These two seal pups have been rescued and are being looked after until they can be released back into the wild. How many seals did Exploris help this year?
And Exploris provides a sanctuary for otters too.
They love to eat molluscs.
Now how did this visitor arrive in Exploris? I think he's a long way from home.
Time to roll the sleeves up again...
...and get to meet the dogfish and the stingrays.
P4 loved every minute of our trip to Exploris. We had the chance to get close to such a variety of amazing sea life and we want to make sure that these creatures will be here for future generations. So let's do something drastic and reduce our use of plastic because our oceans are fantastic!!
