Some Sunshine Coast students are getting a visit from the Vancouver Aquarium’s AquaVan this week.
The specially equipped mobile aquarium is a temporary home to small marine life, like sea stars, anemones and urchins.
Aquarium staff will also be teaching the kids about sea life in the Arctic, with special displays like a humpback whale rib bone, and a beluga skull.
Catriona Wilson is the manager of the AquaVan. She says kids are curious, and they want to know pretty much what you’d expect elementary-aged kids would want to know.
“We have all kinds of questions,” she says. “Usually we speak a lot about how the animals eat, and how they move around, and sometimes how they poop.”
The AquaVan is at Kinnikinnick elementary December 3rd, and Cedar Grove on the 4th. But, it is for students only, there are no public events this time out.
