Next Stop The Abyss; Mysterious Creatures of the Deep…
Hold on tight for this virtual program, because we are diving deep, literally!! Participants will imagine what it's like… descending, deeper, and deeper, into the dark mysterious depths of the ocean. The wacky and intrepid oceanographer, Dr. Subterra in her homemade submarine (that's right homemade), will be our guide to the bottom of the sea. The journey will begin in the familiar sunlight layer, but that will be left behind quickly as participants descend... ever deeper,… to the twilight zone...descending... to the midnight zone, descending…into the abyss, and finally touchdown 36,000 feet below the surface! All along the way, Dr. Subterra will utilize her sub especially designed “specimen grabbers”, capable of securing items for closer inspection. Many of the mysterious creatures that we will grab along the way are little known to science, so Dr. Subterra will be an invaluable guide as she shares her knowledge with participants. It's a bizarre world down deep, where creatures can be teeny tiny, like copepods, while others will be humongous like the giant squid! Some will be spooky in the dark depths, like the goblin shark, while others cute like the Dumbo Octopus, some toothy like Angler fish, hairy like the Yeti Crab or some that even glow in the dark like the Dragonfish! Dr. Subterra will compare all of our discoveries with animals from the surface to gain a better understanding of all that we witness! Wait...a Colossal squid has got her sub!! how will she get loose of his deadly grasp?? Fingers crossed, participants might even cross paths with a mermaid, but can the specimen grabbers hold her??
