Day 14: Barnacles

Cyrus, Zander and I spent some time at the Lighthouse Point dog beach this morning: field research for a barnacles project.  Did you know:  barnacles are crustaceans (related to crabs and lobsters), barnacles have the largest penises in the animal kingdom (this fact is not a part of Cyrus' power point project), the brown adhesive they secrete in order to attach themselves to a hard surface is being researched by the dental industry for it's adhesive properties, the barnacles pictured below are called acorn barnacles.
