Have you ever seen a Scallop run away from a Sea Star?

Have you ever seen a Sea Scallop run away from a Sea Star?  Well now you have! Did you know the Sea Star (starfish) is the natural predator of the Scallop?  In the oceans the Sea Star will bind itself to the shell of the scallop, slowly prying it open overtime.

The Sea Scallop exerts so much effort to open up & "run" away from the Sea Star, that it can actually take years off its life.  With that, please enjoy the video, but don't try this next time you visit the Aquarium...we'd like those Scallops to live as long as possible.

Keep your eye on the Scallop!

Stranger things have happened

Now you definitely don't see this everyday!  I found this fluffy little bat in the grille of my Dodge Journey the morning after a 10 hour round trip drive.

I think I picked him up on the Merritt Parkway on my way home from Connecticut.  Poor little guy - I don't think he ever had a chance.

I wanted to keep him.  The leathery wings would have made an awesome necklace!  I was, however, out voted by my husband who did not want the germs in the house.  Needless to day the little guy found an eternal resting place in the woods behind our house.
