We walked out along this rocky pier and watched a pod of dolphins swimming in circles, probably eating some tasty fishies. I learned that dolphins and porpoises are technically groups as "toothed whales." This lovely quiet park is just a few miles up the coast from the crowded boardwalks of Rehoboth.
A horsehoe crab that got washed up on the beach, belly up. These creatures predate the dinosaurs and have been around for 300,000 years! take that, creationists! Unfortunately, industrial fishing is making a serious dent in their population, which in turn affects the migratig birds that feed on them. A substance in their blood is useed to test for various deadly diseases. Who knew?
