About This Activity
Remember the tagline for Goldfish crackers— “the snack that smiles back”? Well, we’re pretty sure they got their inspiration from a sheepshead. All jokes aside, these fish genuinely do look like they’re smiling right back at you. Sheepshead have human-like teeth that closely resemble those of sheep (hence the name), complete with well-defined incisors, molars, and grinders. They use these powerful teeth to crush and grind the hard shells of crustaceans and mollusks. Join us for a week full of toothy activities, a fish dissection, and black-and-white art. Grab your masks and snorkels—sheepshead love to hide among structures and rock pilings, just waiting to be discovered. You won’t want to miss the week that’s sure to be love at first bite.
