Up close and personal with a sea urchin
This sea urchin died of natural causes. You can see the hole through which a predator entered the exoskeleton and ate the animal inside. I am quite partial to sea urchins: they’re really interesting when they’re alive, they’re really, really good when they’re food and beautiful when they’re dead. What’s not to love?
Together with Nicole Duplaix, Chair of the IUCN-SSC Otter Specialist Group , I wrote a book all about otters and how wonderful they are. Check it out We Love Otters
