Trip to Charleston... Love!

I personally love videos. This is filled with them. I had to !!

An introduction about the program and the buildings. 


The Specimen room. A room where specimens of animals from the 1960-present are stored. If other labs around the country need a certain specimen... you would contact this building for it. awesome stuff here.(dead animals? yes!)

Just 1/4 of a shelf.. There were rows upon rows... There is a set of escalators to view the ones on the high shelves



Large specimen box... Smells funkyyy, but they are large fishes.


A specimen of fish. IDK what it was. 

Little bottles. Crabs

Little bottles of crabs


Of course I had to hold some of these... I'm curious.

The guys in the back looking at a sample. This is the specimen room.



After the specimen room. We went to a lab where animals were shown to us =). 

Explaining the difference between male and female blue crab. Female blue crabs have a punch to protect her babies from getting hurt (blue crabs either swim or drag themselves on the sand) WHY is blue crab so delicious? Because they are swimmers and their bodies (shells) are mostly tasty muscles.

So I didn't know how to rotate my camera. There will be parts where the video goes vertical...Sorry.
