The first thing Diana talked about was Stingrays and she had three stingers from them with her. We got told stories about them and facts about them. We then got told about the crocodile man and she said that he died because a Stingray's stinger went through his heart. Also a Stingray’s worst predator is an Orca. We also got shown a Horseshoe Crab shell and she talked about horseshoe crabs.
Duffy Visitor
On Wednesday the fifth of April we had a duffy visitor at our school that talked about facts of wildlife, marine life and other things as well. Her name was Diana Queenin and she was here for about an hour talking and handed out duffy books as well.
She also had a shedded snake skin from an Egyptian Cobra. We got told facts about snakes and she said she had to wait nearly all day for the snake to shed it’s skin. Also she talked about snakes using jaw dislocation for eating their prey. They first wrap around their prey and tighten around them squishing them and then they dislocate their jaw and wrap around your head and start jaw walking. Jaw walking is when snakes walk with their jaw when it is dislocated and they move one jaw down at a time. Then when they reach your shoulders they dislocate their jaws more and keep walking down to swallow you whole.
Then she showed us a geode and a piece of quartz crystal. She told us about geodes and quartz. We got told that quartz takes a long time to develope and the cave they grow is hot.Then she brought out some fossils of an ammonite. They were around for many years but died out quite a long time ago.There used to be a lot in the oceans many years ago. Also she talked about Trilobites. She then handed a rock to somebody and then about a minute later she said it was dinosaur poop. It was around fifty two million years old.Then she handed out duffy books to the school and packed up and then she left. It was quite an interesting day.
