(I volunteer at an aquarium and often work at our touch tank.)
Visitor: “Oh, look! Stingrays!”
Me: “Actually, ma’am, those are horseshoe crabs.”
Visitor: “How can you tell?”
Me: *flipping the crab over* “It has claws and feet. Stingrays don’t have feet. Would you like to touch it?”
Visitor: “No! It will sting me!”
Me: “No, ma’am, I assure it is safe.”
Visitor: “I don’t think so! You must just be immune!”
Visitor’s 12-Year-Old Son: “Mom! It’s in the touch tank!”
This story is included in our Aquarium roundup!
