Dive into Earth’s largest ecosystem and examine intriguing examples of diverse ocean life. Discover Malacology – the study of mollusks, invertebrate creatures with soft, unsegmented bodies, many of which house themselves in shells. This fascinating and highly diverse group of animals includes more than 100,000 species, ranging in size from snails so small that we can barely see them to giant squids more than 60 feet long. This interactive class includes a time in the Hall of Malacology.
