It is pretty hilarious watching my boys collect the various wildlife that dares show it's face while they are prowling the beach. They dare each other to pick up the crabs, they've learned by one's unfortunate experience that jellyfish are not worth touching. Today they found a school of very unlucky small fish that got caught in a shallow tidal pool. My boys knew the fish should be in a bucket rather than this natural habitat.
To keep balance my wife times the captures so that any animal gets freed after 5 minutes. The boys try hard to stretch the 5 minutes, or to find a place that counts as "freed", but still affords them the fun of playing with the critters.
It's good for the species that we only live at this beach for 2 weeks at a time.
