Ocean coloring book with stickers.

Back when all I feared was the eel lurking in a pipe by a marsh, my sweet maternal grandparents gave us these ocean-themed books.

Lamprey fear has never left me.

Eels are cute, though it is funny to scare my son with tales of sea sneks 🐍 !

Loons aren't ducks! They're their own thing -- with legs way back on the end of their body, making them poor walkers.

AND Bald Eagles ARE kind of endangered.

Actually, bald eagles aren't endangered any longer. They were moved from 'Endangered' to 'Threatened' in 1995, and from 'Threatened' to 'Least Concern' in 2007 - in the lower 48 states at least. Even though I live in a small urbanized state (Maryland), I see them all the time.

But don't plan a hunting trip any time soon - a US Federal law dating to the 1940's still makes it illegal to hunt, trap, harass, or kill both bald and golden eagles.

Isn't it nuts that there were 2 illegal aliens in Nebraska who chose to kill a bald eagle?

If we here aren't old enough to have watched 'On Golden Pond' with Fonda and Hepburn in their dottage, we may remember VH 1 etc mocking the hooning of that loon. Before the phone meme era.

It got funnier the more they played it

Not so rare. They use them to improve blood flow to skin grafts and reattachment surgeries.

Yeah, and some people actually use maggots to clean a wound! They just let the maggots crawl around in the wound and the maggots will emit a secretion that will help get rid of all the dead and infected tissue, which lets an open wound close, which helps it heal faster! Pretty cool, huh?

Yup! As I understand it, they eat the dead tissue and leave the living tissue completely alone. It cleans out necrotic wounds on a much finer scale than any doctor can.

Used in combat when medical attention was not immediately available.

If in a stationary position, one could fight while the maggots did their work.

Never seen Canadian coins, so I didn't guess loon. I think several Europeans have the same experience.

Yep. The $1 coins are called Loonies. The $2 coins are then called Toonies. Silly Canadians.

I only know it because it the names ^ mentioned above; I'm not Canadian either. But not too many birds start with "L", at least suborders/species/groups of them. After guessing, say, "lark," and....just kidding, I can't think of any others....anyway..."loon" would be one of the others I would guess. (What other birds start with "L"?? I know there are some!)

Since the clue specifically mentions Maine, I think "lobsta" should be an acceptable spelling!

The crustacean fished for in Maine is actually dark blue until cooked, when it turns red. The only red lobsters found in any numbers are Cape Lobsters, found in the waters off South Africa. As the LobstersAnywhere site states: "The Cape Lobster, found in the seas around South Africa, and in fact only recently included in the Nephropidae family, is actually the only lobster variety that is red whilst alive." [Sure that's pedantic, but this is a trivia site, isn't it?]

It is a good comment. Most people think lobsters are red. I knew they werent, but didnt know there was actually one species that was,. I did know some lobsters are two-toned, split down the middle, due to chimera, one side can be male other half female. Rare but extraordinairy

Yeah, I don't think they should include red unless they mean the cooked variety. "Crustacean fished for off the coast of Maine, known for its claw and tail meat."

That threw me too. I think it must refer to their carrying stuff, like a packhorse (though who uses that term now?) rather than hunting in a pack like wolves or hyenas.
