A display case showcasing a variety of squid models arranged in a sandy habitat with seagrass. The text at the top reads: “There are many kinds of squid - from small to giant.” The exhibit includes small squid models labeled “Western Atlantic Brief Squid” and “Inshore Squid” near the seagrass, while a larger squid model labeled “Humboldt Squid” dominates the right side of the case. A sign at the bottom asks, “How many squid can you find hiding in the grassflat?” The background includes sand, rocks, and seagrass to mimic a natural underwater environment.
