If you look in the background of the second picture, you'll see the skate egg sacks from which these four little guys just emerged. You can often find these empty and dried egg sacks washed up on your local beach

    They look like they’re about to break into song, like a little cartoon choir. Cute.

    We used to call their egg sacks ‘Mermaid’s purses’
