They can expertly maneuver and dodge predators]]> 2017-11-14 19:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/christian_clark_977/nrj0fh0twf79/wish/206914468 christian_clark_977 https://padlet.com/christian_clark_977/nrj0fh0twf79/wish/206916752 2017-11-14 19:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/christian_clark_977/nrj0fh0twf79/wish/206916752 christian_clark_977 https://padlet.com/christian_clark_977/nrj0fh0twf79/wish/206917432 2017-11-14 19:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/christian_clark_977/nrj0fh0twf79/wish/206917432 Fact Two: christian_clark_977 https://padlet.com/christian_clark_977/nrj0fh0twf79/wish/206919956 Since Red Shiners are laterally compressed they can only grow to approximately three inches. This allows for easy distinction between males and females. As a result their mating season is significantly shortened.]]> 2017-11-14 19:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/christian_clark_977/nrj0fh0twf79/wish/206919956 Fact Three: christian_clark_977 https://padlet.com/christian_clark_977/nrj0fh0twf79/wish/206921069 Over time, Red Shiners will change their colors.
