The surface of the water might seem calm, but down under there is an exciting world filled with all kinds of life. Hungry Mother State Park rangers are excited to give you a sneak peak of this world by submerging special lights which will attract aquatic life not usually seen in the water. Let's watch to see if any of the larger animals munch on the smaller aquatic critters that can be attracted to the light.
