Yesterday evening we sat on the shores of Acapulco Bay and watch the sunset. When it was dark we noticed a creature by the shore. I am guessing it is some kind of sea urchin but I really don't know.

I have seen some sea urchins and never noticed a face like this one. However, this has spikes like a sea urchin. I know one thing, I wouldn't have wanted to step on it.

This worries me. I didn't go in the water yesterday because I didn't have my bathing suit. What if I had and stepped on it. Would it have stung me? This guy appeared to be dead. But I really don't know.

I have heard about people getting stung by sea urchins and the rumor is that if it happens you should pee on it. I have also heard that this doesn't work and that you should soak the wound in hot water for a long time to break down the poison.

I find this creepy and beautiful at the same time.
