Lookdown

Selene vomer

Lookdowns are named for the unusual profile of their heads which slope sharply downward. Though the adults are mostly silver with yellowish fins like most jacks, young lookdowns have very extensive fin appendages and irregular bands that help disguise them among vegetation.

Heads Up!

The Virginia Living Museum staff will begin setting up for an after hours event around 3PM on the main floor.

This should not interfere with your experience and we will not be closing early.
