Two more posts to go! Should be up tomorrow if everything goes as planned.
Some of the crabs (and a lobster) on display.
A crab with a weird name, the Dana’s Eyes-wide-apart Crab.
A Hairy Crab. Is this the same kind of crab that we eat? (No it probably isn’t, it’s too hairy)
Fish with weird names, the Dirty-faced Goby and the Little Warty Catfish. And you thought your parents gave you a horrible name.
Pufferfish. More specifically, Spotted-tail Frogfish, Porcupinefish, Reticulated Pufferfish and Clown(can’t read the name from the photo).
Hollow-cheek Stonefish. Stonefish are the most dangerous of known venomous fish. My sister is scared of them cause they look just like stones, but if you step on one, you suffer from shock, paralysis and death within hours if no medical attention is sought. There’s a Rhinocerous Boxfish in one of the jars beside it. Boxfish are so poisonous that they are usually kept alone, cause if they get worried by other fish, the poison they release is so toxic that it kills every fish in the tank, including the boxfish itself.
Shark teeth. You can see the rows of teeth in the shark’s mouth. If one of its teeth falls out, the ones behind move forward to replace it. That’s why sharks are never toothless.
Next up: Insects
