Breeanna begins her journey to encounter Marine pets!
Marine: Hawksbill Turtle
Flying through the warm salty sea, gliding effortlessly, twirling playfully in the surf, these little sea turtles are the darling of the depths!

@ Marine: Jelly Fish

Blue And Copper Egg
The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.

Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.

Marine: Jelly Fish
Bobbing and floating in the ocean's currents, watch carefully to stay away from the flowing tentacles!

@ Marine: Star Fish Twins
“You never know what sort of critter to expect next, do you, Astrid?" whispered Breeanna. “You know, small, cute and furry or really quite, um, large, with—er—very sharp teeth.” Astrid reassured Breeanna that all the critters were looking forward to meeting them, regardless of size, furriness, attractiveness and/or pointiness of teeth.
Marine: Star Fish Twins
Twinsies! Can you tell us apart? No? No worries, neither can we!

@ Marine: Sea Horse
Breeanna and BOB agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Breeanna and BOB exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels!
Marine: Sea Horse
If I just hang on lightly, I can catch those little tidbits floating on by. I blend right into the sea grasses, no one will suspect a thing!

@ Marine: Humboldt Penguins
“If there's time at the end of the day when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a charcoal picture of one of our new friends," Flopsy said, offering Breeanna a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Flopsy!" said Breeanna. "Very relaxing, and your portrait will be a great souvenir of our visit to all these interesting creatures!"
Marine: Humboldt Penguins
Waddling in the cool waters off the coast of South Africa, dressed up in their best black tie, the little penguins keep a sharp eye out on the waves, you never know when you'll have a surprise visitor!

@ Marine: Humboldt Penguins on the Beach
“Shall we take a selfie?” Breeanna asked Safeara as they drank in the scenery and admired their new friend standing between them.
Marine: Humboldt Penguins on the Beach
Who's going in first? I know, we'll get Mikey to! Mikey'll try anything! Go Mikey! Let us know how cold the surf is!

@ Marine: Mandarin Duck Pairs.
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Breeanna!” said Toby. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Breeanna good-naturedly took charge of Toby's possessions while he emptied his rucksack of a pack of sandwiches wrapped in greaseproof paper, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of chocolate peanuts, a paperback thriller, a bottle of orange squash, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old bus tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some very old receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and salad cream before locating the scarf right at the bottom. This he donned and then Breeanna helped him put everything back in his rucksack.
Marine: Mandarin Duck Pairs.
I'll be your wingman! Two good lookin' guys on the prowl searching for that perfect lady! Watching the shoreline, hoping to find the perfect mate!

@ Marine: Mallard and duckling
Firefly studied the itinerary thoughtfully for some time. “There's a lion-tailed macaque and a lion-headed goldfish,” she remarked. “Do you think there's a lion-tummied creature that we'll meet?”
Breeanna snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Firefly!"
Marine: Mallard and duckling
Optical illusions! The duck weed gives the impression we're swimming on solid ground, but be careful, it's all water out here! Wade in and see!

@ Marine: Red Belly Slider Turtle
Breeanna and **** had shaken paws and were now introducing themselves to the next critter who had come to meet them on this leg of the quest, who was eager to make friends and to show off a carefully tidied natural habitat!
Marine: Red Belly Slider Turtle
Gonna soak up the sun! Grab your kayak and paddle slowly, or you'll miss me basking on the lilies growing in the stagnant waters! Get too close and watch me plop and swim quickly!

@ Marine: Sea Otter Floating
“Shall we take a selfie?” Breeanna asked blue sunshine as they drank in the scenery and admired their new friend standing between them.
Marine: Sea Otter Floating
Is there anything cuter than an otter floating on the gentle sea waves? Maybe two!

@ Marine: Mandarin Ducks
Breeanna and Woolly agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Breeanna and Woolly exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels!
Marine: Mandarin Ducks
Skimming along the glassy water surface the ducks bob under the surface nibbling on plants and marine life.

@ Marine: Baby Otter Close Up
“Let’s pose with one of us each side of our new friend and I’ll set the self-timer to take a group shot,” said Breeanna to Wisp. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
Marine: Baby Otter Close Up
Romping around on land, one look into my cute button eyes, and I will be your favorite mammal of all time!

@ Marine: Crocodile
Breeanna was excited to meet up again with Gus. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them.
Marine: Crocodile
Barely cracking the glossy surface, my stealth mode is millions of years in the making! Some say I'm still left from the dinosaurs, but we both know that I'm just perfect and never needed to change!

Image 14/29

@ Marine: Flamingos Bobbing
“Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Sahara. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.”
“C’mon, Sahara, it’ll be fine—it’s not so very big; it's a trick of perspective, and anyway, it’s looking forward to meeting us!” said Breeanna.
Marine: Flamingos Bobbing
Delicious shrimps! Just under the surface, tasty little crustaceans, and for their gratitude for nibbling them, they've turned me pink!

@ Marine: Puffins at the Cliff
Oh look ... you won a pet!
Marine: Puffins at the Cliff
Just hanging out, standing on the cliff, waiting to glide on the currents!

@ Marine: Fiddler Crab
Mousey was sprawled flat on the grass after a good lunch. “What do you reckon is the tiniest creature we've met so far, Breeanna?” he queried sleepily.
Breeanna pondered. “Perhaps that gerbil?”
"Mmm. Or would it be the hummingbird, maybe?"
Marine: Fiddler Crab
I can fiddle but don't ask me to play the saxophone!

@ Marine: Baby Leatherback Turtle
“I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Breeanna. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?”
Lucifer shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Breeanna. How remiss of them!” Seeing Breeanna’s ears beginning to droop, Lucifer added, “Don’t worry, you can give your card to reception at the hotel to post.”
Marine: Baby Leatherback Turtle
The longest journey starts with one step! But this journey is not only long, but watch how fast I go! That shadow overhead just was the incentive I needed to kick it into high gear!

@ Marine: Seal Basking in the Sun
Breeanna was very happy to meet Mia here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
Marine: Seal Basking in the Sun
Basking away in the sun all day is the perfect day for me! Some say it's April 25th but I'll stick to all days with sun!

@ Marine: Starfish in the Tidepool
Breeanna was very happy to meet Symphony here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
Marine: Starfish in the Tidepool
Stars may shine above you, but don't forget to explore the tidepools at your feet! There's one now, slowly creeping along with all five legs!

@ Marine: Egret on the Shore
“Whatever were those screaming noises you were making earlier, Coal?" exclaimed Breeanna.
Coal looked embarrassed. "That wasn't screaming. That was me, er, singing, to enable the safari guide to find me when I couldn't find my way out of that cave!"
Marine: Egret on the Shore
Why, there's no "r-egret" when you meet an Egret!

@ Marine: Humboldt Penguin Swimming
“If there's time at the end of the day when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a charcoal picture of one of our new friends," Seattle said, offering Breeanna a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Seattle!" said Breeanna. "Very relaxing, and your portrait will be a great souvenir of our visit to all these interesting creatures!"
Marine: Humboldt Penguin Swimming
Oh yeah, you're jealous! Look at this treasure I found while swimming along, I'm using it in my next nest!

@ Marine: Lionfish
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Breeanna!” said Heleena. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Breeanna good-naturedly took charge of Heleena's possessions while she emptied her rucksack of a pack of sandwiches wrapped in greaseproof paper, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of chocolate peanuts, a paperback thriller, a bottle of orange squash, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old bus tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some very old receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and salad cream before locating the scarf right at the bottom. This she donned and then Breeanna helped her put everything back in her rucksack.
Marine: Lionfish
Patrolling the reef, and fanning out my impressive fins, I am the lion of the sea!

@ Marine: Goldfish Bubbles
“Did you see what happened to Foxy earlier, tigg?” exclaimed Breeanna. "He was balancing on a log trying to take a selfie with one of the critters we met, and it rolled over and pitched him into a bank of nettles!"
tigg joined in Breeanna's heartless laughter. “He was still brushing bits of nettle out of his fur when we went for lunch!”
Marine: Goldfish Bubbles
Goldfish bobbing at the surface bubbling bubbles at the surface!

@ Marine: Yellow Fish
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Breeanna!” said ashley. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Breeanna good-naturedly took charge of ashley's possessions while she emptied her rucksack of a pack of sandwiches wrapped in greaseproof paper, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of chocolate peanuts, a paperback thriller, a bottle of orange squash, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old bus tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some very old receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and salad cream before locating the scarf right at the bottom. This she donned and then Breeanna helped her put everything back in her rucksack.
Marine: Yellow Fish
Do you see the bubbles? I don't see the bubbles! Who moved the bubbles? Check the seaweed! I need my bubbles!

@ Marine: Lionhead Goldfish
Wuzzy studied the itinerary thoughtfully for some time. “There's a lion-tailed macaque and a lion-headed goldfish,” he remarked. “Do you think there's a lion-tummied creature that we'll meet?”
Breeanna snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Wuzzy!"
Marine: Lionhead Goldfish
Do you see the resemblance? I don't! I am hairless. Seriously, I just don't see that I look like a lion. Maybe it's my R-O-A-R? Scary, isn't it?

Image 26/29

@ Marine: Sea Squirts
"Hey there, Breeanna! Did you hear how Fresco fell off the landing stage into the sea while trying to get a better view of one of the creatures?"
"He was still squelching when he got back on the tour bus, Snipsnap!"
Marine: Sea Squirts
Translucent in color, these colorful creatures anchor themselves to the roots and rocks in the warm waters in the Indian River. Just don't startle them, they don't respond well!

@ Marine: Dolphins in the Surf
“Have you seen those fabulous pink and white flamingo suncatchers in the giftshop, Breeanna?” asked Lady. “I'm going to buy one as a souvenir of our time here!”
“Sounds great!” responded Breeanna.

Marine: Dolphins in the Surf
Frolicking close to shore, these incredibly smart dolphins entertain by just the sheer joy of leaping in the surf!

@ Marine: Puffin
“Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Whistle. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.”
“C’mon, Whistle, it’ll be fine—it’s not so very big; it's a trick of perspective, and anyway, it’s looking forward to meeting us!” said Breeanna.
Marine: Puffin
Taking off from the water's surface, puffins are sometimes confused with penguins, which, they consider a compliment!

@ Marine: Little White Fish
Breeanna has now met enough "Marine" pets to last a lifetime. As she exits the experience, she receives a wonderful gift!
Frosted Azure Waterfall
The pristine waters fall freely, yet the last frost of the season delicately coats the top of each tier, adding an otherworldly glow as the sun refracts off them.

Marine: Little White Fish
Slippery fish, slippery fish! Swimming in the waters!
Breeanna has enjoyed meeting "Marine" pets, but it is time to go home now! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also meet pets of every shape and size!
