Flying through the warm salty sea, gliding effortlessly, twirling playfully in the surf, these little sea turtles are the darling of the depths!

Blue And Gold 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
“Do you remember our last safari, Cherokee?” exclaimed Tigger. "I remember being really quite scared, trying to find the way out of that labyrinth in the dark!"
Cherokee agreed. “D'you remember that scorpion? It was quite a shock coming across him in the light of the dim and flaring lamps, although he turned out to be very nice in the end.”
"It's hard to believe that was two years ago, Cherokee," remarked Tigger.
Marine: Star Fish Twins
Twinsies! Can you tell us apart? No? No worries, neither can we!

@ Marine: Sea Horse
"Hey there, Tigger! 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, blade!"
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
"I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Icicle, after she and Tigger had spent some time exploring another rural pathway to its end and meeting nearby inhabitants.
"Is there a gift shop at the end?" enquired Tigger. "The thought of that generally keeps me going."
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
Tigger and Lilly shook paws and said “How do you do?” to the next creature who had come to meet them, and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Tigger. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Lilly. “Being on the right shows my best side.”
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.
Sweetie pie groaned, clutching her stomach. "Oh, my poor tum. Why are so many of these places only accessible by boat? I've never been a good sailor, you know."
"Never mind, Sweetie pie," sympathised Tigger. "It's ages till we set off back, and with lots of walking around visiting the different creatures, you'll feel as right as rain in no time!"
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
"Hey, you should have joined Foxy and me for lunch at that café, Tigger!" said Frank.
"Oh, I couldn't resist going to that street exhibition of art by local pets. I grabbed a cheese and onion pasty from a street vendor. Anyway, what did you both have to eat?"
"We had celery soup and a sandwich each. It was great!" responded Frank.
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
“Whatever were those screaming noises you were making earlier, Choose a name?" exclaimed Tigger.
Choose a name 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: 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
lilycat 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?”
Tigger snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, lilycat!"
Marine: Sea Otter Floating
Is there anything cuter than an otter floating on the gentle sea waves? Maybe two!

@ Marine: Mandarin Ducks
“I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Tigger. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?”
Baile Átha Cliath shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Tigger. How remiss of them!” Seeing Tigger’s ears beginning to droop, Baile Átha Cliath added, “Don’t worry, you can give your card to reception at the hotel to post.”
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
Layla 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?”
Tigger snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Layla!"
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
"Hey there, Tigger! 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, Wyatt!"
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!

@ Marine: Flamingos Bobbing
“I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Tigger. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?”
Lalique shielded her eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Tigger. How remiss of them!” Seeing Tigger’s ears beginning to droop, Lalique added, “Don’t worry, you can give your card to reception at the hotel to post.”
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!

Just hanging out, standing on the cliff, waiting to glide on the currents!

@ Marine: Fiddler Crab
“Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Sea Breeze. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.”
“C’mon, Sea Breeze, 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 Tigger.
Marine: Fiddler Crab
I can fiddle but don't ask me to play the saxophone!

@ Marine: Baby Leatherback Turtle
“You never know what sort of critter to expect next, do you, Allie Kat?" whispered Tigger. “You know, small, cute and furry or really quite, um, large, with—er—very sharp teeth.” Allie Kat reassured Tigger that all the critters were looking forward to meeting them, regardless of size, furriness, attractiveness and/or pointiness of teeth.
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
"Hey there, Tigger! 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, Bubbles!"
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
Tigger and Miss Tan agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Tigger and Miss Tan 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: 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
Mandy was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Tigger unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking Mandy’s sunhat off.
“Put that away, do!” said Mandy, in some irritation. “We’re about to pose with this amazing creature—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!”
Marine: Egret on the Shore
Why, there's no "r-egret" when you meet an Egret!

@ Marine: Humboldt Penguin Swimming
Tigger and Pippa had shaken paws and then took some time to enjoy looking at the next creature in its habitat in a companionable silence!
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
“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," Seth Freakin'Monkey said, offering Tigger a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for himself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Seth Freakin'Monkey!" said Tigger. "Very relaxing, and your portrait will be a great souvenir of our visit to all these interesting creatures!"
Marine: Lionfish
Patrolling the reef, and fanning out my impressive fins, I am the lion of the sea!

@ Marine: Goldfish Bubbles
Tigger and Baby got so engrossed in the conversation they were having with their fascinating new friend that they had to hurry along so as not to be left behind! They regretfully bade farewell to their new chum and promised to visit again!
Marine: Goldfish Bubbles
Goldfish bobbing at the surface bubbling bubbles at the surface!

@ Marine: Yellow Fish
“Whatever were those screaming noises you were making earlier, Pixie?" exclaimed Tigger.
Pixie 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: 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
Archie 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?”
Tigger snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Archie!"
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
Both Eevee and Tigger loved the scenery at the next stop, and they both enjoyed introducing themselves to their new friend, who had been waiting to meet them!
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: Puffin
"It's turned a bit hot, Tigger. I'm going to put my sunhat on," said Chip.
"Good scheme! I'll dig mine out as well," said Tigger.
Marine: Puffin
Taking off from the water's surface, puffins are sometimes confused with penguins, which, they consider a compliment!

@ Marine: Little White Fish
Tigger has now met enough "Marine" pets to last a lifetime. As he exits the experience, he 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!
Tigger 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!
