Stormy begins his 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!

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

Marine: Star Fish Twins
Twinsies! Can you tell us apart? No? No worries, neither can we!

@ Marine: Sea Horse
“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 Stormy to Fyzbana. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
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
“Did you see what happened to Foxy earlier, Tiara Maxwell?” exclaimed Stormy. "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!"
Tiara Maxwell joined in Stormy's heartless laughter. “He was still brushing bits of nettle out of his fur when we went for lunch!”
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
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Stormy!” said merlin. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Stormy good-naturedly took charge of merlin'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 Stormy helped him put everything back in his rucksack.
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.
“How do you do?” said Stormy to their amazing and friendly new acquaintance on their mini-safari, shaking paws.
Foxy chipped in. “It’s so kind of you to allow us to visit you in your habitat. Stormy and I—and all the rest of us, of course!—are enjoying our mini-safari very much indeed!”
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 there, Stormy! 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, Aria!"
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
“Did you see what happened to Foxy earlier, Kia?” exclaimed Stormy. "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!"
Kia joined in Stormy's heartless laughter. “He was still brushing bits of nettle out of his fur when we went for lunch!”
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
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Stormy. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
Marmite glanced up from his tour guide, in which he had been looking up where they were going the next day. “How come you're so hungry, Stormy?”
Stormy pouted. "I was just unwrapping my lunch pack when a creature ran down the tree behind me, grabbed the lot and shot back up the tree!"
"Bad luck!" sympathised Marmite. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

Marine: Sea Otter Floating
Is there anything cuter than an otter floating on the gentle sea waves? Maybe two!

@ Marine: Mandarin Ducks
Both Pandette and Stormy 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: 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
"Hey there, Stormy! 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, Zen!"
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
Wuzzy was sprawled flat on the grass after a good lunch. “What do you reckon is the tiniest creature we've met so far, Stormy?” he queried sleepily.
Stormy pondered. “Perhaps that gerbil?”
"Mmm. Or would it be the hummingbird, maybe?"
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
“Have you seen those fabulous pink and white flamingo suncatchers in the giftshop, Stormy?” asked Ciaré. “I'm going to buy one as a souvenir of our time here!”
“Sounds great!” responded Stormy.

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
“It's so cool to have a species name in Latin as well as English, Stormy!” said moo moo, studying the detail in the tour guide. "What would we each called in Latin?"
"I don't know," said Stormy. "We'll look it up when we get back to the hotel tonight!"
Marine: Fiddler Crab
I can fiddle but don't ask me to play the saxophone!

Image 17/29

@ Marine: Baby Leatherback Turtle
“Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Draco. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.”
“C’mon, Draco, 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 Stormy.
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
Marty Mole 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?”
Stormy snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Marty Mole!"
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
Stormy was excited to meet up again with Panda. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them.
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
DILLIGAS was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Stormy unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking DILLIGAS’s sunhat off.
“Put that away, do!” said DILLIGAS, 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
“What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Stormy. Champ agreed with Stormy. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!”
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
Henrietta Humperdink 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, Henrietta Humperdink," sympathised Stormy. "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: Lionfish
Patrolling the reef, and fanning out my impressive fins, I am the lion of the sea!

Image 23/29

@ Marine: Goldfish Bubbles
Munich groaned, clutching his 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, Munich," sympathised Stormy. "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: Goldfish Bubbles
Goldfish bobbing at the surface bubbling bubbles at the surface!

Image 24/29

@ Marine: Yellow Fish
Stormy and Noelle had shaken paws and then took some time to enjoy looking at the next creature in its habitat in a companionable silence!
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
“Shall we take a selfie?” Stormy asked Jillie as they drank in the scenery and admired their new friend standing between them.
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
“Did you see what happened to Foxy earlier, gemma?” exclaimed Stormy. "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!"
gemma joined in Stormy's heartless laughter. “He was still brushing bits of nettle out of his fur when we went for lunch!”
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!

Image 27/29

@ Marine: Dolphins in the Surf
Stormy and Mischief agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Stormy and Mischief 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: 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, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Stormy!” said frisky. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Stormy good-naturedly took charge of frisky'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 Stormy helped him put everything back in his rucksack.
Marine: Puffin
Taking off from the water's surface, puffins are sometimes confused with penguins, which, they consider a compliment!

@ Marine: Little White Fish
Stormy 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!
Stormy 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!
