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

Purple Flower Power Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

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

@ Marine: Star Fish Twins
While Nutella paused to drink in the view, Ike started scrabbling in his rucksack for his portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Ike?” asked Nutella. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!”
Marine: Star Fish Twins
Twinsies! Can you tell us apart? No? No worries, neither can we!

@ Marine: Sea Horse
Tundra 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, Tundra," sympathised Nutella. "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: 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
While Nutella paused to drink in the view, Toothless started scrabbling in his rucksack for his portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Toothless?” asked Nutella. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!”
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
“Do you remember our last safari, why.way?” exclaimed Nutella. "I remember being really quite scared, trying to find the way out of that labyrinth in the dark!"
why.way 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, why.way," remarked Nutella.
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 Nutella to their amazing and friendly new acquaintance on their mini-safari, shaking paws.
Corgalicious chipped in. “It’s so kind of you to allow us to visit you in your habitat. Nutella 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
“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 Nutella to Ozzie. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
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
Nutella and Grayson 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
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Nutella," said Selene, "for this experience alone?" Nutella, admiring the creature at the centre of the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
Marine: Sea Otter Floating
Is there anything cuter than an otter floating on the gentle sea waves? Maybe two!

Image 11/29

@ Marine: Mandarin Ducks
“What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Nutella. Shadow agreed with Nutella. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!”
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
Petunia 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?”
Nutella snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Petunia!"
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
Bess 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?”
Nutella snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Bess!"
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 think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Night Wing, after he and Nutella had spent some time exploring another rural pathway to its end and meeting nearby inhabitants.
"Is there a gift shop at the end?" enquired Nutella. "The thought of that generally keeps me going."
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
Nutella and Choose a name 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 Nutella. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Choose a name. “Being on the right shows my best side.”
Marine: Fiddler Crab
I can fiddle but don't ask me to play the saxophone!

@ Marine: Baby Leatherback Turtle
“Whatever were those screaming noises you were making earlier, Marvin?" exclaimed Nutella.
Marvin 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: 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
Nutella and Minerva had shaken paws and then took some time to enjoy looking at the next creature in its habitat in a companionable silence!
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
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Nutella!” said Angel. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Nutella good-naturedly took charge of Angel'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 Nutella helped her put everything back in her rucksack.
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
Nutella was excited to meet up again with Sarah. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them.
Marine: Egret on the Shore
Why, there's no "r-egret" when you meet an Egret!

@ Marine: Humboldt Penguin Swimming
“It's so cool to have a species name in Latin as well as English, Nutella!” said stardust, studying the detail in the tour guide. "What would we each called in Latin?"
"I don't know," said Nutella. "We'll look it up when we get back to the hotel tonight!"
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
“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 Nutella to gleam feather. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
Marine: Lionfish
Patrolling the reef, and fanning out my impressive fins, I am the lion of the sea!

Goldfish bobbing at the surface bubbling bubbles at the surface!

@ Marine: Yellow Fish
“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," dragolia said, offering Nutella a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself.
“That sounds like a good plan, dragolia!" said Nutella. "Very relaxing, and your portrait will be a great souvenir of our visit to all these interesting creatures!"
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!

Image 25/29

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

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
“It's so cool to have a species name in Latin as well as English, Nutella!” said Solo, studying the detail in the tour guide. "What would we each called in Latin?"
"I don't know," said Nutella. "We'll look it up when we get back to the hotel tonight!"
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
Nutella and Starlite had shaken paws and then took some time to enjoy looking at the next creature in its habitat in a companionable silence!
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
Mister 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, Mister," sympathised Nutella. "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: Puffin
Taking off from the water's surface, puffins are sometimes confused with penguins, which, they consider a compliment!

@ Marine: Little White Fish
Nutella 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!
Nutella 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!
