@ Marine: Jelly Fish

Yellow Daisy 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
“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," Skye said, offering Chip a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Skye!" said Chip. "Very relaxing, and your portrait will be a great souvenir of our visit to all these interesting creatures!"
Marine: Star Fish Twins
Twinsies! Can you tell us apart? No? No worries, neither can we!

@ Marine: Sea Horse
While Chip paused to drink in the view, Choose a name started scrabbling in her rucksack for her portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Choose a name?” asked Chip. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!”
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
moo moo 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?”
Chip snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, moo moo!"
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
“How do you do?” said Chip to their amazing and friendly new acquaintance on their mini-safari, shaking paws.
Jack chipped in. “It’s so kind of you to allow us to visit you in your habitat. Chip and I—and all the rest of us, of course!—are enjoying our mini-safari very much indeed!”
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!

“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 Chip to Dani. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
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!

“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 Chip to Sif. “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
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Chip. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
Choose a name glanced up from her tour guide, in which she had been looking up where they were going the next day. “How come you're so hungry, Chip?”
Chip 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 Choose a name. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

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’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Chip. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?”
Applesauce shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Chip. How remiss of them!” Seeing Chip’s ears beginning to droop, Applesauce added, “Don’t worry, you can give your card to reception at the hotel to post.”
Marine: Sea Otter Floating
Is there anything cuter than an otter floating on the gentle sea waves? Maybe two!

@ Marine: Mandarin Ducks
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Chip. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
Tommy 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, Chip?”
Chip 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 Tommy. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

Skimming along the glassy water surface the ducks bob under the surface nibbling on plants and marine life.

@ Marine: Baby Otter Close Up
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Chip," said Nicole, "for this experience alone?" Chip, admiring the creature at the centre of the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
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
Chip was very happy to meet Miss Flicka here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
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
Rufus was sprawled flat on the grass after a good lunch. “What do you reckon is the tiniest creature we've met so far, Chip?” he queried sleepily.
Chip pondered. “Perhaps that gerbil?”
"Mmm. Or would it be the hummingbird, maybe?"
Marine: Flamingos Bobbing
Delicious shrimps! Just under the surface, tasty little crustaceans, and for their gratitude for nibbling them, they've turned me pink!

Tiger glanced up from her tour guide, in which she had been looking up where they were going the next day. “How come you're so hungry, Chip?”
Chip 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 Tiger. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

Marine: Fiddler Crab
I can fiddle but don't ask me to play the saxophone!

@ Marine: Baby Leatherback Turtle
“Great to see you again, dragolia!” cried Chip. “I don't think we've met since we bumped into each other in Canada this time last year. This is quite a different excursion, isn't it?”
"It is, indeed!" declared dragolia.
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
Chip and Roxas were entranced at reaching this stopping place and eagerly posed for a picture standing on either side of the attractive creature they had just met!
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
“I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Chip. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?”
sammy shielded her eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Chip. How remiss of them!” Seeing Chip’s ears beginning to droop, sammy added, “Don’t worry, you can give your card to reception at the hotel to post.”
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
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Chip. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
paws glanced up from her tour guide, in which she had been looking up where they were going the next day. “How come you're so hungry, Chip?”
Chip 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 paws. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

Marine: Egret on the Shore
Why, there's no "r-egret" when you meet an Egret!

@ Marine: Humboldt Penguin Swimming
“I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Chip. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?”
Boycee shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Chip. How remiss of them!” Seeing Chip’s ears beginning to droop, Boycee added, “Don’t worry, you can give your card to reception at the hotel to post.”
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
“Whatever were those screaming noises you were making earlier, Wally?" exclaimed Chip.
Wally 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: Lionfish
Patrolling the reef, and fanning out my impressive fins, I am the lion of the sea!

Image 23/29

@ Marine: Goldfish Bubbles
Marmite 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?”
Chip snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Marmite!"
Marine: Goldfish Bubbles
Goldfish bobbing at the surface bubbling bubbles at the surface!

@ Marine: Yellow Fish
Chip and Oliver 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
Camo was sprawled flat on the grass after a good lunch. “What do you reckon is the tiniest creature we've met so far, Chip?” he queried sleepily.
Chip pondered. “Perhaps that gerbil?”
"Mmm. Or would it be the hummingbird, maybe?"
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, Chip!” said Andrew, studying the detail in the tour guide. "What would we each called in Latin?"
"I don't know," said Chip. "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
“Did you see those 2023 calendars in the giftshop?” asked Chip. "Each month features one of the critters we've met on our mini-safari! I'm going to buy one to hang up behind my model Fiat 500 from Turin and my ceramic Welsh clog from our British Isles tour."
"Sounds a great idea!" agreed Choose a name. "I think I'll get one for my mum."
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
Chip and Balthazar 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 Chip. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Balthazar. “Being on the right shows my best side.”
Marine: Puffin
Taking off from the water's surface, puffins are sometimes confused with penguins, which, they consider a compliment!

@ Marine: Little White Fish
Chip 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!
Chip has enjoyed meeting "Marine" pets, but it is time to go home now! All Creatures Great and Small is over now, but there will be more events in PnF soon!
