So peaceful...

Lionfish at the Aquarium (BAMZ)

A weird and wonderful looking fish! Although these are invasive fish that originated in the Pacific but have made their way to the Caribbean and are causing a real problem in the islands down there. In Bermuda they are luckily not yet plentiful, but studies are already underway to learn about their impact on our reefs and also to cull them. I'm grateful not to speak from my own experience, but I know that they pack a powerful blow with their venom.

Caribbean Flamingos

A Visit to the Zoo

In fact, this is the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo. It showcases local fish and also animals from other islands. These are the Caribbean Flamingos. In the early 1990's some were bred and placed back in the wild to begin a new breeding colonies.
