The blurry ones don't count. The ones that are in focus count. The one you posted counts double. Fantastic picture. I don't know nuttin' about cameras. Sounds like a challenge, though.

Here is one more from my Guam aquarium days. This little guy would stay inside his rock most of the time, but would come out to get some shrimp when tapped on his rock. I always called it a baby moray, but not sure if it was. I caught in in a tidal pool at low tide at night.

Mesquite, I looked up baby moray eels on google. Didn't see anything resembling your eel. Doesn't mean your eel isn't a baby moray. Morays come in varieties. Who knows? Thanks for the photo. He's (she's?) a cutie.

I agree, osso. The fairy tern takes my breath away. Such beauty. Also like the name.

Stingray (I love how they fly through the water):

And speaking of flying underwater, here's a Galapagos penguin doing just that:

Sorry I didn't post here for a few days. Computer difficulties. Now resolved (I think). I missed this thread.

Hey Wilso, Thanks for the photo. Is that a meerkat? Sure looks like one.

A Cassowary. Considered the most dangerous bird on earth. People have died.

Went to the lake for a bbq with friends yesterday. Not sure what the correct names for these birds are so I'll leave it.
