Turtles

The sea turtles are being endangered. I saw some beautiful turtles at Lady Elliot Island. This is a logger head and then a hawkesbill turtle. Here is a little tip: the girl has a short tail and the boy has a very long spikey tail. Can you see if these turtles are boy or girl?

Hanging out with Sea Creatures

We are just back from Lady Elliot Island. It was more than fun!

I learned very much about the sea creatures from my friends called Emma and Maggie. They were working there. Emma was Swedish! Maggie was very nice to me. 

Here you can see me diving in and pointing to a Blue Lica Sea star.The colour of the Blue Lica Sea star is a warning that means: if you try to eat me you will be poisoned! But luckily the poison is only inside the sea star, so we can touch the sea star. The stripey black and white fish you saw are called Moon Wrasse.They are called Moon Wrasse because they sometimes glow.
