This is the smallest Whitemouth Moray Eel I’ve seen here. It was in a hole in the rock high up in the water so I could get quite close. I’ve taken a lot of eel photos over the years and I thought, even as I took these photos, it would be ironic if this little eel shot out and was the first one to bite me. Happily, it remained where it was, next to a Red Pencil Urchin, which gives a sense of scale.
With their huge heads and big eyes, Giant Porcupinefish are unmistakable, but they always have a friendly look to them.
This anole ran up a metal sign post to escape me. Sadly, the only escape was to come back down, which it did after I finished taking photos.
The mango tree is dropping fruit, which means that the numerous wild pigs around here are stopping by on a regular basis to scarf them up. This is one of them, or is it? A tag in the ear usually indicates a domesticated animal, but this one was roaming with the other wild pigs. An escapee perhaps? Part of a scientific study?
But them I looked at the tag again, 004. Surely, this means the pig is a British secret agent, probably sent to check up on me and make sure I’m drinking enough tea and not bad-mouthing the king. Hopefully, he’s not yet licensed to kill, just to eat mangoes.
