Isn't the bright yellow patch on the pectoral (shoulder) fin interesting on the Gray Angelfish? Wonder what you'll see when you go to station #3?

Did You Know?

An iguana finds its way on to the patio at maho bay campground much to the delay of kids.

There are three species of lizards found on St. John.  The iguana, which is not a true lizard, are vegetarians and are often found in trees.  When threatened, they escape by dropping to the ground or into water.  They can fall 40-50 feet to a hard surface without injuring themselves.
