Clung to the beak of a Whimbrel that was foraging in the seaweed, the bird could not dislodge it, after a couple of minutes the isopod dropped off. The Whimbrel continued to feed with the isopod on board.

bradmoonDescription
Many babies schooling around presumed parent in shaded, shallow (1/2 to 1 ft deep) backwater swamp. Based on a quick dot-count, I estimate that there were as many as 2000-3000 baby bowfins in the school.

primaluxDescription
I've been wanting to see this turtle for so long and I finally got to today. Obviously it's something someone released here at some point (supposedly 15-20 years ago, but it's all hearsay) but still super rad.
