Blue-Footed Booby
Not just attractive physical features, the blue feet of this booby can be used to cover its chicks and keep them warm.

Bottlenose Dolphin Peeking Above Water
Their intelligence, friendly disposition, and "smiling" faces make dolphins popular in large aquariums and with divers.

Hammerhead Shark
Hammerheads are aggressive hunters, feeding on smaller fish, octopuses, squid, and crustaceans. They do not actively seek out human prey, but are very defensive and will attack when provoked.
Red-Footed Booby on a Tree Branch
Smallest of the boobies, the red-foot feeds at sea, nests on the ground, and perches in coastal trees.
Green Sea Turtle
Green sea turtles are reptiles whose ancestors evolved on land and took to the sea to live about 150 million years ago. They are one of the few species so ancient that they watched the dinosaurs evolve and become extinct.
Black-Browed Albatross
Wide-winged and long-lived, albatrosses are rarely seen on land, preferring to stay out on the ocean except to mate and raise their young.
