Key Biscayne, Florida, USA - 21st March 2008

By: tarepanda

I arrived in Miami two days ago and I am going places already! 

We go to the Easter Egghunt event at Miami Seaquarium.  Tarepanda is volunteering at the booth for Marine Animal Rescue Society, who rescue dolphins, whales, manatees, sea turtles and the like when they are injured or sick.

Here is the booth.  We meet Manny the manatee and help him give out brochure and information to visitors.

This is Mandy, she is really great at teaching children about saving marine animals.

We see a shark posing as a Easter Bunny!!  We hurry to call the police to have him arrested.  I think he is trying to lure the kids near him and then eat them!

We get to meet a lot of animals: sea lions, sea turtles, crocodiles, dolphins and flamingos.

We also say hi to the manatees at the seaquarium.  They are all rescues of MARS.  They are huge herbivorous mammals who weigh about 1,000 lbs.  They are an endangered species; because they are slow moving and big, they easily get killed or injured by fast moving motor boats.  Therefore MARS has an education booth to tell people how to save the manatees.
