Critters of Hawaii

Not all of the animals we saw agreed to pose.

This is the crab quiz picture. The crab is small and almost black.


Here is a what we were calling a dove. They like to 'run' on the ground. I am sure they can fly but we didn't see them doing that. The brown sparrows and the mynah birds flew. I wouldn't be surprised if they nest on the ground.







This a wild rooster strutting his stuff which means he didn't hold his head still for the picture.








The mongoose is an import. I am sure his or her ancestor was not inspected before being turned loose. I honestly thought, I got just the mongoose butt in the picture but he turned and looked over his shoulder at the right time.







These are in an outdoor pool at the aquarium. Very similar but different than other tropical fish we have seen. I will have to admit the others resided in the Caribbean.








And what is an aquarium without a shark tube. There is nothing like have a tiger shark swim over you.










Our last poser is an egret. Just standing by the road near a stoplight.
