Foggy Day Visit to the Estuarium

I went to visit Andrea today at the Dauphin Island campground, but it was so foggy! We decided to go over to the Estuarium and look around, hoping the fog would lift. 

The Estuarium has fish and other critters that represent the various habitats along the coastal areas. 

There were all kinds of turtles, fish, amphibians, reptiles, skeletons, fossils, etc. Loads of information about the area from the water to dunes, bogs and ponds.

Traffic jam!

Slender fish...

Basking turtles and snakes...didn't take their photos.

Odd cartoon like fish...

Yummy fish like snapper, trigger fish and others..

Scary Moray eels...

Hiding lobsters...

Evasive and deadly... but fascinating Lion Fish..

Anatomy specimens..

Outside on the board walk, it was still foggy....making the oil rig appear to be floating in the air.

The Mossasaur..

My, what big teeth you have!

No, this little allligator wasn't green, but the lighting in it's tank gave it a pink and green cast!

Outside is a ray tank where you can touch them as they fly through the water.

Through the side viewing area..

Hello!

Reddish seahorses feed among the grasses.

If you haven't visited, it's a fun outing! Dauphin Island, AL.
