Thanks for keeping me company. You seem so down-to-earth, like someone we would know IRL. Your blog has been a great read. I found it on Cake Wrecks and have read all the back posts to here.

Puffers should never be removed from the water because of that. To puffer keepers, the image of an inflated puffer is horrifying and cruel. :( That particular puffer is a T.lineatus and yes, it has teeth and can snap a finger in half when its full size (18 inches or so). <BR/><BR/>Love the rest though, thanks for sharing!Female Dwarf Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977211207277043708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-64413514267562874952008-10-08T07:39:00.000-07:002008-10-08T07:39:00.000-07:00OMG, I love the otter pictures.

My fave are the dolphins and especaily the beluga whales... the aquarium right now has a contest to name the new baby beluga.. and they also have a live cam where you can watch both the otters and the beluga whales. you can go to the aquariums website to check them out on the live web cam they have.. http://www.vanaqua.org/home/kfcworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265927385497883775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-51426311428963040032008-10-06T15:24:00.000-07:002008-10-06T15:24:00.000-07:00Love your new header..& that puffer fish looks...Love your new header..& that puffer fish looks cool!
