Maui Ocean Center

This weekend has been very exciting! Yesterday I went to see the old lava flows, and today I went to the Maui Ocean Center! I was so excited and blessed to go with a future zoologist, and a shark enthusiast! Both of whom were from Michigan! Now, I know the future zoologist told me all of the names to these fish, but I don't remember them, so I do not attest to the accuracy of this post. Let's just say when I don't know the names of the fish, I'm gonna make them up (Adam and Eve style :)

Yellow Fish



Bird Fish


Norbert Fish (doesn't he look like a Norbert???)



Scientific Name: Fishus Longus


This is a worm with featherlike lungs


Angry Robert Fish


Indian Rug Flounder


Ugly Fish


He yawned right when I walked up! He was so CUTE!


Hammer Head Shark

Diver feeding a sting ray


Happy Sting Ray


Tiger Shark


Unhappy Hammer Head Shark


If you see this fin in the water...swim fast!!!
