Morning walk about at the Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo: Lemurs are primates found only on the African island of Madagascar and some tiny neighboring islands. Because of its geographic isolation, Madagascar is home to many amazing animals found nowhere else on the Earth.
Good morning: The Green Moray and Hog Fish are 2 out of 200 species of fish and delicate marine invertebrates that are showcased at the Bermua Aquarium Museum and Zoo.
Watching: Cockatiel parrots regularly live for 12 to 20 years and some have been reported to live for up to 30 years. Cockatiel parrots are members of the Cockatoo family
Breakfast: Growing to a carapace length of up to 16 inches and weighing up to 35 pounds, the Radiated Tortoise is considered to be one of the world's most beautiful tortoises.
Time for a nap (right): Compared to humans, giant tortoises might deserve to be called 'lazy', spending an average of 16 hours a day resting. Their activity level is driven by ambient temperature and food availability.
