Did you know? (post by Bear)

Did you  know that out of the twenty+ types of paranhas, only five are carnivores?  The rest are vegetarians!The ones that are carnivores are scavengers mostly. They are not known to kill people.

We went to an aquarium in New Zealand. They gave a little presentation about all the fish in their tanks while they were feeding them. This is a Red Bellied Paranha. It is one of the vegetarians. All paranahs live in the rivers of South America. A paranah is one of the fish we did NOT see on our own.

Maybe 90% of the fish and other animals we've seen while snorkeling or diving in the ocean this year. 

We also did not see penguins on our own yet. (But we hope to because there are some in New Zealand.)
