Puffins
Aurora the octopus - and a jellyfish
(They told us that the female octopus lays eggs
only once in her life, then stays by them until they hatch to protect them...
which means she does not take time to eat and henceforth dies shortly after
they 'hatch'. Aurora had been at her 'post' since June 11, 2004! The
dots you see at the botom of the picture are hatched babies.)
