Feathers Ocellated

A food lover's delight, an ecstasy for the taste buds; there's no denying the fact that the turkey makes for a great dinner - one that all food lovers would look forward too. Every year on Thanksgiving this bird sends the taste buds of 95% of Americans into raptures. Even as we savor the turkey there are interesting facts about this about this bird that we often don't care to take note of.

Let's take a look - 1) Research says that the turkey is over 10 million years old and has its origins in North and Central America. However, this ruling bird of Thanksgiving, the turkey, was domesticated in Mexico, where it was a bird of sacrifice. 2) There are two species of turkey - The North American Wild Turkey and The Central American Ocellated Turkey. 3) Farm-raised turkey cannot fly. Only wild turkeys have the ability to fly for short distances and are the fastest runners on ground among all birds. 4) They're found in all US states except Alaska. Alaska it's too cold for the turkeys. 5) American Indians were very fond of hunting wild turkeys because of its tasty flesh and for its feathers. The feathers of a turkey were used in arrows and to decorate their ceremonial attire. 6) Turkeys were once used to remove green worms from tobacco plants. 7) Benjamin Franklin had proposed in 1776 that the turkey be made the official symbol of the nation. However ultimately the bald eagle was chosen. Franklin later noted in a letter to his daughter "the turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America." The Thanksgiving turkey is also well-known for its eggs, which are about double the size of the eggs of chicken. 9) A turkey egg takes approximately 28-30 days to hatch. 10) A baby turkey is called a 'poult' and is tanned brown in color. 11) A male turkey is called a Tom while a female turkey is called a Hen. Only Toms can gobble. Hens communicate with clicking noises or pseudogobbles. 12) A hen can lay upto 100 eggs. 13) A full-grown turkey has about 3500 feathers approximately. 14) The long, loose piece of skin hanging from a turkey's neck is known as 'wattle'. 15) A group of turkey is known as a flock. 16) Turkeys have a great sight, great hearing, great sense of taste, but a very poor sense of smell. 17) The Guiness Book of World Records holds that the largest weight recorded for a turkey (after having been dressed and cooked) is 86 pounds. This turkey-fic record was made on December 12, 1989. 18) The turkey industry is a very popular industry in the US, grossing over $1 billion each year. 19) An average American consumes about 15 pounds of turkey every year. On the day of Thanksgiving, Americans treat themselves to about 675 million pounds of turkey. 20) California consumes more turkey than any other US state.

21) In the historical 1969 voyage to the moon, the food packets of US astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin had roasted turkey and all other trimmings.

Synchiropus ocellatus Ocellated Dragonet - Small $12.99 Ocellated Dragonets ( Synchiropus ocellatus ) are popularly known as Scooter Blennies. They have a brown or reddish-brown body with mottled white and tan blotches and small bright blue spots on the head. Males have an elongated dorsal fin. Dragonets are bottom-dwelling fish with colorations that often resemble the substrate they are found around. They have flattened bodies with pointed faces designed for picking food like small crustaceans, copepods, amphipods and similar prey out of rockwork. They often have difficulty adapting to prepared food in the aquarium and should only be kept int well established tanks with lots of live rock and a healthy, populated sandbed to feed on. Dragonets are generally peaceful, docile fish. They move in short "scooting" motions and can be terrorized by more aggressive or territorial tankmates. They are ideal for reef aquariums as they will not bother corals or larger inverts.

Gymnothorax saxicola Ocellated Moray Eel $49.99 The Ocellated Moray Eel ( Gymnothorax saxicola ) is also known as the Black-edged Moray Eel. It has a golden brown coloration with yellowish spots and black semicircular trim along its dorsal side. This eel is found mostly in seagrass beds and is not found in coral reefs like many other species. It is native to the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Moray Eels commonly found in the aquarium trade are predators. They usually cannot be kept in groups and only one eel should be kept in most aquariums. Their natural diet includes smaller fish and invertebrates like crabs and shrimp; tankmates should be chosen carefully since an eel may prey on smaller tankmates. In the aquarium, eels can be fed a varied diet of fresh and frozen meaty foods like shrimp, crabs, scallops, fish flesh and similar items. It is not unusual for an eel to go on a "hunger strike" and not feed for several weeks at a time, especially after a stressful event like being moved to a new home. It is best to continue to attempt to feed the eel until it accepts the food; live feeders or appetite stimulants can be used to encourage feeding. Most eels, especially larger individuals, only need to be feed every two to three days. Eels will usually establish a "home base" and spend much of their time peering out of the rockwork. Their mouth is often open, more as a way of "tasting" the water and environment around it rather than as a sign of aggressive since their eyesight is poor but sense of smell is keen. Most eels will not bother corals and stationary inverts although the large size of most and their housing in the rockwork can topple some colonies. Aggression can vary from passive, docile species to very aggressive predators and sizes can range from around a foot to up to six feet in some species often sold for home aquariums. Eels will get more aggressive around feeding time or when they smell food in the water. While eels are not venomous, their mouths are full of bacteria and bites can get easily infected; avoid hand-feeding eels and be aware of the eel's location and behavior at all times . The teeth of most eels are curved and quickly pulling away once bit can cause the bite to be worsened; most eels bite out of defense and curiosity and will usually let go quickly. The tank should be covered tightly at all times since eels are prone to escaping from aquariums, especially if threatened. Weights or tank lid locks can be necessary for larger eels that might be able to knock the lid open. Morays are nocturnal and are most active at night.
