A tale of two Myrtles! 🐢🐢

Did you know both the New England Aquarium and @HelloGreenway have a Myrtle? One is a real green sea turtle, and the other spins on a carousel—but they’re both worth a visit!

The #BuffaloTrunkfish gets its name from the large hump on its back, which looks a bit like a buffalo! 🦬

These trunkfish are still showing off their blue juvenile coloration. As they grow, they’ll develop the mottled brown-and-white adult pattern seen in older trunkfish.

The yellow goatfish has evolved to snack 😋

They use whisker-like barbels to sift through sand, then graze with downward-facing mouths. Like their namesake goats, they’re not picky eaters.

I’m with the drummer 😍

Spotted drums attract mates and communicate using one rockin’ adaptation: they generate sounds by contracting muscles around their swim bladders, beating against it to produce noise—like a drum.
