Day 3 was a very tedious day for both the lizard and fish groups. We were split apart in the morning to do our projects. This is the day when we put our hypothesis to the test. The fish group headed out to sea, while the lizard group went to the Botanical Gardens. The water was much calmer today, yet it was colder. Both divers and snorkelers saw an abundance of different species today, including an Eagle Ray, Caribbean Reef Shark, Nurse Shark, Barracuda, Moray Eel, Goliath grouper, and much much more. The lizard group saw different species of butterflies, Iguanas, Woodpecker, Egret, Roosters, and the 24 Anoles they caught in just 2 hours. They spent their entire day in the field. Both groups return to the field station to continue their projects and some started their research for their Natural History Presentations. From here, we broke for dinner, made by our professors. They even went to the extent of getting desert as well. After the delicious meal we returned to the lab. Some people gave their presentations tonight. Afterwards everyone worked late into the night on their projects.
