Montgomery T. Science discovery It’s believed aquarium owners first dumped lionfish off the coast of Florida in the mid-1980s. Since then, the fish have spawned at a fast rate. Lionfish are now eating away at the population of reef fish from North Carolina across the Caribbean. Curaçao has also seen its fair share of the problem. Curaçao is fighting back, training divers to hunt the predatory creature. These divers are also making some extra cash because this fish has become a trend in various restaurants on the island. It’s safe to say that you have to try it.

 * Lemurs** are a clade of strepsirrhine primates endemic to the island of Madagascar. The word lemur copied the word //lemurs// from Roman mythology and was first used to describe a slender loris due to its nightime habits and slow pace, but was later applied to the primates on Madagascar. Although lemurs often are confused with ancestral primates, the insect primates did not evolve from them; instead, lemurs merely share morphological and behavioral traits with basal primates.
