Jeni,
Can you send me the details for Bonaire?

I was there in 1997 - it was wonderful!

Well, we're going sometime in April--no date set. Anytime better for you? We're staying in condos at Sand Dollar.

Theres a huge Diodon like that at the Toledo Zoo in Ohio. I had thought it was holocanthus but it looks spotty like those, so I guess it was a hystrix. But he was a beast. At least 3ft, maybe even 3.5ft.

Do we have enough info to set up a hystrix pufferpedia page? We should do...?

Can anyone post the relevant profile information here? We already have the pics...

The one at the Toledo Zoo is a hystrix as well.
