Our Belize expedition has been temporally postponed. After another exciting day in Hawaii, we just received a report of an outstanding discovery on Christmas Island. And, considering that we are half way there, thought we would make the puddle jump across the Pacific Ocean.
On Christmas Island, located in the middle of nowhere and known for it's world-class bonefishing, reports are surfacing of a red lipped mountain lion, which is incredibly amazing considering the landscape and lack of significant foliage. This is clearly a transplanted crossbreed as there have not been a reported sighting of a mountain lion, red owl, and/or lipped sea cucumber on Christmas Island since the 1960's.
We have expedited our travel arrangements and will be leaving on Wednesday. Hopefully, we will have encountered and extinguished the purple spotted hairless platypus reported in Hawaii by then, so that we can focus on eradicating the red lipped mountain lion of Christmas Island.
Hawaii Update: In addition to the half plaster cast of track, four unconfirmed sightings, and reports of a three headed finless lionfish, we've discovered a 1/4-inch piece of an abalone shell that appears to have been devoured by a purple spotted hairless platypus. On the other hand, it may have been a green sea turtle, so we have sent it in for geobiological forensics testing.
