there is no SEALION ... its SEA LION ....
there IS a valid anagram ... ANISOLE

"its" should be "it's" in this context. ;)

Anisole is also known as methoxybenzene and methylphenyl ether.

Building somewhat on others..

1) Bottlenose Dolphin
2) Humpback Whale
3) Sea Lions

I'm guessing the theme is pictures Bob has taken while on a boat off the Big Island of Hawaii.

My first guess for Bonus was Komodo dragon. But given that Bob is in Hawaii, I'm leaning toward cane snake or a rice snake (no I don't know my snakes and I don't think there really are snakes in Hawaii...).

Maybe Cliff's lawyers are the right route...

7 has the first three correct and 8 has the correct bonus answer.

T. Rex would have been acceptable too.

Are dinosaurs reptiles? I thought they were in their own class and not repilia. Can I get a taxonomy geek alert?

11 I credit my many, many visits to the Garden Isle for knowing what wildlife Bob was likely to come across.

I blame my whiffing on the bonus by interpreting "this place" to mean "Kauai" instead of "the part of Kauai used in Jurassic Park." And so I tip my hat to nickb.
