What is an island? Scientifically, the term encompasses many kinds of environments. Biologically speaking, an island can represent any community of animals that has developed in isolation.

The Aquarium celebrates biological castaways of all sorts with Island Life. As they explore this space, visitors expand their understanding of islands as they encounter a vast array of animals from all over the world.

During this island-hopping journey, guests are led by a colorful guide, Leon the Chameleon. This green-skinned guru of island knowledge appears on graphics and interactive elements, sponsored by Unum, to point out fun facts, encourage interactive learning and pose questions that add new dimension to these fascinating ecosystems.
