Mycteroperca bonaci, also known as the black grouper, is a species of marine fish in the family Serranidae. These fish inhabit the tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean, ranging from Massachusetts in the USA to southern Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. They are mostly found in reefs and are known for their high quality meat, making them a valuable species in commercial and recreational fishing. Black groupers can grow up to 150 centimeters in length and weigh up to 100 kilograms.
Golliwog
-
Fuzzy-haired black dolls with smiley red mouths made popular in childrens stories by Enid Blyton, such as Noddy. The toys were mass produced, and even golliwog biscuits were made! But alas, in recent politically correct years, golliwog numbers reduced, and were even banned in some areas because they were considered racist. Golliwog biscuits were renamed Scalliwags and the toys disappeared from toy store shelves. But the occasional golliwog can still be found in specialised teddy bear and doll shops, as well as hand knitted ones at market stalls.

The Golliwogg was a black character in childrens books in the late 19th century usually depicted as a type of rag doll. It was produced as a childrens toy called the golliwog, and had great popularity in North America, Europe and Australia up to the 1970s. The doll is characterised by black skin, eyes rimmed in white, large red lips, and frizzy hair. In recent years, changing attitudes when it comes to race relations have greatly reduced the popularity and sales of golliwogs as toys. The Golliwogg is seen as a very racist depiction of black people in the same vein as Mammies , black face and Picaninnies. This , along with the fact that Wog is a pejorative term for people of african descent have made the Golliwogg a socially unacceptable toy.
