Chasing that manta sweetheart
Typical courting bevahiour for mantas, the male will chase the female till either one gives up. Meanwhile the female tries to get away however possible, even using me as a shield in hopes to fend off the pesky male

An eerie feeling washed over me as I waded into the water early in the morning. It was raining and the underwater world looked like a foggy haunted forest. I turn around am surprised by this large female lemon shark as she scavenged the shallows of the island for food.

Small islands along the coast of south western Australia are the perfect, and only habitat of Australian sea lions. These guys are the most endangered sea lion species in the world and their numbers won’t be rising anytime soon. Research is insufficient, human pollution of their habitat and the way they reproduce, make it hard for this species to recover from the extensive history of being hunted by humans.

The Epaulette shark or as I like to call it, the walking shark is a very special species not only because of its weird color pattern🎨 but mostly because unlike other shark species, these guys don’t swim, but they walk over the ocean floor. Something you can see very well in the last clip!✌🏻 #underwaterphotography #wildlifephotography
