2023-06-03 21:31:49 "The order of 'Nudibranchia' counts more than 3000 described species. From super tiny to quite impressive in size, from very colorful to perfectly camouflaged: the sea floor bears the right nudibranch for everyone of you. This particular specimen caught my attention by funnily waving its branchial plume (its gills) in the current! For some reason it reminded me on a bunny "

2023-06-03 16:31:49 Galápagos sea lions are the largest endemic land animal in the archipelago. The males are noticeably larger than females and have distinctive bumps on their foreheads.

Due to the islands’ isolation and strict protection measures, these animals do not fear humans. Most of their predatory threats, like sharks and killer whales, are found in the sea. On land, their only real adversaries are domestic dogs.

Galápagos sea lion numbers are in sharp decline even so. The IUCN lists the Galápagos sea lion as officially endangered. Primary threats to their continued existence include climate change, El Niño events, land and sea pollution, and infectious diseases.

2023-06-02 23:02:00 What would your daily morning routine look like if you would be a fish living in a tropical coral reef?? Right, you would enjoy the all-inclusive service at the local cleaning station. Like this 'moorish idol' does by getting its gills cleaned from a bluestreak cleaner wrasse. Every morning the whole reef community, but also pelagic animals like barracudas or needle fish, hover over the shallow reefs in hope to improve their hygiene. In return the cleaner fishes can feed on the skin parasites they can find. All in all quite a good deal, or what do you think??
