Marvelous 🐋🐳🐋🐋🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐋 whales
I've got a couple of dead ones that I found washed up on a beach ⛱️ They preserve beautifully 😍 🤩 👌
I've seen a dead one on the beach too, the colours were still so vivid.
Es una bella criatura del océano.
Hoping to see one some day. Can you provide any insights on the name? Why "zebra" shark when they have leopard type spots? Is this just another example of bad nomenclature inherited from the Royal Navy?
😂 zebra sharks because when they are born they have zebra type stripes, the spotting happens as they mature. Everyone in Australia calls these Leopard Sharks, including myself, but I am adding these videos as I am building a fish ID app. So using the world wide common name that is the Zebra Shark 😁
@Strangefish-so6zp thanks for the info! Love the channel- beautiful, informative brief videos.
@ thanks for watching 😁🪼🦐🦞🦀🦑🐙🐳🐋🦈🦭
Some of them have nice teeth. ❤
I really enjoyed seeing these around Sydney in 2019, they seemed to be fairly plentiful, and always beautiful.
❤
Amazing.
Nice.
Beautiful.
Thank you
Gotta love eels. I have lots of videos of them. They are on my short list of target species to look for when diving.
Yep big eel fan here 🤩 some of them have a real personality when you visit them a few times
Beautiful.
I live in a coastal town within an hour of two out of Sydney. We have a No Fishing Zone that houses a family of grey nurse sharks. The honest truth is that most of the fishermen, spearfishermen and foragers who break the rules are city travellers (particularly Asians), who deliberately break the rules and undoubtedly leave their rubbish behind. We need to honestly address this... I'm not sure if they think they can use the race card against potential punishment? But this is the obvious truth around different parts of Australia.
Simply awesome!!! Thank you 😅 this made part of my bus ride home a lot more enjoyable 😀
Episode 2 is on The Great White Shark 🦈 stay tuned 📺 😜
@Strangefish-so6zp let's go!!! Another bus ride that I'll actually enjoy xD
Awesome! Thank you =D
Get ready for the fish 🐠 😂
