Parakeets feeding on Welwyn barn wall display Amazonian behaviour Ornithologist Jack Baddams says the video is "really cool".

Imagine your house falls down one day and it's because a load of parakeets have been systematically eating your mortar

While walking along the rocky shore, I found the worldโ€™s most poisonous crab.

Itโ€™s safe as long as you donโ€™t eat it, so I carefully admired its stunning metallic beauty ๐Ÿฆ€โœจ๏ธ

Going all the way back to Gili T - I was amazed at how many Peacock Mantis Shrimp there are there! I know I say this about most critters, but these have to be one of my faves!

Pink hair squat lobster inside the ridges of a barrel sponge

Pink hair squat lobster inside the ridges of a barrel sponge

The Pink Hairy Squat Lobster (Lauriea siagiani) is a small crustacean that lives on barrel sponges in the Indo-Pacific region. It is more closely related to crabs than lobsters & is known for its color & hair-like structures called setae, which help it sense vibrations & filter food.

Ridley is a young male manta. Last weekend, he was hooked by a fisherman after divers watched them cast lines in his path.

An aerial survey yesterday found 3 of 4 mantas off South FL dragging fishing line.

Weโ€™re fighting for a no-take protected area for Ridley and the other mantas.

If there's anything cooler than a school of hammerhead sharks I'm not sure what it would be.
