Quite fearful, he camouflages himself on sandy rocks.
It is often seen as a couple, it's indeed a monogamous animal.
Like seahorses, it's the male that incubates the 200 to 400 eggs that the female lays.
The pipefish is carnivorous, it feeds on very small planktonic invertebrates.
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
