I always love spending time with these Spotted sea hares. They are so adorableand look like little rabbits which often are found grazing on algaes and if you look close they have cute little eyes. They have a vestigial shell which is a small shell inside its body and it’s essentially evolved from a outer shell on its exterrior like other sea snails in the ocean. Other molluscs like nudibranchs have Completely lost their shells through evolution. These sea hares are in theor mid way ooint of losing theor shells. These shells are nonlonger served for protection so tgey can no longer retract inyo them. They use an interestin pink ink dye that is secreted for protection. And they use camouflage as an alternate form of protection. They are hermafridytes so contain bith male and female sexual organs. Those ear like are called rhinophores which are chemoreceptors used for locating a mate or food. The little eyes are photoreceptors only capable of detecting light levels.

🌞 🌍 🌒 Tonight we witness the great spectacle of being caught between a rock and a hot place. Beautiful full lunar eclipse. Just another magical moment on our beautiful planet and a reminder how epic it is to be alive. Thank you to our great Mother Earth for all your beauty you gift us. 🌞 🌍 🌒

I was fortunate enough to join @_jacquesnaude on his latest documentary project, spending 31 days at @orcalabbc . British Columbia is one of the wildest, most awe-inspiring places I’ve ever been. Each day we poured everything into this film, and in return we were gifted countless unforgettable moments. We had the privilege of meeting incredible people who’ve dedicated their lives to protecting orcas, and it was an honor to help share their stories through our camera. Thankyou Paul Spong and Helena Symonds for welcoming us into your home and to life on Hanson Island, and for introducing and teaching us about the orcas also absolute pleasure meeting the volunteers who work around the clock to record and track every movement night and day. Your passion was nothing short of inspiring. Your dedication and love for another species is something we all could learn more of. And big thanks to @mcfdz for the beautiful shots of orcas and the Pacific white-sided dolphins. 🐋✨ #freecorky #orca #britishcolumbiacanada

Just got back from a 4-day trip into the Drakensberg Mountains with @earthagencyorg , where I spent time observing and photographing one of Africa’s most striking high-altitude flyers — the bearded vulture. This is the only place in the southern hemisphere where bearded vultures (also known as lammergeiers) are still found, with an estimated fewer than 350 individuals remaining in Southern Africa. They are listed as critically endangered in this region and near threatened around the world. Unlike most vultures, these birds specialize in a rare diet — up to 85% of what they eat is bone. They extract nutrients from the marrow, which is incredibly rich in fat and minerals. To get to it, they carry large bones into the air and drop them onto rocks to crack them open — a behavior known as ossifrage. They don’t hunt live prey. Instead, they’re highly specialized scavengers, and their stomach acid is extremely acidic (around pH 1) — strong enough to digest bone and kill most pathogens from decaying meat. I was also lucky enough to spot Cape vultures, another endangered species, and the beautifully marked jackal buzzard during the trip. #earthagency #vultures #beardedvulture #capevulture #drakensburg #southafrica #poweranimal #spiritanimal #canonsouthafrica #sigmasouthafrica #canoncamera

What an incredible trip to the Canary Islands to wrap up my latest project, Children of Blood and Bone @childrenofbloodandbone . Such an epic way to end this film. The Canary Islands are spectacular—especially when you find the cracks between all the resorts and tourist hubs. It’s a volcanic archipelago, home to Mount Teide, the third tallest volcanic structure in the world: 3,715 meters above sea level and a massive 7,500 meters from the ocean floor. These islands formed millions of years ago, and the first known inhabitants were the Guanches, a group of people from Northwest Africa. Driving through Tenerife, you can still see ancient cave dwellings carved into the cliffs—remnants of their lives here. I wish I had more time to dive deeper into that history. I did get to explore some of the underwater world—the water is crystal clear, and with the sun setting at 9 pm, there’s plenty of time for adventure. A couple of shots here are from Las Palmas on another island we filmed on, where you’ll see the volcano with the sulfur cap. That one erupted in 2021—before that, it was flat land. Pretty wild to stand on a newly born volcanic mountain. What a great experience working with the local crews. They bring such a vibe to the film sets. Thanks to @filmsmoonlighting and @paramountpics for an amazing project. It will be a long time in the edit but look out for it. #omsytemtg7 #omsystemで撮った世界 #canaryislands🌴

What a privilege and an honour to have been involved on this project with @the_rewilding for her latest film Pangolin (Kulu’s journey) on Netflix , the world needs to know about these magical creatures. The ever elusive most highly trafficked mammal on the planet. Thanks so much Pippa for this magical experience and bringing this to the world. 🙏❤️

After meeting this majestic Jaguar on the river bank in the Pantanal (Brazil) @yogahike and I decided to ditch our bicycles and hitchhike back out the Pantanal. We cycled in for 5 days with some fishing rods which we used for catching piranha along the way , we camped in the bushes and heard some interesting sounds at night. Particularly on the 2nd night. That next morning we found a paw print 🐾 the size of a lion a few meters from our tent. There were times where the fear was quite real but fortunately we made it safely.

Here’s a warren of dwarf sea hares siting on their eggs and mating, they are hermaphrodites and this is a chain mating behaviour. You can see the yellow ribbon of eggs. They are just so cute and look like real underwater rabbits. #capetown #kelpforest #underwater

The speckled klipfish (clinus Venustris) I’m still learning to identify our klip fish , they are so epic. Their colour and certain characteristics can vary from different reefs within the same species probably due to the different reef structures , They have no distinct notch on their dorsal fin although the second spine is longer than the rest, they have tentacle above the eyes containing several short branches at the tip. They are endemic to our coastline.

This is the orange eyed nudibranch (cratena capensis) , this little fella has some light sensitive eyes but still uses its rhinophores for smelling out its hydroids that it feeds on.
