Fashionable print: Closeup of a honeycomb moray eel, one of my favourite subjects in the reefs. Unlike other eels, morays have two sets of sharp teeth. The first one is located in the jaw and other in the throat.

Drifting a-parrot.
.
Imagine a paradise white sand beach where you love laying around under the sun. It came from this guy’s butt! Parrotfish munch pieces of coral -eating algae on them in the process- and poop fine sand. Its fused teeth shaped like a beak -hence its name- allow it to scrape off pieces of coral and other food, and inner pharyngeal teeth that crush the food once it’s in its mouth. Its teeth are made of fluorapatite, among the hardest biominerals in the world. This makes the parrotfish’s teeth harder than copper, gold and silver.

Big tuna.
.
The dogtooth tuna, also known as white tuna, can reach a length in excess of 2 metres (almost 100 in) and a weight of 130 kg. That’s a lot of sashimi.

Welcome to the dark side.

This stingray gliding through the water was just like a spaceship. It reminded me of the Devastator.

Shedding light on corals.
.
Russell Islands, Solomon Islands.
.
Here’s 5 fun facts:
1. Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean but are home to almost 25% of all known marine species.
2. Corals are in fact animals, not plants.
3. Coral reefs are the largest biological structures on earth.
4. Coral reefs are naturally colourful because of algae, living inside the corals, providing them with food.
5. The three main types of coral reefs are fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and coral atolls.

Staghorn.
.
Staghorn coral in Munda, Solomon Islands. Sadly, this one shows beginnings of coral bleaching. Bleaching occurs when coral polyps expel algae that live inside their tissues. These algae are essential to the coral and reef's health as they provide up to 90% of the coral's energy. Bleaching starts from the tips, as seen here, and spreads. Bleached corals continue to live for a bit but begin to starve before, eventually, dying. And when they do, their entire reef ecosystem will end-up dying. Above-average sea water temperatures caused by global warming is the leading cause of coral bleaching. There's several ways you can help; it boils down to choosing environmentally sustainable lifestyle and products, so that we can protect what we still have.

Sea lions.
.
While Kangaroo Island in South Australia will take a long time to recover from the bushfire crisis, I would like to remember the incredible wildlife and natural environment it once displayed. These sea lions were shot a couple of years ago. Please help victims by considering supporting a local charity. More details in my other recent posts.

Fur seals.
.
While Kangaroo Island in South Australia is fighting the bushfire crisis, I would like to remember the incredible wildlife and natural environment it once displayed. These fur seals were shot a couple of years ago. Please help victims by considering supporting any of the charities below:
.
@adelaidekoalarescue. They are tending to South Australia’s burn victims and attempting to find them somewhere to live - www.akr.org.au.
.
@redcrossau runs evacuation and relief centres for people seeking refuge from a fire-impacted area: https://www.redcross.org.au/.
.
@wildlifevictoria bushfire appeal is distributing donations to wildlife shelters and carers to help rebuild enclosures and equipment that has been lost in the fires, so that they can continue their life-saving work and cope with the enormous number of animals that will need care in the coming months. www.wildlifevictoria.org.au.
.
@nswrfs has a page for direct donations too with Westpac bank – find it through https://linktr.ee/nswrfs.

Save a koala.
.
Even at this stage, any little could help so please consider supporting some of Australia’s charities helping victims of the bushfire crisis. This little koala joey shot a couple of years ago in its mommy’s arms in Kangaroo Island may not have survived and if it did, it would have lost much of its habitat so today I donated to @adelaidekoalarescue. They are tending to South Australia’s burn victims and attempting to find them somewhere to live - www.akr.org.au.
.
Some Parts of Victoria received a bit of rain last night but the rain did not reach fires in southern NSW, and is not enough to stop them burning. The human, environmental and wildlife crisis continues to hit Australia at an immense scale. Even at this stage, any help would be useful. Here’s some other charities, which you could consider supporting:.

Family: always has your back.
.
Here’s my heartfelt wishes for a healthy, happy, fulfilling, creative, considerate and adventurous 2020 to all you fam! Toque Macaques are endemic to Sri Lanka. Similarly to other primates, these guys live by strict social structures in their interactions and for them too, family comes first.
