YUCK! Sometimes your food is so bad you have to spit it out ... and slap it! Juvenile green sea turtles mainly eat worms, small crustaceans, aquatic insects, seagrass and algae. When they become adults, however, they're strictly herbivores. 🎥 Tanya Ryan #ausgeo #seeaustralia #turtle #seaturtle #underwater #funnyanimals

·2024-9-30When whales die and sink, their carcasses – known as whale falls – provide a bounty of nutrients for deepwater creatures. Different stages in a whale carcass' decomposition support a succession of marine biological communities. Scavengers, like the shark circling in this video, consume the soft tissue in a matter of months, while organic fragments enrich nearby sediments for over a year. 🎥 IG @marynadb #whale #whales #shark #sharks #fish #ocean #beach #underwater #underwaterphotography #oceanlife #beachlife #sealife #marinelife

·10h ago 📸 Through Your Lens "This western blue-tongue showcased defensive behaviour as I was trying to assist him off the track!" says Josh of his encounter. Blue-tongued lizards will display their tongue when threatened to induce a startle response in a predator, hoping to overload its senses and cause it to pause, slow or stop its attack. You'd think this little guy would be more appreciative of the helping hand off the dangerous path, though! 🎥 Josh Hatton #ausgeo #seeaustralia #lizard #reptile #bluetongue #aussiewildlife
