Tool use by New World Halichoeres wrasses https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00338-025-02633-w

#Cat & Fish

This is a rough-textured c1970 Terracotta sculpture by Ramkinkar Baij (of #India) of a cat with wide, expressive eyes, holding a fish in its mouth. The raw, hand-modeled finish gives it a primal and earthy aesthetic, emphasizing a sense of instinct and survival

Blennies are one of my favorite macro subjects. There are so many different species and it is really fun looking for their tiny heads peeking out of rocks and corals. This one is a spinyhead blenny spotted in Cuba. I used a snoot to spotlight the tiny blenny while keeping a dark background and foreground.

"Previous research has shown that some #fish shadow #sharks to remove parasites and hide from predators. However, they have never before been seen hiding behind sharks to ambush their prey."
