Thar be dragons! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Adora Thar be dragons!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adorable tiny dragons. Spearpoint leaf-tailed geckos (Uroplatus ebenaui) are the smallest species in their group only growing up to 4inches. If you can find them (notoriously hard, thanks @michelstrongoff) they will most likely be in the forest only in Nosy Be and the most North-Eastern part of Madagascar.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They also change colour between the day and night to blend in better with their surroundings - see the difference in the photos - I did not mess with the colours, first three daytime, last one nighttime. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The interweb tells me there are 311 identified species of frogs in Madagascar. This includes a small group called the Mantella more commonly known as golden frogs or Malagasy poison frogs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This little dude is a bronze/brown mantella. There is a 20c Euro coin in the second frame for scale (that's 2.2cm!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Australian sea lions only live in Western and Southern Australia. They are the RAREST sea lion species in the world with only 10-12,000 individuals estimated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They have a pretty broad diet including crustaceans, cephalopods, fish and even birds!? They can dive up to 300m apparently, but from my experience like to nap and sunbathe (haul out) a LOT.

Australian sea flap-flaps!

Each manta has a unique spot pattern on their belly so we can identify them. Sometimes they make it easy to snap some pictures by belly rolling in your face!

Thanks to @motherofmantas and @ronniking for an epic day on the water.
