Instagram post 2317060439315738044_1607109448 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #madagascar #mada #madagascartravel #madagascarwildlife #gecko #geckos #geckolove #geckosofinstagram #geckomadagascar #reptiles #reptile #reptileoftheday #reptiles_of_instagram #reptileaddict #junglephotography #wild #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nosybe #macrophotographylove #lizardphotography #lumix #olympusphotography #microfourthirdsphotography #gx1 #naturephotographers @my_madagascar @madagascarlandscape

Instagram post 2316260070920164277_1607109448 As if echidna's couldn't get anymore adorable, I just found out their babies are called 'puggles' when they hatch. Yes, they hatch, echidna's along with platypus are part of the monotreme order - the only egg laying mammals in the word. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Australia, you have the best and weirdest animals.

Instagram post 2269222355970939921_1607109448 Happy world frog day! I shall jump on the bandwagon... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 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!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #madagascar #mada #madagascartravel #madagascarwildlife #junglephotography #wild #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nosybe #macrophotographylove #lumix #olympusphotography #microfourthirdsphotography #gx1 #naturephotographers #poisonfrog #goldenfrog #froglove #frogfriday #frogphotography #froglife #froggo #internationalfrogday #amphibiansofig #amphibianfoundation
Instagram post 2202202206793750926_1607109448 Latte sea puppy coming in for a full on nose boop! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 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. #australia #westernaustralia #sealion #sealions #sealionpup #australiansealion #noseboop #seapuppy #olympusem1 #nauticam #pinniped #pinnipedsofinstagram #wildlifeig #marinephotography #underwaterphotography @turquoisesafaris

Instagram post 2110420325698539367_1607109448 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mantaray #mantarays #rays #coralbay #seaflapflap #megafauna #research #marineresearch #australia @marinemegafauna #westernaustralia #flaptastic #marinebiology #marinescience #marineconservation #endangeredspecies #endangeredanimals #fieldwork #conservation #raysneedlovetoo #whalesharks #sharkscience #wildlifeconservation #snorkelling #seeingspots

Instagram post 2090179995090963372_1607109448 Where's the shrimp? . . . There she iiiiiiiiis! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is a whip coral shrimp. The Google tells me it's an Anker's Whip Coral Shrimp (Pontonides ankeri), but comment if you know for sure! The Google also tells me that they rarely leave their whip coral home, so once you've found them you're very likely to find them again in the same place. Great thing for an underwater photographer! They feed on parasites, algae and plankton all from their home - not bad at all my little friend..... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coralshrimp #divingbali #crustaceans #muckdiving #muckdivingtulumben #tulumbenbali @scubaseraya_resort #macrounderwater #macrounderwaterphotography #shrimpphotography #crustaceanphotography #nauticammacro @nauticamhousings @nauticam.images #whipcoral #baliunderwater #baliunderwaterphotogaphy #crustaceansofinstagram
