#Repost from the Totally Awesome Conservationist at...@mantatrust @download.ins --- Incredible manta ray courtship behaviour captured by @albertsaiztezanos during a @mantaexpeditions trip in the Maldives this month. ⠀ ⠀ Here, a large female at the front is being pursued by smaller males behind, in the hopes that they will be the lucky suitor. After courtship trains where male mantas pursue females for hours around the reef in sometimes fast-paced chains, the female will slow down and choose a suitable male. When the female chooses a suitable partner, she will allow him to swim on top (pre-copulation positioning) before copulation starts.⠀ ⠀ There seem to be a few more males hanging around hoping they are still in with a chance here though so copulation may not have been imminent.⠀ ⠀ Music by @bensound⠀ ⠀ #ReefManta #MantaRay #Manta #MatingMantas #Maldives #ScubaDive #AnimalSex #MarineBiology #MantaTrust (at Maldives) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWl3ulzPvZt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another round of paintings of animals that I post on my Instagram. The sparrow and the dart frogs may be my favorites out of all of them so far.

#Repost @wakeupand.dive with @get_repost ・・・ In love with this big Manta mumma! This Manta is a new one to our database at @marinemegafauna that I got and named last January. When I saw her last she was pregnant and now it looks like recently she gave birth! Sadly she has a truncated cephalic lobe but it looks like she is doing super well without it and it’s healed well. She must be ready to mate again as the whole dive she was being followed by 3 very attentive males... 💕———L O V E • T H E • O C E A N——— #nature #lembongan #sealife #mermaid #divebali #underwaterphotography #indonesia #underwaterphotos #whale #dive #ocean #uwpics #coralreef #bali #girlsthatscuba #marinebiology #paditv @paditv #nudibranch #reeffish #sealife #photographer #naturephotographer #macro @olympus_au #scubadive #scubadiving #mantaray #manta #ray #mantapoint #reefmanta https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqvn-H9lF6f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p27tm9gpp7by
