Corals and Related Marine Life of Raja Ampat - July, 2024
A lengthy (86 minutes and 30 seconds) presentation yet one that is devoid of narration, identification labels, and music. Indeed, at the urging of my wife Paulette, in this video I have departed from my more usual trend to describe, using labels and narration, the biology of the various species presented in a video. Instead, the emphasis here is on the pure aesthetic enjoyment of the various organisms. Maybe you'll also have some fun trying to identify some of the myriad vertebrate and invertebrate reef denizens exhibited! Besides the great variety of Coral species, look for the following: Clown Anemonefish, Crocodilefish, Lionfish, Scorpionfish, Stonefish, Blue-ringed Octopus, Day Octopu...

Best thing for them is like frozen (thawed) mice or lizards. Just lean meat can actually be harmful for them. They need ALL the nutrients in a dead animal! 😂

    19:36 DO NOT HANDLE GILA MONSTERS! I've lived the Sonoran desert for 45 years and spent a lot of time in the desert. I have seen one... just one...Gila Monster. Was sunning itself in the early morning on a rock outcrop in the morning when I was quail hunting. It was at the end of the hunting season so, early spring. I stopped in my tracks about 15 feet away and just looked at it ...in amazement. After about 30 seconds it seems to notice and made eye contact for a brief moment, the slowly made it's way into cracks in the rocks. That, was good enough for me. I went on my way. A beautiful creature that just doesn't need a human pestering it and...I knew all about their bite! I was just happy to see it! So please, let them be! They will leave you alone as well. They want nothing to do with us and will do just that unless you're dumb enough to mess with it. So... Just don't. After all...you are in THEIR home!

    I’ve always wondered if chimpanzees are capable of grooming their own nails? Trimming them when they’re getting too long by biting.

    • @Juscz
      @Juscz 4 месяца назад

      Good question, @morestuff75. Here is what I just found on this topic from Britannica on-line: "Monkeys and apes have been observed using a variety of methods to keep their nails trimmed, though there isn’t one definitive habit that unites the nonhuman primates. That’s because the way they choose to groom their nails is ultimately a matter of personal preference: biting works, as does simply waiting for the nails to grow too long and break off on their own. A monkey or ape’s daily activities probably help keep the nails short-climbing trees, harvesting bamboo shoots, and getting into fights with rivals may all easily result in breaking a nail or two."

And thank you as well for suggesting that I visit the parks in your homeland of southern India that you have suggested. indeed, I have seen many Tigers over the years in India and, while I m always very happy and excited to see these magnificent Big Cats, they are no longer ever the main focus of an Indian wildlife safari for me. Rather, I would really love to see and document via video a Pangolin, Fishing Cat, Clouded Leopard, Rusty Spotted Cat, Hog Badger, and/or some other less-commonly encountered animal species. India is fabulous for seeing wildlife and I feel very honored that you watched my humble attempts to document the wildlife residing in this great subcontinent.

      The video was shot about 2.5 months ago. I talked with some snorkelers who had been to Steps Beach a couple of weeks ago and they reported that the Stony Corals there are still in good shape. My video here shows the Corals to still be doing well (though, with all of the nearby storms and passing hurricanes, the water was often a bit turbid, as can be seen here--- that might have actually protected the corals somewhat). As far as I know, the Stony Corals of Steps Beach, Rincón, Puerto Rico are continuing to hold their own, so to speak, in the wake of this 2023 El Niño event that bleached so many of the coral in other parts of the Caribbean (such as Florida, Bonaire, and Cuba). Let's hope that my assessment (a qualitative one) is correct and that this bodes well for the future survival of these corals.

      @@Juscz really appreciate your documentation videos. I just came back from the Garden of the Queens in Cuba, and we only spotted one very large elk horn coral and the reefs were all covered in algae. I am comparing your footage to the footage you've captured thanks for posting.

      @@chouming3, am glad that this footage is useful to you for coral deterioration comparison reasons (but certainly wish there were no coral deterioration). Let's continue to hope for the best. Perhaps, if it might prove useful to you, check out the videos (much longer than this one) on Cuba's Jardines de la Reina coral reefs that I made made in January of 2023.

    It's agreat video. Never seen the Bob's cats so close hunting.Some people make them domestic but they feel better in wilderness.

      It was surprising to me that we could be just 4 or 5 yards./meters from them and see the bobcats capturing prey.
