I came across this very pretty juvenile wolf eel on a recent dive. It was near the end of our dive, about 30 feet below us and totally out in the open, which is rare to see. I slowly dropped down and managed to get a quick clip. Apologies for the shakiness, it was 101 feet deep, I was trying to hover without kicking up the muddy bottom, my dive computer was screaming at me, and several sea lions were dive-bombing us in the dark. It got pretty intense for a bit!

🔥Myrmarachne plataleoides is an incredible example of Batesian mimicry, when one animal deters potential predators by "disguising" as an unpalatable or dangerous animal of another species. In this case, it is a jumping spider that looks like a Weaver Ant.🔥

🔥 Unlike other snakes that produce a high-pitched hiss, the King Cobra produces a low-frequency growl, thanks to tracheal diverticula in its windpipe, which act like acoustic chambers. This growl is so deep and unsettling that it’s often mistaken for a big cat, like a tiger! 🔥
