I think this is my all time favorite photo that I have taken. This is a hairy frogfish in the waters of Lembeh, Indonesia, taken with a snoot at night. I was lucky to find this beautiful animal and go back on a night dive to get this shot. He/she was sitting at a depth of 70 feet, with a slight current that helped lift the hairs the way they are shown.⁣

They’re the largest of rays, measuring up to 7m long! Known for their impressive flattened blade studded with sharp pointy 'teeth'.

In celebration of this jawsome day, let’s give a shout out to the sawfish family as it’s Sawfish day!

With powerful sweeping motions, they use their rostrum like a club to stun nearby prey. These all-mighty creatures have been seen using their saw to pin down their prey before eating it.

Super sensitive to electrical currents, they can detect the tiniest of muscle contractions given off by prey. Allowing them to hunt in the darkest of waters of the ocean.

Sadly, over the past century populations of all 5 species have drastically declined. All are now listed as Endangered or Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

We’re currently carrying out a ‘See A Saw’ project, which is looking to discover more about these unique rays and where they live. Information collected will be available to researchers worldwide, helping to improve conservation efforts. Visit our website to find out more about this project. ... See MoreSee Less
