Happy Monkey
Such a happy looking Sulawesi crested macaque. He smiled and posed for me. They are found on Indonesian island of Sulawesi (Celebes) and other smaller neighboring islands, and they are locally known as yaki or wolai. They spend more than half the day on the ground and forage for food.
Goofy Safety Stop
Hey, do you need air? I still have a lot! Our dive guide got playful during a safety stop and I got a very cool picture. :)
Quick! Pose for a pic!
I think this diver found his long lost twin underwater! They look cute, but most pufferfish contain neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin in their internal organs.
Hi, Nice Neighborhood!
A diver waving hello to a couple of longfin spadefish (Platax teira) at Raja Ampat. They are also known as teira batfish and longfin batfish. They can be found singly or in large schools in the Indo-Pacific region.
Sticky Feathers
Although it may look like a colorful fern, feather star (crinoid) is a marine animal. They are very pretty, but you would want to keep your distance unless you want to have one hitching a ride on you. The feathery arms are covered with mucous and they are quite sticky.
