🚨🦈 New shark science! 🦈🚨 We observed a sexually mature male whale shark biting the caudal fin of a (likely juvenile) female whale shark. Biting is a pre-copulatory behaviour for many shark species, so this observation provides possible insights into the mating behaviours of this endangered species 🌊

Mountain #gorillas in #Uganda ☺️🦍 I met them in 2016, I wonder what they are up to today?

Jenna Hounslow and I, had the pleasure of attending the 20th colloquium, on the #philosophy of #Indigneous Knowledges. We enjoyed fantastic presentations, sharing of kaartdijin, and interesting discussions 💡📚🐍🌎

Hi, I’m new here 😊👋 I’m a PhD candidate using multi-sensor #biologging and #machinelearning methods to understand #whaleshark behaviour and foraging ecology at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia 🦈🦈🦈
