A few weeks ago I went on a whale watching tour from Gloucester and we came across this beautiful male, Satula 🐋
He has a unique trait where he “purrs” before taking a dive - he is the only whale they’ve heard do it, and they don’t know why! Guesses?
Volume up to hear the purr (and excitement lol)

Sex on the reef! 😛 Video I captured a couple of weeks ago in the Red Sea.
Every year, masses of these brown surgeonfish get together to spawn for a few weeks at sunset. Other fish love to join the party, like the Seargant Major fish here that immediately go for the egg and sperm.
