In just two weeks, the frogfish can change its own color to match the environment. They generally do not move very much, but sometimes use the pelvic fins (the ones below the body) to walk along the sea floor. Their pectoral fins (one on each side) are used for stability.

In Australia, a group of whales circled us and gradually came closer for each round they took. As they moved closer we could recognize their fine details, their uniqueness and beauty. Scientists in Australia use the spots on their skin to distinguish them from each other and is the primary method used to count the number of individuals. We dove with all together five minke whales for almost two hours before they perished into the open sea. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience I will never forget.
