Check out the endangered species you may encounter during scuba diving

One of the great things about scuba diving is that it gives you the opportunity to get familiar with the wonderful marine life. Sure, you can stop by a local aquarium to see fish and other sea creatures, but to be honest, it’s not comparable to seeing them in their natural habitat like when you go scuba diving. Hmm. What is particularly surprising is that you may have the opportunity to see some of the marine life that is currently considered endangered. Let’s take a look at some of the underwater animals that you have to work hard to see before they are gone forever.

Endangered shark

Scuba diving in shark-infested waters may sound like a bad idea, but in reality, sharks you see while diving are unlikely to attack. In fact, they are actually pretty shy and tend to be more afraid of divers than vice versa. Some dive tour companies offer specific dives designed to give divers the opportunity to find those elusive sharks. There are several types of sharks that are currently endangered, and scuba diving may be the only opportunity to see up close before it runs out forever. These include basking sharks, angel sharks, thresher sharks, and hammerhead sharks. These sharks can be found in different parts of the world, so if you want the opportunity to see them, you need to plan your scuba diving trip accordingly.

Endangered turtle

Meeting turtles is like fun for scuba divers. Anyone who has ever dived in Hawaii will say that Hawaiian green turtles are great. However, these are not the only types of turtles you may encounter during scuba diving. Hawksbill turtles are currently on the list of endangered species and are native to the Caribbean, Indonesia and Australia. Leatherback turtles are not endangered, but they are still at risk. They are most likely to be found by people diving in Barbados and Indonesia.

Other endangered sea creatures

Other endangered sea creatures that may be encountered during scuba diving include sharks and turtles, as well as slow-moving, difficult-to-move habitat loss and boat accidents. There is Florida Manatee, a calm animal that is under both threats, resulting in frequent hits by propellers from high speed boats. Scuba divers may also encounter endangered Hawaiian and Mediterranean monk seals.

Scuba diving is a great opportunity to see these endangered species in their natural habitats.

Marula Fruits-African sake for wildlife, or a complete myth?

Are you familiar with the Marula tree? Otherwise, it’s a beautiful African tree that produces wonderful and delicious fruits! Apparently a delicious fruit that intoxicates elephants …? The story goes on for years … it has even become a liquor called “Amarula” for lovers (by the way, it’s very tasty like Baileys)! origin The story dates back to the 1970s (1974 to be exact). A man named Jamie Uys produced two documentaries called “Beautiful People” (he also directed “Gods Must Be Crazy”). In particular, the footage of wild animals getting drunk after eating the fruits of Marula was an immediate hit (and won the highest documentary award). Since then, millions of people are still persuaded that elephants are really intoxicated with such “powerful” fruits! The question is, is that true? Genuine information or complete fallacy? Sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately (unfortunately) (depending on how you see it ...

Facts you need to know before putting a ferret on the cat tower

If you are like some pet owners, you may have a mixed household of pets. For pet owners who own ferrets, you may wonder if the cat tower is a safe place for ferrets to play. Another concern is whether cats and ferrets can share the same tower. Many also want to know if it’s better to buy multiple cat towers. Ferrets love to climb and enjoy finding special places to hide. They will fully enjoy the small tunnels and boxes that come as part of many cat towers. However, although ferrets are considered intelligent animals, they do not seem to fully understand their height, or more precisely, their height is too high. Due to this lack of awareness of height, it may be a good idea to buy a cat tree on the short side. Ferret owners report that the playful ferret fell out of the unit without injury. Make sure the base is fully seated to prevent it from tipping over easily. There seems to be no conflict with cats and ferrets who enjoy using the same cat tower. In fact, one owner revealed th...
