This morning's pre-sunrise trip to Pulau Sekudu was rewarded with my first wild sighting of a Mantis shrimp, plus lots of... erm, copulating activity going on in the lagoons and in the little water puddles. O_O Snails, crabs, and even sea cucumbers were going about doing what they were created to do. Might be the breeding season for the intertidal inhabitants, one might say. Ria and the wildfilms crew were there documenting away.
Budding fellow Imperial biologist Xiao came along, and she was quite amazed at what she saw. Even a hermit crab or a carpet anemone was enough to send her wow!-ing way. :) Didn't see the bigger animals - the toadfish, seahorses, 'sotongs' and octopuses - though, most likely 'cos they've all went back into hiding after the break of dawn...
