Marine Life of the Kimberley Region - Day 5

Video | Updated 9 years ago

The animals seen in these videos are being handled by experts who know how to avoid potential bites and stings. To avoid accidents it is recommended that all marine animals should be watched and not touched. Please enjoy the videos and remember to leave wildlife alone, both for their protection and yours.

When the Western Australian Museum goes exploring and cataloguing the remote waters of the Kimberley region, you can be with us in real time.

The sixth video in this series documents the fifth day of the research expedition. In this video Andrew Hosie talks about a cleverly camouflaged crab and the adaptations it has made for reef living. Also, John Huisman speaks about the plants and algae of the reef, including some plants that are actually just enormous single cells.

This project has been made possible with the support of Woodside
