Leafy sea dragon
Leafy sea dragon (Phycodurus eques). Its leaf-like protrusions and colouring allow it to resemble floating seaweed. It inhabits the kelp-covered reef waters around Australia. Its diet consists of shrimp & larval fish and it grows up to half a metre in length. The leafy sea dragon feeds by sucking through its pipe-like mouth, which is opened by expanding a joint on the lower snout. Photographed off Kangaroo Island, Australia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Leafy Sea Dragon (Phycodurus eques) in all its natural glory. With its leaf-like protrusions and intricate coloring, this remarkable creature effortlessly blends into its surroundings, resembling floating seaweed amidst the kelp-covered reef waters of Australia. Growing up to half a meter in length, this male sea dragon's unique appearance is perfectly adapted for camouflage. The Leafy Sea Dragon's diet primarily consists of shrimp and larval fish, which it skillfully captures by sucking them through its pipe-like mouth. To accomplish this feat, the sea dragon expands a joint on its lower snout, opening up an avenue for sustenance. It is truly fascinating how nature has equipped these bony fish with such specialized feeding mechanisms. Photographed off Kangaroo Island in Australia, this image not only captures the beauty of this elusive marine creature but also highlights the rich biodiversity found within our oceans. The Leafy Sea Dragon exemplifies phytomimesis - mimicking plant features to blend seamlessly into their environment - showcasing nature's incredible ability to adapt and survive. This photograph from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of the wonders that lie beneath our ocean's surface and invites us to appreciate and protect these delicate ecosystems.
