EDITORS COMMENTS
Say cheese! This tawny nurse shark knows how to strike a pose in the stunning waters of the Maldives. With its sleek and powerful body, this cartilaginous fish is ready for its close-up. Known as Nebrius ferrugineus in scientific terms, this carpet shark is a true beauty of the Indian Ocean. Its unique coloration blends perfectly with the surrounding coral reefs, making it a master of disguise. But don't be fooled by its calm demeanor! Nurse sharks may look docile, but they are skilled hunters lurking beneath the waves. With their strong jaws and sharp teeth, they can quickly snatch up their prey without breaking a sweat. Sadly, these incredible creatures are facing threats in their natural habitat. As an endangered species, every sighting becomes even more special and precious. Let's cherish this moment captured by Jordi Chias and spread awareness about protecting our marine life. So next time you dive into the depths of Vaavu Atoll or any other tropical paradise, keep your eyes peeled for these magnificent creatures. And remember to capture memories through your lens while respecting nature's delicate balance.
