Dangerous sea critters

The sea around Mooloobaba is dangerous.

Like this fella, who took more than passing interest in my tasty looking yet finely tuned body.

He came from nowhere and was coming at me fast, and then right over me as I fumbled for my camera. I was so glad that there was 4 inches of acrylic material between me and son-of-jaws.

Amazing shark fetus

I was taken to an aquarium today: Underwater World, here on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. In a place called Mooloobaba.

This photo shows a live shark fetus developing inside a glass womb. It should develop fully and get 'born' under the watchful eye of the
scientists there.
