It’s always a special moment when you interact with these shy beauties.

A pelagic predator who’s wide head contains special sensory cells that are used to detect the electric field given off by all other fishes. It’s also useful for digging out stingrays hiding in the sand ..

Sadly , due to their much coveted fins and the tendency for them to aggregate in large numbers enabling targeted fishing to decimate their numbers - they are rapidly racing towards extinction.

More than ever we need to raise awareness and finds ways to help them remain such a valuable part of the oceans ecosystem.
