Animals in the Sea at Monkey Mia by Callam Thomas

We went on a big boat in Monkey Mia called the Shotover. We saw a manta ray, it was really fast and big. A tiger shark came to us. Tiger sharks can eat people if they want to.




Here I am lying on the net of the Shotover

Finn and I met some cool people from Brasil




We saw a massive squadron of sting rays . Some sting rays can look like a shark, they have a head like a shovel but a tail like a shark and they are called shovel rays.
Here is a Loggerhead turtle
A squadron of rays

The dolphins that rode with the boat.

A turtle bobbing to the surfce.




A crazy sea snake was twisting and turning. Sea snakes are not harmful unless you really annoy them. We also saw a pod of dolphins that nearly hit our boat.

There were funny turtles that stuck their heads out of the water. They can live over one hundred years.

We saw sun burnt dugon with a sunburned back.

And the sunburned dugong.
