      Texto de: B_rad Amigos de Yap e do Mergulho, a atividade por aqui está ficando ainda mais animada com o aumento dos comportamentos reprodutivos. Durante a estação de acasalamento, uma experiência de mergulho típica numa estação de limpeza é se ver múltiplos animais com uma só coisa em suas mentes... Isso quer dizer que...

Há uns dias atrás não foi diferente comigo, quando entrei num barco rumo sul para o point de Yap Caverns e paredes adjacentes. Há...

    Yap Mantas in B/W

    Posted by gm@mantaray.com on December 11, 2013
    The manta action is getting stronger with the mating behavior. During this season a typical cleaning station experience is multiple animals with a one-track mind. This means that they care less about divers and more about impressing their would-be partner. Big females glide out of the vis, closely followed by multiple male rays and keep...
