A white eyed moray eel in Kenya

The White Eyed Moray Eel is also sometimes referred to as the Greyface Moray Eel. They can usually be found on the sea bed aka the benthic zone, where they live in crevices between hard and soft corals during the day and come out at night to feed. Their diet consists mostly of small fish and invertebrates such as cuttlefish and octopus.

As i was drift diving along the reef, this little white eyed moray had its head protruding from its crevice with its head slowly rocking back and forth to the current. I found the colours and the angle interesting so i went ahead and clicked the photo.

The Colobus Monkeys Of Diani Beach

Angolan Black And White Colobus Monkey in Diani Beach Kenya A wildlife lover deciding to spend a few days at the Diani Beach coastline will be in for a special photography treat. Its one of the few places in Kenya where one can sight the Angolan Colobus Monkey at close range. They are easily identifiable by their black face, black fur and long locks of white hair that surrounds the face and also hangs off the shoulders. Being arboreal, they generally prefer to stay among the tree branches and canopy's feeding on leaves, fruits and flowers rather than foraging on the ground.
