Cuttlefish Eating Fish Alive

While on a night dive I spotted this hunting cuttlefish eating fish alive. The cuttlefish is an ambush predator and a master at colour changing. It has 8 tentacles and shoots out two long feeding tentacles to catch the fish.

Its two arms are covered in suckers, which holds the prey tightly while it pulls the fish toward its beak for eating.

As you can see, the cuttlefish catches fish very quickly.

These are some of the marinelife we may see on a dive with Wild Kenya Safaris.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies. The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
