This fish has legs

Two studies in Current Biology provide the most comprehensive understanding to date on how sea robins use their legs, what genes control the emergence of those legs, and how these animals could be used as a conceptual framework for evolutionary adapt…

Learn more about manta rays… https://ausgeo.co/mantarays

Have you encountered a manta ray in the wild before? One woman did – and it led to her changing careers and launching a project to protect these ‘charismatic’ underwater flying carpets.

For more than a decade now, Australian marine scientist Dr Asia Haines has been an integral part of University of the Sunshine Coast’s Project Manta – a team investigating the population, biology and ecology of the enigmatic reef manta ray (Mobula alfredi) in eastern Australian waters.

Ask anyone who has encountered a manta ray in the wild to recount the experience, and you’ll witness their eyes illuminate!
