Spiked Topped Apple Snails in #Mumbai (and other parts of #India) are the direct result of the #aquarium trade - either as accidental, or deliberate releases from home aquaria.

[THREAD] 🌊 Petite plongée pour découvrir un animal bien particulier et complètement fascinant. Il vit dans les eaux chaudes du bassin Indo-Européen. Laissez-moi vous présenter la crevette-mante paon ! 🦞🌏 #CSTgre #AnimauxFantastiquesIRL
Également nommée « Squille multicolore », "Odontodactylus scyllarus" est un petit crustacé stomatopode mesurant jusqu’à 18cm de long. Il doit son nom à ses belles couleurs vives. Magnifique, n’est-ce pas ? #souslocean
Les mâles arborent des couleurs vert brillant. Les femelles seront davantage olivâtres à brunes. Pour les jeunes, le corps sera plutôt jaunâtre.
En-dehors de ces belles couleurs, la crevette-mante paon possède des capacités incroyables !

This #WorldOceansDay I'm inspired by all the dedicated people working everywhere to understand and protect the dominant geographic feature of our planet. So today I'm going to be tweeting about just a few of those people to spread the news of their good deeds
1st up @HeatherKoldewey. Heather is at @OfficialZSL & has done incredible work with @projectseahorse, @Nets2Carpet and the Chagos MPA with @Bertarelli_fdn. Any one of those would be huge, but all three is just amazing. zsl.org/users/heather-…
Nxt @CoralReefFish Luiz Rocha, originally from Brazil, is leading a team of folks @calacademy discovering new fish diversity in the gloom beyond regular SCUBA depths, using rebreathers. Every bit as hard as space walking, maybe harder. calacademy.org/explore-scienc…
