Did You Know 🤔

A creature is so perfectly camouflaged that it looks like floating seaweed, dancing through the ocean with delicate leaf-like appendages! The leafy sea dragon, found mostly in the waters off South Australia, is nature's ultimate master of disguise. These marine chameleons are so incredibly intricate that they're practically invisible among the kelp, moving so gracefully they seem more like a living piece of underwater art than an actual creature.

Events: December 13-15
