Mudskippers are fish that seem to have forgotten they’re supposed to stay in the water.

Found across tropical mangroves and mudflats, these incredible amphibious fish spend much of their time out of water, moving across the mud using their modified pectoral fins, defending territories and even interacting with each other on land.

Watching a fish move across land, disappear into a burrow and then pop back out of the mud is a pretty incredible reminder of just how diverse and adaptable fish can be.

A huge thank you to Penelope @petaira for all the information and plenty of laughs in the field!

Anddddd that’s the end of our second Sunrise Sweat Program. 12 women. 12 weeks. So many moments of laughter, lessons learnt, tools gained, and friendships made 😭💛

I started this program to blend strength and conditioning training with inner work and watching the progress, the big and little wins and the ways in which this program has impacted life outside of it has been beautiful to witness.

Thank you to the 12 women who continued to show up over the past 3 months. It was always the best way to start Friday mornings with you ladies 🫶🏼

The topic for the 10th week of our Sunrise Sweat Program was the importance of incorporating PLAY into our lives.

It’s a foundational part of a child’s development because it activates parts of the brain responsible for creativity, imagination, and problem-solving 🧠

Yet as we grow older, we stop making time for it, thinking we’re “too old.”

This is a reminder that having fun for the sake of it and bringing play back into different aspects of life - is just as important as being serious.

I laughed sooo hard playing these games, and it was such a good reminder of why we all need a little more of it… not just for fitness, but for our energy, our nervous systems, and the joy of being human 💛

Thank you for capturing these @fujibysav 📸

Appreciation post to our Sunrise Sweat gals 💙

They’ve been showing up every Friday morning at 5:45AM and putting in the work - physically and mentally.

These mornings are a reminder that the small things e.g. getting outdoors, being around good humans, moving your body, and nurturing your inner landscape create powerful ripple effects that carry into every aspect of your life 🌀🦋

The Western Yellowfin Bream (Acanthopagrus morrisoni) is a species found in the northern regions of Australia. It is a protandrous hermaphrodite, transitioning from male to female at approximately 35 cm in length. In Shark Bay, Western Australia, the species forms spawning aggregations and reproduces only a limited number of times during a short spawning season from late winter to early spring.

The species name morrisoni honours Sue Morrison of the Western Australian Museum, who collected the type specimens and tissue samples used in the molecular study that described the species. Her assistance over several years has been instrumental in advancing understanding of the Western Yellowfin Bream in north-western Western Australia.

🔬 Did you know sawfish use their toothy rostrum like a sword to stun prey? Sadly, all five species are critically endangered due to habitat loss and bycatch, and the green sawfish population has plummeted by over 80% in the last 50 years.

To celebrate International Sawfish Day, we’re spotlighting the vital work of researchers like Penélope Taira Dantas Suárez, who tagged and sampled this green sawfish to study its DNA and diet.

Protecting sawfish means protecting the balance of entire marine ecosystems 💚

#InternationalSawfishDay #MarineConservation #EndangeredSpecies #DNA #ecosystems

This activity was conducted by trained professionals under the appropriate research permits. Do not attempt to handle sawfish unless you have been trained and authorised to do so.

We had this Swan following us for so long, we thought it was just friendly because that is
their nature. However, on closer inspection, we saw that it had fishing line all around it,
and it wanted us to help it. We captured it using some potato salad and removed the
hooks and line, but, there was another hook down its throat. We didn’t want to risk
injuring it, so we called up our friend @fairy.tern , and she put us in contact with the right people to speak to, and the Swan was taken to the animal hospital to undergo
surgery. A couple of weeks later, we were notified that it was being released, back in the same spot, and with its partner. We were very lucky to see it reunite with its flock and live out its days; that was a special moment.
