Maldives atolls on not so green

"Flickr user Ahmed Zahid has an outstanding series of aerial shots from the Maldives, the island nation in the Indian Ocean. Unfortunately, Google's coverage of the Maldives is currently a mess, with decent high-resolution coverage in some areas, and coarse low-resolution coverage in other areas, so some of these image comparisons are not as attractive as they could be. The high-resolution imagery also has an unfortunate tendency to render the ocean as black, losing the sense of tropical beauty seen in the clear blue waters of the photographs. Still, this is an excellent series of images. Be sure to check Ahmed Zahid's Flickr photostream for many other great images from the Maldives as well. "

Sticky



Fish mommys are in ways, like human mommys.They get distracted easily... by fat boyfriends. Or..., by boyfriends with fat wallets.
----------------------------------------------
And when mommy is not around for protection, fish play sticky.
Sticky.
Fish hatch out of their eggs, already prepared and educated.Fish, more or less, are born to be self sufficent and ready for a life of struggle. And survival.
From the moment they are born, fish live life on the edge. Always on the lookout for something to eat, or ironically always on the lookout for something that might eat... them.
But they provide quite an example of togetherness.Of hunting for food, or, of protection from the enenemy.
It's a jungle after all. In the jungle, survival is first priority. Then comes food. Then sex, er... fun.
---------------------------------------------
These juvenile fish bundle tightly to form a protective ball.
It definetely is a squeeze, with everyone trying for a space in the safe centre, where it is farthest from the predator. Hence their entire junior life is a hectic frenzy for a chance from the inner inside.
The moment fish strays outside the ball, its "snap" and goodbye.Out of 7,000 (from a typical group), 1 survives to become an adult!
Lesson: Protection = sticking together.
