Did you know? Gibbons Feb 20 2008
Unlike most apes, gibbons form monogamous, usually life-long partnerships. About 3% of mammal species, which number more than 4 000, are monogamous.

Sodwana Bay in summer means one thing for me: ragged-tooth sharks in clear blue water. In mid to late summer, females settle on some of the Maputaland reefs for their gestation period.
They are among my favourite subjects, but it’s not without difficulty that we get decent footage of their behaviour. During this gestation period, the animals go into self-preservation mode and are very shy and difficult to approach. When we dive on scuba they flee to the edge of our visibility.
