Ghostly ‘dance of a sea dragon’
Written By: Administrator | Date Posted: October 29, 2009 | No Comments »One of the most elegant courtship rituals in the animal kingdom has been captured on film by a BBC crew.
The dance of the weedy sea dragon takes place every year in the shallow seas off the coast of Australia.
During the ghostly dance, two beautifully odd-looking fish mirror each other’s every movement.
At the end of the ritual, the male fish is the one to get pregnant, giving birth two months later, a process the BBC crew filmed for the first time.
