The Lembeh Strait is a popular scuba diving destination, famed for its excellent "muck diving". A huge diversity of exotic marine creatures can be found on the mucky seabed, including everything from tropical fish to benthic sharks to nudibranchs.

Wild Arabia - Hidden Deep in the Desert | Rains (Nat Geo Wild)


Arabian Desert | Animals | Rains Many are not aware about the diverse wildlife that is found in Saudi Arabia. Many of these species have adapted to the Arabian climate over the years and are only found in Arabia in the wild. The animal life in Saudi Arabia is very limited due to the desert climate and most of the animals live either off the coast in the seas or in the southwest where there is more greenery. The most notable mammal in the country is the camel although smaller mammals also exist like the ibex goat hyena and smaller mammals and rodents. The sea life is primarily limited to the Persian Gulf and Red Sea as these two seas contain incredible sea life and the Red Sea also boasts a number of great corals which only add to the animal diversity. Among the birds in Saudi Arabia most only pass by on their migratory route but the number of birds on this migratory route is incredibly large. Among the most common birds are flamingos pelicans pigeons and buzzards. There are few amphibians in the country but a number of reptiles including lizards and snakes Most of the endemic wildlife is found in the southern part of the country in the mountainous region. The region is the most verdant in the country largely due to the cooler temperatures and moisture-laden air.

Heart Of The Okavango: Island Of Lions [African Predators & Preys Documentary] Real Wild


Described as "the jewel" of the Kalahari, Okavango is a tranquil and isolated oasis set in Botswana's unsympathetic desert. Home to many of Africa's big predators and indigenous semi-nomadic tribes, the Okavango Delta is a unique natural resource and one of the largest deltas in the world. Today, it is an oasis teeming with an amazing cross-section of unexpected animal life. Fish, crocodiles, hippos and antelope coexist in the delta, and the lion rules this kingdom. This is a rich but rare paradise, isolated by the watery wilderness of the delta. But will the recent discovery of tourism endanger the beating heart of Okavango?

Australian rescue group helps animals pushed out of their habitats by fires


Ecologists in Australia now believe more than a billion animals have died in the country’s unprecedented bushfires. More than 25 million acres have burned since September.

Jamie Yuccas reports on how an animal rescue group is trying to save them.

Koala rescue - Team deployed to save animals from horrors of Australia bushfires


A disaster response team has been deployed to Kangaroo Island in South Australia to begin a search and rescue mission for thousands of koalas and other animals caught in bushfires. The team formed by the animal charity Humane Society International are there to rescue wildlife suffering from burns, injuries, smoke inhalation and other trauma.  They will also build water and food stations to sustain the uninjured animals who managed to survive. But according to Humane Society International senior specialist in disaster response, Kelly Donithan, conditions on the ground are extremely harrowing: "These are some of the toughest scenes I've ever witnessed as an animal rescuer. The bodies of charred animals as far as the eye can see," "However, as we set out each day on search and rescue, we're still finding animals alive, injured, dazed or traumatized, and it's such a relief to be able to give them immediate life-saving assistance." "We've seen kangaroos with devastating burn injuries and dehydrated koalas gasping for water. Amidst all this death, every time we find an animal alive it feels like a miracle." Koalas may now be designated an endangered species as so many have been killed.
