The potato cod is a giant fish that can weigh up to 100 kg and grow up to 2 meters long. They are found in the Indo-Pacific region and are known for their friendly nature with divers. Potato cods eat small rays, crabs, fish, squid, octopuses and western rock lobsters. They like to ambush their prey by hiding behind lumps of coral until their food swims past. They then lunge quickly to grab their meal. The cod's head and mouth are so large that it can envelope prey in one huge gulp!

The Galápagos is a land of volcanoes and marine iguanas. These reptiles are the only lizards in the world that regularly swim in the sea. Each day they brave 10-foot (3m) waves to forage for seaweed underwater. The nutrient-rich currents that hit the Galápagos are relatively chilly, so the cold-blooded iguanas must warm up in the sun before jumping in. Bright red Sally Lightfoot crabs are on hand to help keep the lizards’ solar-panel-scales in tip-top condition. They pick off dead skin in what seems like a weird seaside pampering session.

Have you ever seen how big the eyes of damselflies and dragonflies are? They are huge! But why?
⠀
These ferocious aerobatic hunters are renowned for their enormous compound eyes, which give them the optical acuity necessary to seize prey in mid-air over open water. Both dragons and damsels have short antennae, so vision is their primary means of navigating and capturing food.
