oo a hard one because everything is cool! i like the really cryptic animals that look like other things, there is this poisonous fish called the leafy scorpion fish which just looks like a leaf! Then there is the mimic octopus which can make itself look like lion fish, snakes and rays to scare off predators, my favorite though is the yellow box fish hes so cute, like a little yellow box with spots.

I’d also say one of the most amazing animals i’ve seen i the whale shark, the biggest fish in the ocean, 18m long, the size of a bus! But harmless as a fly, they exist only on microscopic plankton. Its amazing how the smallest animals on earth feed the biggest!!
