Warm Water Species
Submitted by meglodon on Wed, 2013-04-17 16:22
As everyone has noticed a lot of sub -tropical species are turning up in areas where they haven't been seen before, or at least not on a regular basis. The one thing I've been waiting to see reported in the metro area is that most avoided of all sea creatures the Sea Snake. Not that I want to see any it's just that with all other things coming down from up north I thought it would only be a matter of time before someone comes accross one. After a good winter storm it was quite common to find the odd sea snake or two washed up on the beaches in the metro area.
With the warmer water coming down is it possible that they are being eaten by the pelargics on their way south, just a thought.

Challenger Beach
My mate was down at Challenger a month ago and saw a monster in the shallows. He thuoght it was a bit of weed until he went in for a closer look.
He shat himself and dragged the family from the water.
