The Ocean Lover

Those of us who spend time communing with the ocean and its creatures know that fish are smarter than people think.

We have seen them gazing at us with curiosity, responding to our gestures –even to our intentions.  We have seen their crafty ways to hide, hunt, and interact with their environment.  There is no question that fish feel, and think. They just don’t seem to care much to show it.

Scott Gardner, a professional diver, was diving in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef when he discovered a blackspot tuskfish with a clam in its mouth. The fish was banging the clam against a rock trying crack it open. With his camera, Scott snapped the first images ever recorded of a fish using tools.
