🌊 Dive into the magical underwater world of the Bahamas and Altherra, where intelligence, adaptation, and survival converge beneath the waves.

🧠 The Caribbean Reef Octopus—one of the smartest invertebrates on Earth—camouflages, escapes with jet propulsion, and even sacrifices limbs to outwit predators. Its powerful arms and venomous bite make it a stealthy hunter in an isolated saltwater lake.

🐘 Manatees, gentle herbivores also known as sea cows, graze for up to 12 hours a day, consuming 10% of their body weight in seagrass. With bristled lips as sensitive as human fingertips and the ability to slow their heartbeat by 80%, these peaceful giants are perfectly adapted to shallow tropical waters—but face modern threats from boats and fishing gear.

🐢 Loggerhead and Green Sea Turtles reveal incredible navigation abilities, returning to the very beaches where they were born. Loggerheads crush crustaceans with immense jaw power, while the green sea turtle, a true herbivore, shapes its seagrass ecosystem.

From intelligent defense to epic migrations, this is marine life at its most extraordinary.
