No problem - there's a place where I go diving quite frequently, where I often see mating MegaMouths while decompressing. Mind you, it's not a very pretty sight - especially when they start getting kinky and to the oral stuff (I'm sure you can imagine). Nevertheless, it's more interesting than watching plankton drift by. > We'd also like you to set up a shot of some Sperm Whales feeding on Giant > Squid, and a coelicanth (sp?) laying its eggs... A couple of weeks ago I was following this Architeuthis - a real big one - and all of a sudden this massive Sprem whale comes out of nowhere. I figured, "This will be good.", so I hid behind a ock to watch. I was fully expecting to watch a serious predation event - but instead, the whale comes up to the squid, opens it's mouth, and this school of juvenile Coelacanths come out and start "cleaning" the squid (i.e., they were picking parasites off of it). They little fellas didn't want to get too far out of the mouth of the whale, so the squid had to wrap its tentacles around the whale to hold itself close (and all this time we thought those scars on the whale were from the whales trying to eat the squid). Incidently, Kevin, I'm ashamed of you! EVERYBODY knows that Coelacanths are live-bearers!

Come with to PNG next year - that's where the Orcas eat reef sharks. > P.S. I'll send you our shot list on Mac format - what's that?? Your IBM > can't read Mac?

Well, if Mac wasn't so tight-ass proprietary with their disk format system, they might have actually made it as a company. Aloha, Rich
