As we view this incredible creature from above, we are reminded of its significance in the animal kingdom. This cartilaginous fish, belonging to the orectolobiformes family, is not only one of nature's most awe-inspiring creations but also an endangered species deserving our utmost protection. The high angle perspective allows us to appreciate the vastness and beauty of Indonesia's marine ecosystem.
