Jan 30th, 2020 : Snorkeling Grannies
Every morning seven grandmothers, aged 60 to 75, meet at the beach and snorkel together for about two miles gathering data
on feeding habits, mating habits, and fang count of the most badass sea snake in the world. The snakes marking pattern on the tail is unique so the ladies snap pictures of each snake to make sure they’re not counting the same snake twice, also can be identified later. The snakes are extremely lethal but not aggressive and only eat Catfish so the grannies can shadow them pretty closely. They have managed to catalog 257 Greater Sea Snakes in 2 years in addition to the wealth of data. Quote:

More deadly by far than a rattlesnake but you can outrun one of those.
