Hey guys,
Went out fishing today in Moreton Bay and came across this old dinosaur. I didn't know what it was at first as it was so big, thought it was a juvie whale that had lost it's way then after seeing it take a breath a few times I could see it was a leatherback. From info I have found the largest one ever recorded was 3 metres total length, this guy was easy that and probably a bit more. I see allot of dugong's while out on the water and they are around 2.5-3 metres in length and quite beefy and this thing made a dugong look tiny.
Didn't end up doing any fishing I just followed this guy around with my electric motor for 3 or more hours watching him/her suck down jelly fish by the dozen, it was truly a magnificent animal.
Cheers,
Al
