Weedy Sea Dragons . Habitat and sex ID


Flinders Jetty is the best and easiest place in Australia and therefore the world to view and locate Weedy Sea Dragons. It’s not unusual to find 3 or 4 Dragons feeding together. Pick a good snorkelling day and it will soon become apparent(because of the numbers seen) that Flinders is a perfect Habitat for Dragons. Sexing Dragons older than 12 months is also easy. Males are more slender and have thicker tails than females. Females have deeper bodies than the males. The differences between the two becomes more apparent the older they are.

    Beautiful and informative video. Nice clear water. The only time I went the vis wasn’t nearly so good and I only had a fleeting glimpse of one before i had to resurface.
