Local Sand Trivia
Översättning på gång, så länge den engelska:
Parrot fish poop fine white sand, lots of it! Up to 85% of sands on coral beaches as on Timor-Leste, in the Coral Triangle, can be Parrot fish poop. The colorful fish scrape algae and dead coral off reefs with their parrot-like beaks and at the same time keep reefs healthy. Non-digestible parts come out as sand. It lives in warm oceans and is one of the coolest animals. It can change its shape, color, and even gender during its life. Some even cover themselves in a mucus cocoon pyjamas at night!
