Spectacular Aetobatus narinari jaws reveal the distinctive tongue of this remarkable species. Mature spotted eagle rays can reach lengths of up to 5 meters, with the largest individuals boasting a wingspan of up to 3 meters and weighing up to 230 kilograms. Spotted eagle rays primarily prey on bivalves, crabs, whelks, and other benthic invertebrates. They also consume mollusks, crustaceans—particularly malacostracans—echinoderms, polychaete worms, hermit crabs, shrimp, octopuses, and small fish.
The specialized chevron-shaped tooth structure of the spotted eagle ray aids in crushing the hard shells of mollusks. Their jaws feature calcified struts that support them and prevent damage when breaking through tough prey shells. These rays exhibit unique behavior, often observed digging with their snouts in ocean sand. This particular specimen hails from the waters of Madagascar and is presented in a double black lacquered wood mount, meticulously crafted by One of a Kind.

The Blue Peacock, also known as the Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus), is a species native to the Indian subcontinent and has been introduced to various other countries. This majestic bird is a resident breeder across the Indian subcontinent, predominantly inhabiting the drier lowland areas of Sri Lanka. In regions of northern India, the Indian peafowl holds cultural significance and is protected by religious practices, often foraging around villages and towns for scraps.
Historical records suggest that the peacock may have been introduced to Europe by Alexander the Great or reached Athens as early as 450 BCE. Since then, it has been introduced to numerous parts of the world, becoming feral in some areas. The Indian peafowl has found its way to countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, France, and many others, spreading its splendor across continents.
Celebrated in Hindu and Greek mythology, the Indian peafowl holds a special place in cultural symbolism and is revered as the national bird of India.

Portunus pelagicus, commonly known as the flower crab or blue crab, is a large crab species inhabiting the Indo-Pacific region. It can be found along the coasts of Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Additionally, it thrives in intertidal estuaries spanning most of Australia and extending eastward to New Caledonia. The species holds significant commercial importance across the Indo-Pacific, where it is sought after for its traditional hard shells or marketed as "soft-shelled" crabs, considered a delicacy in various Asian cuisines. The species is highly valued, particularly in the Persian Gulf, where it is extensively harvested for meat consumption, with females commanding higher prices than males.
Noteworthy traits such as rapid growth, ease of larviculture, high fecundity, and relatively robust tolerance to both nitrate and ammonia make Portunus pelagicus an ideal candidate for aquaculture.
