The waters near Tioman Island hold a positive cornucopia of fish, crustaceans, corals, cetaceans, chelonii, echidnoderms, Medusozoa and sharks – with the vast majority of them being perfectly safe and non-lethal for human beings. Some of these lovable animals are out and proud – colourful, flamboyant, and unafraid of human presence, such as the Titan Trigger Fish, the Trevailles, Fusiliers and the Cornet fish. Some of these animals are more enigmatic, ambush predators that prefer to hide amongst the undergrowth, camouflaging themselves until the opportune moment to strike at their prey – like the Black Tip Shark, the Blue Spotted Stingray, and the map puffer fish. Don’t worry, these animals may sound menacing and are hard to spot – but as long as you see them in time and stay out of their way, they are perfectly harmless!
