Wildlife by group and country
Hanifaru Bay, in Baa Atoll, is a manta feeding bay, and the atoll itself is also included as a biosphere reserve. Vaadhoo appears for another reason: its bioluminescent tides. The other four are walls and cleaning stations of 30 to 40 metres. Three of the five species are endangered or vulnerable.
Places come from reviewed species-place links; the species shown at each place are only those in this group.
