Behaviour category winner. Turtle eating Jellyfish by Richard Carey (Thailand). Location: Similan Islands, Thailand. “After an early morning dive in the Similan Islands ... a green turtle surfaced near our boat. I decided to get in and snorkel with it ... soon it spotted a large mosaic jellyfish ... dived down and started feeding on it. The turtle obviously wanted to keep the jelly close to the surface so every time it swam deeper the turtle would bite onto it and drag it back upwards. I spent a few minutes watching it and taking photos, and then left the turtle to finish his meal in peace”. (Photo by Richard Carey/Underwater Photographer of the Year 2016)
