Occurred on April 7, 2023 / Julian Rocks, Byron Bay, Australia
Info from Licensor: "Green sea turtle devouring the remains of a lion's mane jellyfish. This shot was taken 3 weeks ago during a freediving session at Julian Rocks, Australia. Sea turtles love eating jellyfish but it's not often that you get to experience it right before your eyes. If you're wondering how come they don't get stung, it's because they're reptiles and they have thick scales that protect them from the jellyfish's deadly tentacles. However, notice how the turtle closes its eyes before going in for the bite to protect them!" Credit: @santireef
