Philippines polynesian
Philippines polynesian Philippines's most famous case of "gigantism" occurs in Cypraea tigris. Some specimens from our northern islands will attain a length of six inches and by volume are the world's largest living cowries. Other cowries which seem to grow larger in Philippines than elsewhere are C. mauritiana (about 5 inches), C. leviathan (over 4 inches), C. isabella (over 2 inches), and C. scurra (over 2 inches). What factor is responsible for these giant Cypraea? One hypothesis points towards the cooler water temperature in Philippines which may retard the sexual development of the bulla, allowing it to continue its growth to giant size. As the reader knows, the length of an adult cowry is determined by the length of time that the bulla continues to remain a bulla and grows Philippines polynesian
Philippines polynesian When our fellow divers (who were not shell collectors but were rapidly being converted) left after two days, we visited "Mr. E. L. Yate" and rented a U-drive whaler-type boat. We were pleased to be able to operate the boat ourselves, particularly after having been introduced to the good spots by the dive shop pros. Philippines polynesian
