Smart Grouper Finds Soft Bed Overlooking 6,000 Foot Abyss

Nassau groupers are exceptionally smart fish. They can grow to more than three feet in length and over 55 pounds. They are one of the top predators on the reef, afraid of only large sharks. This one lives in a marine park off Little Cayman Island, where the animals are protected. He doesn't even need to fear humans. The islands have been formed by volcanic activity and pressure from the shifting of tectonic plates, creating extreme vertical walls on which the islands sit. The reef surrounding the island overlooks an abyss that is 6,000 feet deep. It's a beautiful expanse of blue ocean with nothing below.
