Chelidonura hirundinina mating

August 26, 2005
From: Anne DuPont

Dear Bill,
Here is a series of photos showing Chelidonura hirundinina mating. The encounter lasted 9 minutes. (with a digital camera now it is possible to know the exact moment a photo is taken)

These two C hirundinina were found crawling on sand during the day. The photos were taken January 28, 2005, depth appx 6 feet, at Stocking Island, Exumas, Bahamas.

Thank you again for the wonderful forum.

Cordially,
Anne DuPont
