This postcard set features 6 types of marine life found in Taiwan's waters: Sea Turtle / Dolphin / Shark / Whale / Ray / Tropical Fish Sea Turtle There are a total of 7 species of sea turtles worldwide, and Taiwan is home to 5 of them. Sea turtles prefer warm waters and are capable of long-distance migration, hence their presence in all oceans except the Arctic. Sea turtles lay their eggs on land. During the nesting season, they undertake long journeys from their feeding grounds back to their nesting sites, which are often their birthplaces. Dolphin Dolphins are among the most intelligent animals and are known for their friendly and playful nature, making them consistently popular with humans. It's a common sight to see large pods of them accompanying boats during whale-watching excursions, sometimes racing the vessels, other times leaping out of the water. Shark Sharks often carry a ferocious reputation, with species like the Great White Shark, Tiger Shark, and Bull Shark being among the most dangerous. However, not all sharks are this fierce! The Whale Shark, which has gained immense popularity in recent years, has become a favorite among divers due to its docile nature and endearing appearance. The Philippines also actively promotes thresher shark diving tours, which pose no threat to humans. This approach not only protects the ecosystem but also sustains the local economy! Such tourism strategies are far more visionary and sustainable than capturing sharks to sell for profit. Whale Whales are categorized into toothed whales and baleen whales. Whaling was highly prevalent in the early 20th century, with whale meat served as a delicacy and whale oil used as fuel for various machinery and lamps. Although international bans on whaling were signed in the 1980s, decades of intensive whaling had drastically reduced whale populations. Ray Rays typically have slender tails and bodies shaped like discs or kites. Some gracefully glide through the water as if flying, while others camouflage themselves in sandy bottoms, with only their pair of round eyes visible. Tropical Fish Taiwan is situated at the junction of tropical and subtropical zones on the edge of the world's largest continental shelf. Coral reefs, covering only 0.3% of the global ocean area, are found around Taiwan and its outlying islands. These reefs are home to as many as 1,500 species of coral reef fish, including a considerable number of vibrantly colored tropical fish. Each postcard features handmade raised foil printing, with slight variations making every piece unique.
