Home Actor Riley Elliott HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers January 2023 Riley Elliott Instagram - A fascinating time in NZ for ocean life. This time of year we get the E Aus current pushing down our warm summer water. Already we have had sea snakes, turtles and migratory birds turn up. Also Great whites popping up in harbours likely pupping. This map shows an awesome Tiger shark I have followed for a long time, tagged by Australian scientists at Norfolk Island after we did a @sharkweek show the year prior, emphasising the need to study these animals and they did a great job tagging a bunch which you can follow on the @ocearch app. It’s my silent addiction watching where these sharks move and as you can see by the sea temperature map, this shark is moving towards NZ with that descending warm water. Tiger sharks generally reside within water over 22’C and this shark is doing just that. We used to have many records of Tigers caught out at Mayor island but research shows they generally stay deep and so are rarely seen. But I’ve also seen photos of baby Tigers caught in the Hauraki Gulf just off Auckland CBD which shows some novel and unprecedented pupping behaviour. Long story short, satellite tracking provides some amazing insight into animals and that is the endeavour of my Great White project, where people can sponsor a shark, name it, and a soon to be released website will allow anyone to follow their movements. It’s good for the sharks through scientific conservation but also for us, to best educate ourselves on where we may wish to swim.

Riley Elliott Instagram – Shark Week finally hits NZ and Australian shores!!!!

Dive into it, literally with me on this facebook interactive video https://fb.watch/h3tiKKloMh/ a full 45 min GW dive, on set as we filmed my show this year.

There were some epic shows this year, some of my favourites were Mecha Shark by our very own @kinascollay down at Stewart Island, doing what he does best, extreme cage diving in a shark shaped cage!!!
Another of my faves was Jaws vs the Blob. Sounds weird, but it’s an awesome show with @thesharkdoctor Craig O’Connell, @abc4explore Andy Casagrande and @sharkgirlmadison Stewart. It spells out how climate change induced shifts in ocean temperature can re-distribute populations of sharks forcing unprecedented overlaps in demographics with unknown affect.

Climate change was a phenomenon also relative to the show I created this year for @sharkweek ‘Clash of the Killers – Great White vs Mako’ – flashy American style title, but an epic adventure I undertook with @saminthewild_ in order to chase down the NZ location where two of the world’s gnarliest apex predators may overlap.
No jokes, this was one of the most treacherous missions any of the crew had undertaken; 60 knot winds overnighting behind active volcanoes and all!
Be sure to check it out on Weds 30th Nov 9:30pm on @discovery channel
Thanks to @radleystudios for co-producing this so well, and the crew that went to literal hell and back on the high seas with me, Sigi Spath, Cam Spath, @wazzagreen, Tony Spear, @liquid_action_films Dave Abbott, Sean Kelly, @bill.turner98 @amberandfriendsphoto George and Dean Savage. 

Also watch out for some of my previous shows made in NZ also on Mako night it seems; Weds 30th at 3:50pm Ronda ROusey Uncaged, and at 5:30pm Mako Nation (one of my best in NZ).
And the epic Sharks of Headstone Hell is as always coming back on screen!

Another one of my faves I have to mention was Walking Sharks with @forrest.galante as it’s just an amazing adventure somewhere very remote and with excellent investigatory methods by my bro Forrest.
Riley Elliott Instagram – Daisy the Great White has made an incredible journey. She was first tagged inside the northern end of Tauranga Harbour, by Bowentown and then was tracked to the eastern BOP by the East Cape where she resided for some weeks in a very refined area, likely feeding on spawning schools of fish. Now in a matter of days she has returned to the Tauranga Harbour this time through the southern channel beside the Mt. She is presumably learning the extent of her home range which at present is determined by prey availability of fish and rays, before she matures into a sun adult and may eventually migrate south to seal colonies. 
If you want to check out the tracks in detail go to www.sustainableoceansociety.co.nz of which the link is in my bio. 
Pretty incredible movement for this young Great White shark. Please be aware of such movements in your recreation, especially with where you fish or set nets as this is an endangered and protected animal. Please also be aware of where you fish or dispose of fish product to ensure it does not overlap with where people swim, otherwise we can increase the overlap with feeding sharks. 
What is pretty incredible, whether you want to know or not, is that in the height of summer holidays this animal is sharing the waters we play in. Clearly it’s not a JAWs monster but rather an integral part of an ocean ecosystem we play in and feed from. The more we can learn how and when and why each of our species use certain areas, the more we can ensure co-existence in our stunning marine environment.
