MALDIVES Relaxing Music Along With Beautiful Nature For Reading Book
Maldives in full Republic of Maldives also called Maldive Islands, independent island country in the north-central Indian Ocean. It consists of a chain of about 1,200 small coral islands and sandbanks (some 200 of which are inhabited), grouped in clusters, or atolls.The islands that make up the Maldives are characterized by beautiful blue oceans and amazing white sandy beaches. There are over 2,000 species of fish found in the waters surrounding the islands. There are manta rays, stingrays, and eagle rays as well as many kinds of anemones and jellyfish.Due to the small size of the island nation, there are very few land-based mammals and reptiles (and no domestic dogs). There is only one species of flying fox and one shrew species that are endemic to the islands and there is only one gecko species as well as some snakes. Most of the mammals and reptiles found in the Maldives are in the water. Whales and dolphins are common; so too are sea turtles like the green turtle, the hawksbill turtle, and the leatherback turtle. There are also various sea snakes and even saltwater crocodiles. Much like mammals and reptiles, the most common birds in the Maldives are pelagic or ocean birds
