Video by @paulnicklen // The Cuban locals call him Tito. I call him big, curious and slightly intimidating; especially at night when he approached @andy_mann and I out of the mangroves. He seemed to be attracted to my video lights which were naturally attached to my camera which was six inches in front of my face. I would not trade moments like this for anything. #follow me on @paulnicklen as we are #turningthetide. In Cuba we are celebrating Jardines De La Reina National Marine Park and—through our visual storytelling—we will share with the world what an ocean looks like when you protect it. #nature #mpa #naturelovers #embraceyourfear #ignoreyourgutinsinct #gratitude
