Hammerhead Silhouette, Galápagos
In the Galápagos Islands, hammerhead sharks are often encountered by divers in significant numbers due to the nutrient-rich waters. A single scalloped hammerhead was observed moving effortlessly through a school of fish, illustrating the species' critical conservation status while also highlighting the strength of ocean currents in this unique ecosystem.https://scubahanknyc.com/2026/08/09/hammerhead-silhouette-galapagos/

This tiny, blue #octopus is new to science
Nearly 1,800m beneath surface of #Pacific, an ROV was creeping along slope of a #Galápagos seamount when its camera caught a tiny, dark blue octopus perched in sediment — an animal no human had seen before.
Researchers have named species Microeledone galapagensis. Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, it is also fully grown — a combination that may help it reproduce faster than larger relatives.
