  1. Just wild!

    "While shallow-water sea sponges live 10 to 50 years, deep sea and polar sponges can survive for thousands of years, with estimated age of one polar giant glass sponge ranging from 15,000 to 23,000 years old, making it easily one of the oldest species on earth."

  7. Weighing An Octopus Starts With a Laundry Basket 

    Image: Robin Riggs Just like nurses ask patients to step on the scale at their annual checkup, weight is an important metric in animal healthcare. Measuring some animals’ weight, however, isn’t as straightforward as it is for human patients. The team at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, has devised a great approach for their Giant pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) named Glinda.......Continue reading...

  9. The twilight zone: Every night trillions of tiny creatures rise from the ocean depths.
    During World War Two sonar technicians made an extraordinary discovery. The pings from their echo sounders reflected off what they thought must be the ocean floor. But the sea was much shallower than they had expected and – even more puzzlingly – the seabed seemed to move up and down throughout the day.

  11. Five hundred million years ago, something that wasn't yet an animal became one. Nobody saw it. This week, in a lab in Jena, somebody got as close to watching it as we may ever get. 🧵 twp.ai/4hrZsx

  15. Angler fish take mating for life to a whole new level. The male actually merges with the female. "I've got you babe" starts to mean something very different here! #marinebiology #anglerfish #sexualselection #oceanlife

How many deadly species can be found in its waters? Here are 10 of the deadliest species that can be found on the Great Barrier Reef and how worried you should be about encountering them......Continue reading....

  19. We dive bare-skinned into the blue hydrostatic pressure. Whale frequencies mask the engines. In our shallow breaths, dormant DNA awakens. 🐋🌊🧬 #DeepSea #OceanLife

  20. Sunday afternoon at Cabbage Tree Bay and absolutely loving it. Plenty of giant cuttlefish today and a fiddler ray on the sea grass. Visibility was a little murky but still bright and beautiful under there. #CabbageTreeBay #GiantCuttlefish #FiddlerRay #OceanLife #Snorkeling #MarineLife

  23. When a giant of the sea washes up on the coast, it draws a massive crowd and creates a scene that is hard to forget. 🐋🌊

    These two articles look back at the dramatic moments when a dead whale washed ashore on the beaches of Lagos, showing the chaotic scenes as residents and scavenging crowds rushed to the shoreline. It's a striking look at how local communities react to such a rare and massive occurrence.

  25. Yesterday's dive in #newquay The prawn has a compound eye with visual units (ommatidia) connecting to the optic nerve. Overlying the ommatidia is the cuticle with is modified to act as a cornea and is thickened to form numerous square facets. These eyes have neither distant nor sharp vision but they do detect movement and has a 360 degree coverage. For all that complexity, all I ever see are a couple of tiny disco balls. #prawn #freedive #snorkel #newquay #cornwall #oceanlife
