Antarctic strawberry feather star (Promachocrinus fragarius), Alien-Like Antarctic Feather Star With 20 Legs Joins Four New-To-Science Species

sharks are just like giant kitties tbh. they’re just curious silly little creatures. they’re just interested in what’s around them. they bite you the same way a cute little kitty bites you. they’re just trying to get to know you. why do you hate them so so much they think you’re interesting and they’re cute. leave them alone

Is it known what baby coelacanths look like??

Yes! An expedition filmed one in Manado Bay, North Sulawesi, Indonesia in 2009!

"It was measured by a laser beam from the R.O.V. to be 31.5cm. The fish was positioning itself in a small cave."

" The Pacific Sea Nettle is known for its red-brown bell, long, spiraling arms, and thin tentacles. The bell can grow to a maximum of nearly 30 inches in diameter while the trailing arms can reach 12 to 15 feet in length! "

The Sea Creature of the Day is the Basking Shark!!!

honestly these guys... ive seen so many people say that they're afraid of them and that's completely understandable but they're just the silliest lil guys to me and i love them so much. they only feed on much smaller creatures and are entirely harmless to humans- in fact, they've been known to circle around boats but entirely avoid divers! i've always liked to imagine that they just like saying hi 🥰

even though they're massive and slightly scary looking, these guys have never been documented to directly hurt a human and are just friendly lil guys who want to eat all of the plankton they can find, and i love that for them 💜
