So much sexier than a Prius is the Hybrid Coral, in my opinion anyway. Like any good romance novel, the story takes place under the light of a full moon. Add the ocean salt spray and a bit of sand in unwanted places and this is a story for the lovers. The threatened...
Another story today courtesy of NPR featuring two of my favoritest things! Beer and the Ocean (seaweed specifically). I'm inclined to say "eeeewwww", but I'm not one to shy away from trying new things, so I'm leaving this as "undecided" until I get my paws on some to...
It may seem like a pretty niche market, but with all the Steampunk trends rapidly gaining popularity over the past few years, one could imagine this would end up being pretty sought-after. In this fine, betentacled collection, OctopusME! marries the natural textures...
On the last trip of the season, a whale watching tour on Atlantic Canadian waters was treated to the thrill of a lifetime when a male orca swam directly up to their boat. Grand Manan’s Sea Watch Tours guide Durlan Ingersoll hasn’t layer eyes on the magnificent creatures in 16 years, so he was pleasantly surprised to see the 1.5-meter dorsal fin in the Bay of Fundy.…
UK based Cambridge University has come out with some pretty cool new research as of late, pointing at the fact that certain fishes might but forming deadly little alliances against their prey. A trout native to the Pacific and Indian oceans, a piscivorous one at that,...
So how do you know how old an octopus is? Well, chop off one of its arms and count the rings! I kid, that's no way to age a live cephalopod - though it's actually not too far off from ageing Giant Squid, "Evidence from statoliths (a small mineralized mass that helps...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGuhcNB5xPc This studly little algae octopus (Abdopus aculeatus) was on the prowl for a hot date when he stumbled upon a female's den. He reaches out a hopeful arm and cops a heavily suctioned feel, hormones raging and amped to make his...
Apologies to anyone with sinus issues, but facts are facts. Anywho, very much like that little tidbit of a fact, this is hardly news, but thanks to Ret Tablot, I've got Bangaiis on the brain and figured I'd merge that into an ongoing theme of fishy breeding habits, so...
I was originally planning on hitting the Museum of Natural History tomorrow since, GASP! I'm a born and bred New Yorker and have never been (shameful, I know), but then I saw this incredible underwater art museum located in the Red Sea. Ok, realistically I'm still...
Holanthias fuscipinnis has been long regarded as a Holy Grail Fish, but this super-flamboyant juvenile appears to top anything we've seen so far from this species. In an almost fantastical "can't possibly be real" photographic capture, we're left with mouths agape and...
