It’s not mentioned here, but I remember seeing a TV programme documenting credible Great White shark sightings in UK waters. Even as far North as Scotland. With some of the biggest seal populations in the world, and water temperatures well within their limit, some scientists wonder why Great Whites aren’t here!

"Hi, na? Umarmung?" *winkt mit jeweils 8 Armen *
Die beiden Juwelenkraken sind gerade im Original im #wandklex Shop auf https://www.wandklex.art/product/kraken-illustration-handgemalt-gerahmt-in-18x18cmrahmen-576148 gelandet.
Manchmal brauchts mindestens acht Arme um alles getentakelt zu bekommen.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), our sister org, built a new imaging system to study deep sea octopus
I now find myself considering whether I want to draw, carve, and print #sherlockHolmes as a gaunt #pacificOctopus, or maybe some other deep sea creature...
There's a live stream of the ocean floor going on in the coast of my country, and I can't stop watching all the beautiful creatures that are showing. I saved some pictures to draw them later
Here's the stream if you want to see it!

"Can This #OpenAccess Publishing #Platform Attract Researchers’ Attention?"

"So far, #Octopus has seen limited user engagement. But with its thoughtful design and ethical approach, the platform makes a strong case for itself."
Octopuses don’t just squeeze through holes—they see through illusions.
In a new study, these brainy blobs were fooled by a rubber optical illusion, just like humans are. That’s not dinner. That’s sentience.
Still fancy that calamari?
