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!

Record warm seas help to bring extraordinary new species to UK waters https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c05enyryqvmo

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?"
https://katinamagazine.org/content/article/resource-reviews/2025/open-access-publishing-platform-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?

Ok, sea slugs may not be for everyone. However, it's just scientific fact that the #octopus (in this case a tiny Octopus rubescens) is universally loved. This shy boi pictured with an emotional support leaf in hand(s). #underwaterphotography Spotted at around 40m yesterday in Hood Canal, Washington, US.

O is for… #Octopus

The Dumbo Octopus has big head fins & is named for the famous elephant.
