Today I will only post/reblog Sperm Whale pictures. Because no one can stop me.
This one was captured by Vilmos Vincze / cc
Horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus), on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay at Fort Monroe National Monument, Hampton, Virginia.
Etymology note: What a puzzle! Polyphemus was the name of a Cyclops with a bit part in the Odyssey. The name translates many voiced, and might literally mean often spoken of, hence famous. It seems an odd choice, to name a creature with ten eyes after a creature with only one.Â
“Giant unidentified sea creature” is nearly always a fucked up whale
Or even just a non-fucked up beaked whale.
