Harbor seal playtime in our Great Tide Pool! Staff and volunteers were greeted the other day by these two curious critters running laps on an apparent inspection of our outdoor fa-seal-ities.

Humpback calves ‘whisper’ to avoid being heard by killer whales. Listen here

The Okeanos Explorer has discovered a very cute octopus at a depth of 4,290 metres.

This is the deepest an octopus of this particular sub order of octopus has ever been seen.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration noted this is a completely unsubscribed species and perhaps not belonging to any specific genus. Highlighting how little we still know about the creatures in the depths of our oceans.
