“Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much … the wheel, New York, wars and so on … while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man … for precisely the same reason.” by Laura Storm

He’s huge….

That’s Deep Blue, they think she’s the biggest white shark ever filmed

Of course it’s a girl. She’s beautiful and I’ll keep my hands inside the cage at all times

I…I love her.

My daughter is beautiful and strong.

her dorsal fin is longer than a full grown adult but I in all my 5’2" glory still wants to protect her

I am, I believe, the reasonable amount of scared of sharks that a smart soft mammal should be, but I definitely just said “whos a big pretty girl” at the screen.

Thank you, tumblr, for reminding me that things I’m afraid of are beautiful too.

So I got curious and look this giant up and found this picture of the diver high fiving her as she passed.  According to the article, not only is Deep Blue big but in the picture she’s super pregnant too.

Near run-in between Common Dolphin and Pacific White-sides.
The White-sides were now riding for a few minutes prior- the Commons approaches but it almost seemed like the White-sides chased them away and then came back to bowride.

It’s always interesting to see how different species interact with each other.

A small Japanese puffer fish is the creator of one of the most spectacular animal-made structures. To impress the female puffer fish, the male labors 24 hours a day for a week to create a pattern in the sand. If the female finds his work satisfactory, she allows him to fertilize her eggs. She then lays them in the middle of the circle, leaving the male to guard the eggs alone.
