Rather than swim, Epaulette sharks often “walk” by using their pectoral fins as a pair of rudimentary legs.

Blue Whales 2016 – An Appreciation Post

Blue sightings may have been unusually scarce in southern California this summer, but the encounters we did have were nothing short of spectacular!

These massive cetaceans are truly incredible. Seeing them in-person is an experience that one will never forget.

i’m so in love with this. i can’t even. ah. my favourite feeling in the world is putting your head beneath the water and entering an entirely different place, so peaceful, so quiet. what i miss more than anything when i’m living away from the ocean is being able to duck under and leave all my worries on the surface.

This is extraordinary

not only that, but they say only about 5% of ocean depths have been observed. And around 70% of Earth is covered by water. I just think that’s mind-blowing.
