Rare beluga whale spotted off Dutch coast in January likely found dead in Zeeland A decomposed whale-like carcass that washed ashore Friday in Kamperland, Zeeland, and an earlier report of a dead beluga on Banjaardstrand both point to what experts believe is the same rare beluga whale that was seen multiple times along the Dutch and Belgian coasts earlier this year.

Tidepool with shells in it among other stuff. Shell in middle has two holes with a hermit crab sticking out of each one. The top crab is all black while the bottom one has orange legs and blue eyes.

Have not seen this before. It's apparently a hermit crab duplex! There are crabs in openings at either end of the odd-shaped shell. Although the upper one doesn't look so good... 🦀

A tiny bubble snail in a shallow rockpool. Two tiny eye spots face upwards amidst a wealth of speckles and spots and sparkles that look like distant stars. The lower half of the image contains swatches of its earthy colour palette.

Low key, earthy colour palette, but when you look close, this species of bubble snail (Haloa) is speckled and spotted and looks like it is full of distant stars ✨

Or maybe this is the one? This one we sent to Mike to confirm Haliphron and he said b/c of the pose it is most likely holding a meal. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 575 part #GalapagosVents #MarineLife

More from Indonesia - Napoleon Snake Eels (Ophichthus bonaparti) are such a treat to see peeking out of the sand. It's kind of crazy to think that this little face can be attached to over 75 cm (30 in) of body.

I thought this was the observation you were thinking of, but Haliphron doesn't have the fins on the mantle, correct? From @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 395 #edgegbr #MarineLife

100 Days of Reef Fish Ugly Fish 9/10: watercolor painting of a Painted Frogfish, Antennarius pictus. Some frogfish, especially juveniles, are ugly in a cute way. But the individual in the reference photo for this painting? Not so much. Painted frogfish can have small, warty bumps and/or scabby patches and/or eye-like spots that mimic the texture of sponges. This guy had all of those plus a very unappealing color scheme.

I had the incredible privilege to see four baby sawfish in the Everglades.

These are the only elasmobranchs fully protected under the Endangered Species Act, despite the loss of over half the world’s shark and ray abundance in the past 50 years.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! In collaboration with our Social Media Volunteers, we designed a series of 13 informational graphics on the subject of Dolphins! Dolphins are a group of cetaceans belonging to the families Delphinidae, Platanistidae, Iniidae, Pontoporiidae, & Lipotidae families. Dolphins are known for their intelligence, playfulness, agility, & streamlined physiques. Today’s card discusses the fascinating Spinner Dolphin (Stenella longirostris). “The Spinner Dolphin is a small, fast, and extremely agile dolphin species found in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world. Its scientific name, Stenella longirostris, means “long-beaked dolphin,” which describes its slender snout and streamlined body built for speed and acrobatics. Spinner dolphins are best known for their spectacular spinning leaps out of the water. They can rotate several times in the air during a single jump, which is how they got their name. Scientists believe these spins may help remove parasites, communicate with other dolphins, or simply be a form of social play. These dolphins are highly social animals and usually live in large groups called pods, sometimes containing dozens or even hundreds of individuals. Within these pods they communicate through clicks, whistles, and body movements, allowing them to coordinate group behavior and maintain strong social bonds. Spinner dolphins have a unique daily routine. During the night, they travel offshore to hunt for food. Their diet mainly includes small fish, shrimp, and squid that migrate closer to the ocean surface in the dark. During the daytime, spinner dolphins often return to shallow coastal waters to rest and socialize, especially in calm bays or lagoons. Physically, spinner dolphins are slender and relatively small, usually growing 1.3–2.3 meters (4–7.5 feet) long and weighing 23–79 kilograms. Their bodies are typically gray with a lighter belly, and some populations have distinct three-tone coloring on their sides.“
