Sea star wasting syndrome killed billions of stars, including sunflower stars. Thanks to a cohort of scientists, a cause of the syndrome is now identified. Each day, new science is emerging that will help us in our efforts to restore the population!

Learn more about the syndrome and why these creatures are essential for the ocean we love.

For a sea star, this animal is a voracious predator.

Today's animal is....

The Ringed Seal!

Following the Caspian seal, the Ringed Seal is also on the smaller side, being between 100 to 175 cm. It's the most abundant seal in the northern hemisphere, and it's found all over the artic ocean and as far down south as north japan in the pacific. They are named after the light colored rings on their backs. They kind of look like the ocean's reflection, don't they?

PUP TAX! All artic seal pups look so similar when they are newborn, don't they? This second one is already displaying it's patterns though! adorable.

Today's fun fact is that they have claws with which they make breathing holes in the ice! They are an inch thick, and can claw through ice sheets up to 6ft! However they are the only kind of artic seal that makes them, so they end up being pushed away from their breathing holes by seals and whales :')

Pyjama sharks get their name from their stripy pyjama-like appearance that breaks up their outline among kelp and shadows.

[venndaai]

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

[fluorescentbrains]

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

This spectacular squid is the robust clubhook squid, Onykia robusta, one of the largest species of squid in the ocean. This juvenile measured about 60 centimeters (two feet) long, but adults can grow to over three meters (almost 10 feet). 🦑💫⁠ ⁠ Large body size has many benefits, including protection from predators. But growing big is a challenge, particularly for squid. By virtue of their molluscan heritage, squids possess a set of traits—including high energy demand, energetically costly locomotion, and low blood-oxygen-carrying capacity—that presumably restrict most species to smaller adult body sizes. But clearly, there are exceptions.⁠ ⁠ The deep sea remains one of Earth’s least explored habitats, and extraordinary animals like the robust clubhook squid remind us how much there is still to discover. Questions about how and why some deep-sea species grow to such impressive sizes continue to inspire research, fueling new discoveries about life in the ocean’s depths.⁠
