*record needle skip* yep, that’s me. you might be wondering how i wound up in this situation. you see, it all started with a conversation between @SarahMackAttack and myself over a squat lobster i really wanted to be a vampire squid back in 2021…

In 2026, OET and its partners will explore #deepsea habitats in the Central and Western Pacific over five expeditions. Learn more in our blog: bit.ly/4dHyy4T The 2026 E/V Nautilus expeditions are primarily sponsored by @oceanexplorer via the #OECI.

Reminder: Join us Thurs, May 28, at 12 ET for a free webinar about @oceanexplorer's recent eDNA data release. Among these data is evidence of corals, like Paragoria arborea & Iridogorgia magnispiralis, shown here. Find out more & register today: oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/news/from-seaw…

この姿が割とゴマフイカとしてしっくりくるかもしれない。

@paleobyliam yeah guys real goblin sharks look like this

I recently searched "goblin shark" on Instagram and was disgusted by the ubiquity of generative AI slop masquerading as actual footage of living goblin sharks. So here's a thread on how to spot the bullshit (examples below)

@paleobyliam thank you for doing this. i need to do the same for squid, there are some pretty egregious AI magnapinna and colossal squid out there right now

Prey handling efficiency is at a premium in environments that are energy limited. The deepsea habitats qualify. Following suit, some deepsea predators have evolved impressive teeth that improve prey capture and handling efficiency.

Happy Sunday with a variety of deepsea faces wishing you the very best.

『ゴマフイカ』 ・Histioteuthis corona inermis （Taki, 1964） 駿河湾 300m 外套膜5.3cm 中深層に生息するイカの中で自分が一番好きな種です！ 体にある無数の発光器と左右非対称の眼が特徴です。その見た目から、同じ科のカルフォルニアシラタマイカはイチゴイカとも呼ばれます。 #深海魚直送便
