Zachary Gutierrez+FollowSharks Are Diving Deeper Than Ever?!Great white sharks are taking deep-sea adventures into the twilight zone—way deeper than where they usually hunt. Scientists are totally stumped about why these apex predators are making dives over 1,000 meters down, sometimes not even for food! Could there be a hidden ocean buffet or something else going on? The deep sea might be way more important to sharks (and us) than we ever thought. Ocean mysteries just keep getting wilder! #Science #SharkMystery #DeepSea361Share
James Brady+Follow14 Ocean Creatures Straight Outta Sci-FiEver seen a fish with a see-through head or a shark that looks like it time-traveled from the dinosaur era? The deep sea is packed with creatures so wild, they make aliens look basic. From the frilled shark’s 3.5-year pregnancy to the blobfish’s Jell-O vibes, these 15 bizarre ocean dwellers are proof we know nothing about what’s lurking below. My fave? The vampire squid—doesn’t suck blood, but it does shoot glowing slime. Nature is seriously next-level weird! #DeepSea #WeirdNature #OceanCreatures #Science172Share
Michelle York+FollowAncient ‘Dinosaur Fish’ Spotted Alive!Imagine thinking a fish went extinct with the dinosaurs, only for it to pop up in Indonesia—caught on camera for the first time ever! A coelacanth, aka the ‘living fossil,’ was just photographed 475 feet underwater by a marine biologist who had to master some seriously risky diving. This is a huge win for science and conservation, but the exact spot is staying secret to protect these rare creatures. Nature really does keep the wildest secrets! #LivingFossil #Coelacanth #WildDiscovery #DeepSea #Conservation #Science41623Share
Michelle York+FollowDeep Sea ‘Cannibal Fish’ Hits Oregon Beach!You won’t believe what just washed up on an Oregon beach—a freaky, fang-toothed ‘cannibal fish’ straight out of the deep sea! This lancetfish usually lurks 6,000 feet down, but somehow ended up on shore, leaving marine experts totally stunned. The pics are wild: think giant eyes, razor teeth, and a stomach full of whole squid and fish. Apparently, these guys even eat each other! Would you dare touch it? #WeirdNature #DeepSea #OregonCoast #Lancetfish #WildFinds #Science120Share
martinezlaura+FollowDeep-Sea Fish Share a Wild Survival HackTurns out, deep-sea fish—like the ones chilling nearly 25,000 feet down—have all evolved the same gene mutation to survive insane pressure. Scientists found that these fish, from ancient survivors to new arrivals, independently picked up a tweak in their DNA (the rtf1 gene) that helps them handle the crushing depths. Even crazier? These fish are still getting hit by human pollution, with toxic chemicals showing up in their bodies, even in the ocean’s most remote trenches. Nature is wild—and so are we, apparently. #DeepSea #ScienceNews #Evolution #OceanLife #Pollution #Science10Share
James Brady+FollowHidden Ocean World Uncovered!An iceberg the size of Chicago broke off Antarctica, and scientists jumped at the chance to explore the newly exposed seafloor. What they found? A thriving, untouched ecosystem with giant sea spiders, octopi, and ancient sea creatures that may have been living there for centuries! The craziest part: these creatures survive without the usual nutrients from above—scientists think ocean currents are their secret. Just wild to think about what’s still hidden on our planet! #OceanDiscovery #Antarctica #ScienceNews #ClimateChange #DeepSea #Science130Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowAntarctica’s See-Through Squid Spotted!An iceberg breaking off Antarctica just led to a wild deep-sea discovery: scientists caught the first-ever footage of the glacial glass squid! This little see-through squid has only ever been seen as whale food or fishing bycatch—until now. Even cooler, the team also filmed a baby colossal squid (yes, the giant one). Turns out, the Southern Ocean is full of bizarre, mysterious creatures we’ve barely glimpsed. Imagine what else is hiding under the ice! #OceanMysteries #DeepSea #Antarctica #ScienceNews #SquidDiscovery #Science200Share
