This squid — transparent & beautiful — was spotted during the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition, half a mile beneath the surface. It’s been 37 days & 14 hours since our last squid post. We had an inkling that it was time for some Cranchiidae, the family that comprises abt 60 species of glass squid.

I love all my cats, but this one is... A little special. She came from a family I used to work with when the dad forgot to spay the outdoor cat. She's the smallest of the three, and the youngest (the other two are twins), and finally coming around to prolonged cuddles. Happy Birthday Nobi Rose 🩵

I'm so used to photos where octopuses are blending in perfectly that I sometimes forget cuttlefish can do it too.

The Snailcerers' Journey
These are Cuban land snails (Blaesospira echinus infernalis), and they actually [mostly] look like that. *Please* go look them up. You will not regret it.

This was supposed to say "S-tier animal names" but it still works.
Squid and shrimp are S-tier animals. We really knocked it out of the park with those ones.

We told our life-size giant squid friend that the museum's whale is a nice, safe, baleen whale, so I think they are just about ready to join the exhibit
Sneak preview for Marvelous Mollusks, scheduled to open at the Museum of the Earth on 5/30.

Before my trip to Anilao earlier this year, seeing an argonaut was pretty high on my bucket list. And on my second blackwater dive... voila! This is a female (the males are tiny).
Argonauta sp., maybe A. hians but I really have no idea.

A white door stands before you with a sign on it “welcome back to Earth”
Another sign hangs near a lever “do not pull, kills all humans”
You pull it
“I saw that” says a voice
“Oh. Does that mean I can’t go back?” You ask
“Nah” it says “that’s just there so we know who to send back as cats”
