Okayyyyyy you asked for lots of hard to draw stuff and I made a lot of nightmare fuel from those requests. In the end, we have 3 deep sea creatures that would prefer that we collectively do NOT destroy their homes via deep sea mining. Try recycling maybe, they say.

Reminder: 95% of those "funny animal" or "animal every hour" accounts are explicitly for the purpose of getting as many followers as possible, then wiping the account and selling it to someone who wants a prebuilt account for spam or scam purposes. Block them on sight. (Not @catsofyore.bsky.social!)

speaking (much earlier) of working in commercial fishing & how brutal the work is, this is a good article about the unsurprising increase in toxic drug deaths in that industry, similar to that in construction & other physical trades

blob octopus while not flattering is a much better name than seven arm octopus seeing as how they do not have seven arms

in a lot of cases like this the true range of the species is probably underestimated and it's precisely the absence of scientific surveying in these areas that leads to this phenomenon. there was a paper a couple years ago that documented areas of the ocean that were statistically undersurveyed

the gonatus observation was an interesting one because it was wayyyy further south than their documented range.

new video from schmidt ocean that provides probably one of the best overviews i've seen of deep sea ROV exploration. the deep sea is not alien. it's just an environment different from ours, inhabited by organisms that have adapted accordingly. they are the majority, not us. πŸ¦‘πŸ§ͺ
