This is a photo of a frogfish that's using her tail to carry around her eggs AND LOOK AT HER BABIES. THEY LEGITIMATELY LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE GOOGLY EYES. These fish are so ridiculous I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. 📷: David Harasti daveharasti.com inaturalist.org/photos/13...

God I love lung fish. Look at her. Munchin' away. Not a care in the world. She doesn't have to do taxes. She's just gotta eat her little food tablets. That's all.

Is that really a purple #seaotter skull 💀💜🤯?! Why, yes it is. This phenomenon is known as echinochrome staining. It occurs when sea otters consume copious amounts of echinochrome-containing prey items like #seaurchins. 📸: Peter Monteforte & Morro Bay State Parks #funfact

Fun fact: this is a nudibranch. Melibe viridis, to be more precise.

Oh my goodness. What. What in the world. What in the world is this magnificent creature? Is it some type of flounder? Never have my eyes beheld such a specimen of perfection.

By watching this video of a juvenile blue shark swimming, you accept the risk of adorable overload. I am not responsible for those of you who can’t handle the cute. Watch at your own risk.

What a lil lemon pancake. Also, I love when fish get excited about food.

This is what a metamorphosing starfish larva looks like. Brachiolaria (1.5 mm in length) from Skagerrak, North Sea.
