#1 squid fan

The big-eye jellyhead (Inopinoteuthis magna) is thought to be largest species of cirrate octopus, with one specimen having a total length of 1.7 m, and mantle length of 33 cm.

I personally love it when they do their "person wearing a hoop skirt impression"

The new Pokémon Legends game drops in a couple weeks so naturally I’m thinking about the best video to come out of the last one.

The 2025 experience

two cuttlefish hover over a reef where the female has laid eggs with tiny little baby cuttlefish in them. It's the month of December

This fall, @megstampede.bsky.social & I are collaborating to create a 2026 calendar!

Each month features a different animal, facts about them, & actions we can take to help them!

Sales will fund our '26 Native 🌱 Project

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

This shit makes me so mad because people don't understand how much power we have over these companies and the only thing we need to do is not give them money. The only thing we need to do is to not do anything. It's the easiest shit!

*wearily* collective action does work, it really does

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

oh the tumblr auto-flagging bot was EXTREMELY fucking terrible lmao

A colorful illustrated poster of 19 different species of invertebrates and fish found in the intertidal zone. They include sea stars, snails, hermit crabs, a sea hare, Nudibranchs, urchins, a chiton, a fluffy sculpin, a limpet, a crab, octopus, a mussel, and sea cucumber. They are illustrated on a dark teal background, with a numbered key identifying the species.

WHOA HUGE

The complex mating rituals of #squid. Pale blue by day, the females turned dark red, while others put on their zebra-stripes and flashed bold colors with the distinct peacocking of a male showing off.

digital illustration of a coral reef. occupants of the reef include titan trigger fish, cleaner wrasse, butterfly fish, box jellyfish, foxface rabbitfish, moray eel, dusky gregory, clownfish, parrotfish, garden eels, crabs, ray, octopus, and crown of thorns starfish.

coral reefs are one of the most fascinating ecosystems on our planet!! been watching a bunch of documentaries about them, so i had to draw a little snippet of one.

(also a non-square illustration so i hope it posts okay!)

Digital painting of a dnd player character called Iona. They have a face akin to a cuttlefish, in the place of a mouth sit a set of tentacles, six shorter ones and two longer ones, all with a subtle brown stripe pattern. a collection of stiped worm like creatures fall down their face like hair. The stripes come in a variety of colors: brown, beige, green and different shades of red. a Single eye is visible from under the worms, a sad gaze to the right with a heavy shadow under the eye. Iona is wearing a simple cloth shirt tied in the front with a wooden ring. a Simple wave tattoo is visible on their left shoulder.

Iona the unfortunate, my warlock fishfolk player character!

Tiny, colorful baby scallops — a total cuteness overload in one dish!

You might think, “This person posts the same creature every year!” But honestly, seeing the same life return year after year is something truly wonderful𓂃🫧‪

For when you’re in the mood to have a blue-ringed octopus stuck on you🐙

A large orange octopus with white spots and a long thin body wrapped in a semicircle around a large algae covered boulder

How about a more unusual octopus this morning? This is the Hawaii-endemic O. ornatus, the Ornate or Night octopus. Long, slinky, move more like eels than cephalopods sometimes, just a beautiful animal, only to be seen on night dives. 🦑📷🌿🐙

Just woke up from a social media pause and the first thing I see is an incredible footage of a sperm whale casually cruising with a giant squid in its mouth ??

A Miiverse post by user "Mikey TDM" that shows a screenshot of a Super Mario Bros. game with Mario jumping on Toad. Text underneath reads: "Guys look im jumping on Dode hes stupid"

I really miss Miiverse sometimes

i think the hardest part of being a cartoonist is drawing the nervous and circulatory systems, followed by the bones and muscles and then genitalia and each strand of hair on every character. then, it's time to add clothes

If you’ve ever worried whether art matters. It does.

The most famous hunting behaviour for cuttlefish is the Broadclub Cuttlefish's (Ascarosepion latimanus) "passing-stripe" display.

The cuttlefish will extend its arms and create a pattern of downward moving stripes, which confuses prey long enough for the cuttlefish to strike.
