How Do Fish Swim In The Dark? Ever wondered how fish navigate the dark, deep ocean without crashing into things? It’s all thanks to a special feature called the lateral line. This line runs along both sides of their bodies and works like a natural sonar, detecting their surroundings. Some fish, and even dolphins, have developed this ability far beyond what any human technology can do. It’s a fascinating example of evolution at its best.

Natural History - Over 100 new alien-like species discovered in Chile's underwater mountain range - An international team of scientists discovered more than 100 previously unknown species of marine life near towering seamounts off the coast of Chile. The expedition, led by the Schmidt Ocean Institute, explored the Salas y Gómez Ridge at depths of almost 15,000 feet, mapping over 20,000 square miles of seamounts. The findings, including deep-sea corals, sponges, sea urchins, amphipods, and squat lobsters, are believed to be new to science. #newspecies #chile #underwater #underwaterexploration #oceanography #biology #marinelife #seamounts #schmidtoceaninstitute #deepseacorals #sponges #seaurchins #amphipods #squatlobsters

Yesterday, I watched this fascinating YouTube video about whale-falls. A whale-fall is the event of a dead whale sinking to the bottom of the ocean after having exploded. Sounds a bit creepy, but I found it fascinating because it shows the different stages of life (yes life!) that follow this event. Such an event can even bring forth new species! This is one of the many reasons why these giants are so important for our world and need to be protected. I also explain these reasons in more detail in this article: https://lnkd.in/gUGwwAeK https://lnkd.in/eV5ire2g #whales #sustainableLiving #oceanconservation #oceanscience #science #scienceommunication #marinebiology
