This incredible oak ship’s figurehead is Germanic. Dating to the early C5th AD, you can just imagine these looming out of the sea mists as the first Germanic warriors, who went on to become the Anglo-Saxons, arrived on English shores after the Romans departed. Amazing find. 🏛️📷

Minoan vases with octopuses are always a delight, but relatively common. This rare vase shows a different type of marine animal: an argonaut. It's an octopus-like animal that lives on the seabed in a shell. The Minoans were masters of depicting aquatic creatures. 🕰️c1500 BC 🏛️📷Heraklion Museum

Brilliant beacons upon the sea, lighthouses steer sailors away from danger. Guiding them through the dark and cold nights. Though I wonder if perhaps something else follows the beacon. #art #digitalart #lighthouse #lighthouseart #seamonster #seamonsterart

"Point Prim Lighthouse." Some structures do more than stand. They keep watch, they endure, they protect. #PointPrim #FineArtPrint #PEI #LighthouseArt #PrinceEdwardIsland #blueskyphoto #minimal #newtopographics

This is wild: the authors find evidence for giant, macro-predatory octopuses in Late Cretaceous oceans that might max out at *62 feet long,* comfortably large enough to attack, kill and eat mosasaurs

A Glass Octopus you say? Indeed so. They occupy deep waters and are rarely seen, but even in shallow waters they're hard to see. And they like sex. Males have a particular arm that will actually detach to get the job done. That's what you call determination!

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.
