Evolutionary biologists finally admit that high intelligence does not require making friends. A new octopus study completely dismantles the idea that big brains only evolve for social networking, proving that solitary sea creatures get incredibly smart just by navigating complicated neighborhoods.

Huge news! Clean energy is not only cheap, but creates good-paying jobs and is better for the environment. This is what investing in our future looks like!

1/2 This is not farming. This is violence.What you’re seeing here is not an isolated incident, it’s a glimpse into the everyday horror countless animals endure around the world.

Turned out the Epstein files are full of billionaires and trillionaires, not immigrants.

Did you know that Scotland has Coral reefs?! 🌊🪸 Cold-water corals can be found in some areas of Scotland & can form reefs that are thousands of years old! Cold-water Corals are championed by #NatureChampion Siobhian Brown MSP @siobhian.bsky.social & Marine Conservation Society @mcsuk.bsky.social

A major technological breakthrough developed by @whoi.edu can predict mass coral bleaching 5-6 months before it actually occurs. This vital lead time allows marine conservationists and reef managers to enact critical emergency triage. @oceanographicmag.bsky.social

Unlike other organisms, Clytia medusae can repair damage so rapidly you can actually watch small wounds close within minutes. Larger wounds heal in less than an hour, a rate of recovery humans can only dream of. And no scar tissue is formed. 🔗 go.mbl.edu/jellyfish

Marine heatwaves, expanding warm-water species and changing marine habitats highlight a rapidly evolving marine ecosystem. https://www.mba.ac.uk/warming-seas-drive-major-changes-in-south-west-uk-marine-wildlife-report-reveals/

🌊 Marine protected areas are supposed to safeguard our iconic wildlife, yet one porpoise sanctuary was subjected to 30,000+ hrs of apparent bottom trawling last year alone It must end. ✊Act now to protect ocean wildlife: bit.ly/oceanauk 📢 Ban #BottomTrawling in MPAs

With soft bones and translucent skin, snailfish might not seem like the toughest fish on the planet. But at 6,000+ meters deep, these fish thrive under pressure great enough to flatten a tank. 👉Find out how being "squishy" can actually be a survival tactic: go.whoi.edu/squishysurvivor

The #DeepWonders science team filmed this chimaera or ghost shark at 1,027 m. @divaamon.bsky.social and a primarily Trinbagonian team of scientists are leading this expedition in Trinidad & Tobago. (Read #PoetryInOcean version here: www.instagram.com/reel/DalKGJZ...)

The #DeepWonders science team, led by @divaamon.bsky.social, of SpeSeas, is seeing many sea cucumbers, including these rhythmic water dancers that could be Benthothuria sp. They are part of the deep-sea cleanup crew, ingesting decaying detritus and pooping clean sand along the seafloor.

NEAR-MISS CME SPARKS SOUTHERN LIGHTS: CME passed close to Earth today. It did not deliver a direct hit. Instead, ripples in the solar wind from the CME's near miss ignited auroras in the southern hemisphere. Taichi Nakamura sends this picture from NZ spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload...

"A new report has revealed that 90 per cent of utility-scale renewable energy capacity added in 2025 was cheaper than the lowest-cost new fossil fuel alternative, helping to avoid an estimated $480 billion in fossil fuel costs by year’s end."

I’ve received multiple comments across platforms on this article along the lines of “Germans and their gas chambers.” To be clear: this is not a uniquely German practice. This method, despite the extreme suffering it causes, is a standard method used for pig slaughter around the world.

Everything is disposable now—even satellites. Companies profit from launching them, replacing them, and burning them up in our atmosphere, while the environmental consequences become everyone else’s problem. Profits are private. The damage is public. #SpaceX www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

I've tried for a few years to capture a fish as it breaches the water. This little one vaulted itself out fairly far and for once, I was able to get the shot. Anyone know what type of fish this is? This is in the Twin Cities area. #Fish #Wildlife #Nature #Photography #Animals #Photos #Photo #ECK
