We’re snailposting, post your snails. This particular snail with its long tail caused a stir in the snail community on iNat a few years ago. Family Proserpinellidae Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve, Ecuador

We’re snailposting, post your snails. This one was found on a jungle floor in Borneo #snail #macro

We’re snailposting, post your snails! I've never photographed one, sadly, but here's a drawing I made of an emerald snail. 🐌

ok yes those are definitely skeleton panda sea squirts

One of my favorite marine snails on the Georgia coast, the knobbed whelk (Busycon carica), a bivalve-killing predator that lives in sandy shallow-marine environments, but is occasionally seen buried (by its burrowing) in intertidal zones. 🧪🌊🐌

It's truly amazing how a deep sea squid looks EXACTLY like a strawberry. Not just a vague resemblance, its got the right shape, colour and it even has the "seeds." They were even described by S. Stillman Berry! What's more, we're the only ones that know that they resemble each other. 🍓🦑📷MBARI

I thought I saw this guy on my way to go see Weezer, but looking back at the photo it was a different shirtless Toronto man in a Santa hat

After seeing such an elaborate, multilayered scam, this kind of stuff just seems lazy, smh my head

Ok i need help from the animal scientist hivemind. Squid octopuses and cuttlefish ink. Sea Hares ink. I vaguely remember some weird mammal that also could ink, but i can't for the life of me remember who. Can anyone help me?

Steam phishing scams are so elaborate these days. I got targeted by one involving a Discord group call with multiple people talking, a live Twitch stream with both in the chat and real FACEIT to lend credence to the fake FACEIT phishing link.

For #GarWeek, here is a juvenile gar from southern Green Bay that we encountered this summer. Look that those pectoral fins go! After length measurement, this fish was released on site. #GreatLakes

It's time for your regular reminder that flamboyant cuttlefish eggs (Ascarosepion pfefferi) look like toy capsules.

I share some raw notebook pages from the Okinawa cephalopod conference in this month's OctoPost! (I'd hoped to post more during the conference itself, but the international travel kinda wrecked me and I'm still recovering.) 🦑🐙 buttondown.com/dannastaaf/a...

You’ve all been very good this week, please have a crab.

Maybe I should have included a daily “snuggle Otis like a baby” and “give Otis 5 smooches” (She is screaming and purring. Purring so loud).

When I travel, I leave a detailed animal care sheet that would be approved by scientific animal care facilities. It’s detailed & precise to protect the creatures. On the list is “Tell Otis she’s pretty. Very pretty!!!” Idk if that happened enough because she is REALLY insistent on this point today.

“No look over here. Am normal clam. Or scallop. Whatever.”

I know hiding in shells is their whole thing, but Coconut Octopuses (Amphioctopus marginatus) pretending to be bivalves never gets old. 🥥🐙📷ajhg (inaturalist.ca/observations...)

"Hey! Let me down!" 🦑📷Jonathan Eisen (inaturalist.ca/observations...)

A #Taleof2Canyons & an octopus! 186m, Patagonian red octopus, or Enteroctopus megalocyathus, hovering over a patch of sediment, lighter in color than the surrounding area, the cephalopod opened up like an umbrella to feed, likely on a crustacean. Read more: www.instagram.com/reel/DQnH14c...
