•Marine Biology appreciation post•

[cityoftrees]

I am not a biologist by any means but have always been fascinated by the ocean since I was super young. Just to think only 10 percent of the ocean has been explored and all the creatures and animals we have seen and not seen. Anyone else wonder what is out there? Few of my favorites

Giant manta ray
Colossal squid
Sunfish
Moray eel
Whale shark

I used to want to be a marine biologist when I was a kid. Think I got the idea from watching free willy. I definitely appreciate oceanic life. of course my favorite animal would be the orca. I was fortunate enough to have seen a pod in the wild when I took a trip up to the Pacific Northwest. One of the best days of my life.

I was obsessed with learning about zoology as a kid, marine animals included.

I got exposed to scuba diving a few years back and kind of fell in love with it. Got PADI certified and everything.

Got a lil slice of the ocean at home too. Just picked up this Mandarin Dragonet on Monday.

Orcas fire. I actually live in PNW.

the ocean is incredibly beautiful and so interesting to say the least.

I feel the opposite. I am scared of the waters. No idea what’s going on in there

I'm both terrified and fascinated by the large bodies of water.

I've always been into sharks and weird sea creatures:

Man that’s my favorite part of the US. I’m trying to live in Seattle for a year once I’m finished with school and stuff. Love it up there

I definitely understand that. When you’re out on the ocean and see how vast it is, it’s a lot to take in. And it’s even more overwhelming when you hear researchers saying they’ve only explored approximately 10% of it all

But it’s something about it that’s just incredibly fascinating to me. I plan on going swimming with sharks down in Jupiter Florida for my birthday.

Getting my scuba diving license is on the bucket list for sure

Had a friend who worked for the aquarium on-call. She'd have to go and rescue beached whales, injured penguins, etc.

Said one day they got a call from a random woman who said she rescued a seal and when they asked her what she did with it she said "it's on my couch."

That is funny and shocking! Can’t believe some people out there

I went whale watching back in ‘05 for a college class and it was cool seeing them in action. Haven’t been on a boat since though.

Cardi and Megan come out with a song called W.A.P and a few days later we have a thread about da ocean in all its wet glory. Not-a-coincidence!!

JP I appreciate the ocean. Still waiting on us to find Atlantis.

Killer whales are dicks. Hard to feel sorry for Willy when his fam killing baby seals and flinging them around in the air for fun before eating them.

Meanwhile those seals eat penguins, while those penguins eat fish. It’s the circle of life fam

Fish

Can you be more specific?

That can’t be true. I saw Harry and the Hendersons....he chucked the fish sandwich and went for the burgers.

Living in Florida has it’s perks

Was out fishing with my cousin one day. He’s sitting on the dock. A HUGEEEEE manatee swam by. That thing was enormous. Had to be 10-15 feet. It was LARGE

Mf'er he's not living off the land or anything like that, he probably eats as much salmon as the rest of us on either coasts.
