Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! We are proud to announce that in collaboration with our brilliant volunteers, we are releasing a fascinating series of spooky informational graphics focused on Creatures of the Deep. 

Goblin sharks (Mitsukurina owstoni) are one of the strangest and fiercest-looking animals in the sea. They live at the bottom of the ocean, and have adapted captivating attributes to live in some of the Earth's harshest conditions. Despite their grayish appearance in the famous photos, they are actually pink, and at their peak can grow over twice the length of the human male! They can reach a staggering 15 feet and over 460 pounds—the size of an adult gorilla!


Due to the rarity of seeing goblin sharks, there is so much more to learn about these fascinating creatures. On their long snouts are special organs called ampullae of lorenzini that, similar to the electric eel, help them sense and detect electric fields around them. Finally, its jaw can actually be extended to the length of its snout to help surprise prey, ensnaring them before they can even react. Imagine being the first scientist or sailor to pull this fellow out of the sea!

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! We are proud to announce that in collaboration with our brilliant volunteers, we are releasing a fascinating series of spooky informational graphics focused on Creatures of the Deep. Today’s graphic focuses on the mortifying Frilled Shark!

The Frilled Shark looks straight out of a Lovecraft story! With razor-sharp teeth, dark eyes, and a snake-like appearance, the Frilled Shark is rather menacing. The Frilled Shark, (Chlamydoselachus anguineus), is actually one of the most ancient species of sharks in existence. This species is at least eighty million years old. It is part of a group of special animals called “living fossils,” which means their anatomy, & general characteristics have changed very little from when they first appeared. 

The Frilled Shark can grow up to six and a half feet, taller than the average human male! The “frilled” name comes from their rippled skin, not their frightening teeth. These amazing creatures feed on squid, using their sharp teeth to viciously grab onto prey and to stick to them like glue. Lastly, like snakes, they can eat prey that are bigger than themselves!

What other amazing living fossils are out there in the oceans that we have not encountered yet?

An octopus has three hearts pumping blue, copper-based blood. Two of those hearts stop beating every time it swims — which is why octopuses mostly crawl instead: swimming exhausts them. #science #marinebiology
