Unlike its octopus and squid relatives, the chambered nautilus lives inside a shell! 🐚 Chambers in this spiraled shell allow the nautilus to pump air in and out, creating propulsions that let it accelerate backwards and turn around. Learn more about these curious cephalopods: #NautilusNight

#DIDYOUKNOW: One of the smallest kinds of octopus is also one of the most venomous? While blue-ringed octopuses are toxic enough to kill humans with their bite, they have never known to be aggressive towards people. Learn more: #CephalopodAwarenessWeek

WATCH: This dugong loves to eat! It’s no wonder dugongs are sometimes called "sea cows” — they are slow-moving, herbivorous mammals that spend their days grazing vegetation like seagrass. Learn more about dugongs with our Marine Life Encyclopedia:

#DIDYOUKNOW: Parrotfish are the ocean’s very own gardeners! 🪸 These vibrant fish play a vital role in keeping coral reefs healthy by grazing on algae and dead corals that can overgrow if left unchecked. Learn more about fish that support our oceans:

#DIDYOUKNOW: Mobula rays have wing-like fins that allow them to launch out of the water, earning them the nickname “flying rays!” It’s uncertain why they jump, but it may be to rid themselves of parasites, evade predators, communicate, corral food, or even just for fun.

WATCH: Peacock mantis shrimp have one of the fastest strikes in the animal kingdom! 🦐 Learn more about these quick-hitting crustaceans:

WATCH: Humpback whales feeding as a group. 🐋 These whales can sometimes be observed using a technique called “bubble-netting” where they herd schools of fish together, trapping them in a “net” of bubbles. They then swim upward with their mouths open wide to feed!

#NationalWildlifeDay: A rich world is one that is abundant with wildlife. 💙 Oceana works to protect our oceans &amp; restore them to their former abundance because without the WILD, there is no LIFE. Join us in protecting our blue planet. 👉

King penguin colonies can be huge! These groups can be made up of up to 39,000 breeding pairs. In the noisy environment of colonies, king penguins depend on specialized calls to find their chicks. Learn more:

No, that’s not a ghost haunting the deep — it’s a rhinochimaera!👻🦈 Also called a ghost shark or spookfish, it is believed that the long snout of this eerie deep-sea dweller may help increase sensory input to further gain information about its environment.

#FUNFACT: The more siblings a hatching sea turtle has, the less effort each must expend digging out of their sandy nest, giving them more energy to reach the sea faster together! 💙 This #NationalReptileAwarenessDay, learn more:

#DIDYOUKNOW: Kelp forests reach heights of 175 feet and are home to thousands of species. And that's not all — kelp and other marine algae can capture and store carbon dioxide, making these ecosystems vital to the fight against climate change. #InternationalDayofForests 🌿 ✨

#BREAKING: The Metals Company applied to start the world’s first-ever commercial deep-sea mining operation. The targeted region in the eastern Pacific is home to thousands of species, including some discovered this year. Stop this before it can begin:

Alaskan waters are one of the least-explored areas in the U.S. But where researchers have gone, they’ve found unique ecosystems like this fragile deep-sea octopus nursery. Defend the deep by telling the U.S. government NO to ocean mining off Alaska:

This week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that will delay necessary protections for North Atlantic right whales, but the fight doesn’t end here. With only around 380 of these gentle giants remaining, the U.S. Senate must stop this bill:

#DIDYOUKNOW: Kelp forests reach heights of 175 feet and are home to thousands of species. And that's not all — kelp and other marine algae can capture and store carbon dioxide, making these ecosystems vital to the fight against climate change. 🌿 ✨

Watch as this octopus moves from rock pool to rock pool! With strong senses and a high level of intelligence, some octopuses are able to remember landmarks, navigate their surroundings, and use objects as tools. Learn more about these clever cephalopods:

Nudibranchs are some of the ocean’s tiniest—and most flamboyant—residents! 🌈 Oceana spotted this stunning sea slug during an expedition to Panaon Island, Philippines. Earlier this year, a Marine Protected Area was established here to help safeguard these coral-rich waters! 🌊

#DIDYOUKNOW: Cleaner wrasses swim in strange patterns to attract larger fish to their “cleaning station." Once a fish has been drawn in, the wrasse will feed on parasitic copepods and other small invertebrates that live in and around the larger fish’s mouth and gills.

WATCH: These puffins know how to stick a landing! Learn about these seabirds with our Marine Life Encyclopedia:

The ocean regulates our climate, nourishes hundreds of millions of people around the world, and produces about half of the oxygen on Earth. 🌊 ✨ So, when you take a deep breath this #NationalRelaxationDay, be sure to thank the ocean. 💙
