This is a video from free-diver, surfer, conservationist and harbor seal enthusiast Michael Boyd, who has befriended a harbor seal named Mowgli, who kindly provides him with complimentary tickles and hair combing.

Because some people are firm believers that only their own personal space should be respected, this is a video of diver and photographer Eric Desmet upsetting an octopus in Cannes, France, to the point the alien tries to snatch his camera away from him. Can’t say I blame it, if

Having previously spotted a red balloon squid, this is a video from the ROV Hercules chancing upon a rarely seen Bathykorus jellyfish, that resembles a facehugger from the Alien franchise. This is only the second time the jellyfish has been caught on film, the first being in 2015. That’s cool,
