These are two videos of precious lil iridescent bobtail squids burying themselves in the sand. The diminutive (~3″ max) squids don’t even look real, they look like animals from a Pixar movie. But they allegedly are real, although with all this AI running amok, you have to wonder. I’m skeptical

This is a video of pastry chef and chocolatier Amaury Guichon (previously) making an incredibly intricate — and delicate — nautilus sculpture entirely from chocolate. Wow! The process is pretty fascinating, and includes layering chocolate on semi-inflated balloons to form semi-spherical shapes. I wonder how much time in total it

Because under the sea is the place to be if you’re freaky deaky, this is a video of photographer and Andrea Humphreys getting hugged and kissed by a giant Pacific octopus while exploring the Campbell River in Vancouver, British Columbia. In her own words, which yes, do involve suckers on

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Sydney has found that octopuses will intentionally throw shells and other seafloor debris at one another, with about 66% of the throwing activity performed by females, and often aimed at males who are harassing them. “Piss off times eight, loser!”

In other rare under the sea news, this is some footage of an elusive box jellyfish (Chirodectes maculatus), a species that has only been recorded once previously. Now I know what you’re thinking, and I 100% agree — it looks like somebody doodled all over it with a Sharpie. And

This is a video documenting the rarely heard sounds of a mangrove whipray and cowtail stingray in the wild. I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t know stingrays even made sounds. They’re sort of clicks. I wonder what they’re saying. Because at least in my mind they’re apologizing for

This is a video captured by an unmanned submersible operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Exploration team featuring a whiplash squid swimming in ‘marine snow’ at a depth of around 1,100 meters (3,609-feet, about 7/10ths of a mile). It’s not actually snow though, it’s delicious, nutritious

Because Mother Nature is a real firecracker, this is a video of a sea turtle thwarting a tiger shark’s efforts to make it into a meal by constantly turning and barrel rolling to make sure whenever the tiger shark attacks it’s presented with the full length of its unbiteable shell.
