This is a video from some adventure-seekers in Tonga diving with a couple humpback whales, who just narrowly miss a whale’s tail flip. I don’t know, maybe don’t get so close to them. They don’t come to where you live and fill your house with plastic, do they? While certainly

This is a video from a Maine lobsterman (a man who catches lobsters, not Lobsterman the superhero) of an ultra-rare ‘cotton candy’ colored lobster. Buttered cotton candy? Gross!

Mother Nature: she’s wild. I could go into detail but she threatened me with murder hornets the last time I told one of her secrets. Enter this absolutely stunning footage of a female blanket octopus. You can tell it’s a female due to the species’ incredible sexual dimorphism, with females
