Dolphins in Australia have been bringing gifts of coral to shore as a way of interacting with visitors. This #dolphin has formed a habit of bringing visitors gifts from the bottom of the ocean just proves how well they have learned to co-exist with us.

Nova Scotia will be the official home base to the first whale sanctuary in North America, with whales expected in the water just off the coast of Port Hilford. The whales will have free reign throughout that area, which will be highly beneficial to their quality of life.

The oldest intact shipwreck has been discovered at the bottom of the Black Sea. The 23 meters vessel, thought to be ancient Greek, was discovered with its mast, rudders and rowing benches all present and correct just over a mile below the surface. It's more than 2400 years old.

When Flying Fish are in danger, they propel themselves underwater to over 35 miles per hour by wiggling their tails and holding their fins close to their torpedo shaped bodies. #FunFacts #flyingfish

When you look through the water from above, the seafloor looks rippled and distorted. But NASA developed the so called a #fluid lens, that can penetrate the ocean's surface and see the subsurface in more detail. The lenses use an algorithm to reverse the warping of the water.

The spiny lobsters can create a sound that might, under the right conditions, be detectable up to 3 kilometers, nearly 2 miles, away. The density of seawater allows sounds to travel over greater distances than air, still the larger the lobster the louder it is. #FunFactFriday

Octopuses are amazing. They are extremely curious beings and often find themselves in troublesome situations like this Giant Pacific Octopus that travels through a narrow tidal pool in Oregon.

This is how whales sleep. It's called logging. This is a group of probably three generations of older females and their young. Dolphins and some seals, for example, sleep with only half their brain active at a time, while the other half of the brain is alert. Photo: Franco Banfi

There is nothing as elegant as a Bryde's whale and its 25 tons lunge feeding and rushing to the surface of the ocean. Lunge feeding could be regarded as a kind of inverted suction feeding, during which a whale takes a huge gulp of water, which is then filtered through the baleen.

The Jumbo Flying Squid has a reputation for attacking divers. These predators are usually native to the warm waters off the coast of Mexico and South America, but for the last decade have migrated northward and that increased the number of diving incidents involving squids.

Did you know that sea turtles can hold their breath for five hours underwater? To accomplish this mighty feat they slow their heart rate to up to nine minutes in between heartbeats in order to conserve oxygen. When they surface, they usually seek out a relaxing spot in the ocean.

There are plenty of companies working with solar, wind and hydro-electric power generation. But none had succeeded in trying to use one highly prevalent renewable source of energy–the ocean’s waves. Eco Wave Power will install its tech on coastlines where waves swell over a meter

This #Dumbo Octopus was spotted 7,000m down in the Java Trench - almost 2km deeper than any previous reliable recording. This observation proves that octopuses can find potentially suitable habitat across at least 99% of the global seafloor.

Jellyfish respond to the changes in their environment around them using signals from a nerve net just below their epidermis - the outer layer of skin - that is sensitive to touch, so they don’t need a brain to process complex thoughts yet survived for 650 million years.

This is not an UFO or an alien life form. It's just a deep sea jellyfish called Halitrephes maasi of the family Halicreatidae. The most recent account of the jelly has been found at a depth of 4,000-5,000 feet near the Revillagigedo Archipelago off Baja California.

There is almost nothing about a whale's body that we can relate to. They breathe air as we do. They give birth to live young as we do. But the similarities seem to stop there. Their scale, body structure, and environment are all different. A reminder that nature is too beautiful.

An excellent video showing how #octopus uses camouflage in the wild. They are among the species that can adapt a lot of environmental changes really fast. Not only they can adjust their color, but Octopuses can use their muscles to make their skin look smooth or bumpy!
