 Kuwait, 2022.
This photo was taken at the remote oil rigs site in Kuwaiti waters, east of Qaruh Island. The inactive oil rigs have come to represent an important artificial reef in Kuwait, attracting divers and fishers alike.

*Update: this is not a real octopus but a spy bot for research. In a BBC vid(here), the spy bot helps an octopus to protect itself from sharks.

I'm obsessed with the Feathered Star. It's the closest thing to a biblically acurate angel and it absolutely fucks. Live your best life you Lovecraftian monstrosity.

spinner sharks!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
spinner sharks are sharks which live in many subtropical waters, such as the mediterranean and the gulf of mexico!
these sharks get their name from the way they spin out of the water to catch prey
they prefer shallower offshore waters no more than 350 feet deep!
spinner sharks grow from 6–10 feet in length
they grow roughly 2 inches a year until maturity, for 10-20 years!
spinner sharks can leap up to 20 feet in the air :]
