Hey octopus, what are you doing with those eggs? Those belong to a different cephalopod! 🐙📷KJ (inaturalist.ca/observations...)

The utter tragedy of making a stock and realizing when it should be done that you forgot to put in bay leaves.

Today on the podcast, the first video of a colossal squid in its natural habitat, filmed nearly 2,000 feet deep in the South Atlantic Ocean. Plus, the top science news of the week. Listen here 🎧: pod.link/73329284/epi...

This week, scientists released the first video of a colossal squid in its natural habitat, filmed nearly 2,000 feet deep in the South Atlantic Ocean. Dr. Kat Bolstad, who helped identify the squid, joins us to talk about the sighting.

It’s exciting to see so many engage with this story and this beautiful #colossalsquid 🦑

So much depends upon perspective 😂 Before the quoted photo and commentary from @cephalopodsdaily.bsky.social, I'd always thought of this cuttlefish gesture as a rude one! 🦑

My heart melts when I see photos of cuttlefish doing this. I ❤️ you too, cuttlefish. 🦑📷Tim Cameron (inaturalist.ca/observations...)

Saw how excited @theoctopuslady.bsky.social got at receiving fanart a few weeks ago, and couldn't help but think that she deserved to feel excited like that again. Proportions ended up a bit lanky, but wanted to see if I could interpret her as a #Splatoon Octoling!

SOMEONE DREW FAN ART OF ME!! (And I love those boots, I would totally rock those!)

A colossal squid has been captured on camera for the first time in the deep sea by an international team of researchers steering a remotely operated submersible.

I got to teach the first and second graders at the North Beach @sfpubliclibrary.bsky.social how to draw an octopus! They all did great!

What's the best text message you've ever received? Does it beat this one? 🦑 Watch the moment our Principal Investigator, Dr Michelle Taylor, announced the first-ever sighting of a live juvenile #ColossalSquid to the rest of the expedition team. 👇

Has anyone else caught on to this?

Which cephalopod are you sitting next to? 🦑🐙🐡🧪

I love it when octopuses cosplay as other mollusks.

I think this one is Chiroteuthis. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 399 #MarineLife #EdgeGBR

An attempt was made? I don’t know how successful I was at making it look like the squid. Transparent is hard! #SciArt 🐡

So some extraordinary news came out today! We have received footage for the first time of a colossal squid in it's natural habitat! I remember watching the footage live and being in chat saying "Could this be Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni"? And glad to hear it was!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzPo...

They have made the first ever live observation of a colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni), albeit a small juvenile. Amazing! @autsquidsquad.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzPo...

#ColossalSquid has been filmed in its natural habitat for the first time! Filmed in #Antarctica by @schmidtocean.bsky.social, we just had a press conference to share the news. @autsquidsquad.bsky.social provides the voiceover and context for the video. youtu.be/lzPoG9H8Hlo @pure-ocean.bsky.social

Absolutely thrilling. Beautiful animal, beautiful footage. Exquisite pun at 1:02 I've spent a...normal amount of time with pictures of colossal squid clubs, and I felt such a rush of joy to recognize the shape on the baby. (Baby photo cropped from Schmidt; adult cropped from Blue Planet Archive.)

This month marks 5 years of the Coral City Camera, our ongoing live stream of Miami’s underwater world! To celebrate this milestone, have a listen to an @npr.org segment with Colin: www.npr.org/2025/04/14/n... Thank You to everyone who has watched, chatted, and shown support over the years!

OH WOW! A baby COLOSSAL SQUID! Mesonychoteuthis! #molluscmonday #teuthisTuesday!

Finally we have some in situ footage of this guy. It would have been awesome to see an adult, but at least this juvenile makes it really clear that they are a cranchiid.

🦑 This baby is COLOSSAL! 🦑 First confirmed live observation of the colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, in its natural habitat. Filmed at about 600m near the South Sandwich Islands during the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition. youtu.be/lzPoG9H8Hlo

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

From the deep blue to Bluesky — we're excited to be here!
