This is a juvenile ribbonfish 🌊
These deep-sea creatures live hundreds of meters down and use those long, delicate filaments to drift through the currents.
While they look tiny and transparent now, they can grow several meters long. Seeing one near the surface is incredibly rare, as they usually spend their lives in the dark, vertical and still to save energy.
Huge shoutout to the incredible oceanographer @secosub , go check out his work! He provides a reminder of how truly amazing the ocean is 👏
in Japan, Miharashi Hill literally turns blue between Mid April to early May with 5 million Nemophila flowers covering the hills. The Earth feels a little more magic and a little less solid ground.
If you know who’s beautiful work this is, please let us know and we’ll credit right away 🌼🌿✨
