Scientists expecting silence at the bottom of the ocean got a notable surprise.

Researchers dropped a hydrophone into the Mariana Trench. Instead of eerie stillness, the recordings captured a symphony of clearly discernable sounds, including earthquakes, passing ships, and even the distant calls of baleen whales.

The most dramatic audio came from a Category 4 typhoon raging above, proving that even miles below the surface, the ocean is anything but quiet. This unexpected discovery challenges the assumption that the deep sea is a tranquil refuge, revealing a bustling underwater world filled with both natural and human-made noise.

The experiment, conducted by NOAA and Oregon State University, required a specially designed hydrophone to withstand the immense pressure of Challenger Deep, the trench’s deepest point at 36,000 feet — and the deepest part of the Ocean.

When it was finally lowered, NOAA says, the ceramic hydrophone had to enter the depths at a relatively slow pace — 5 meters per second — to prevent it from imploding.

What a beautiful token of love and appreciation from this amazing organization, .of.the.paw on this holiday. The folks over there are the real deal, only taking in those pets that would otherwise be put down. Obviously it’s a tougher job finding forever homes for these animals, so the animals they foster tend to be in their care much longer than others would be, and that means they need a little more help than the average shelter. I know we all spent a lot of money already this holiday season, but if you got anything left in your pockets and are still in the mood for giving, I can’t personally think of a better place to help out.
Happy Holidays everybody!
Thank you!

Very late Halloween post.
Built this tank YEARS ago. Client recently passed away and willed it to an associate. Moved it to his place and it’s been growing and thriving ever since. Got to spend Halloween with this wonderful friend of mine and see the progress in his tank in person. The spooky decorations were also a nice touch. He and his amazing wife run a unique animal rescue, specializing in unwanted pets with severe disabilities. Please give them a follow, and if you can, maybe make a donation to their cause. You might just earn your wings for it. ( .of.the.paw ) ❤️🐾❤️

What-chu know ‘bout Rock Flower anemones??? BIG stock in now at !
They are certainly beautiful! But also, they can be ☠️ DEADLY ☠️!!! Though it may take some time, maybe even a REALLY long time, but at some point, your Rock Flower anemone is going to make a meal of one of your fish. Weigh the value of the beauty over the risk and decide for yourself. I have a beautiful one with a gold center and mint green tips in my tank at home. The risk is worth it to me.
I just hope it doesn’t eat one of my more expensive fish. 😬

WOW! ‘Raahe Wanha Herra’ or ‘The old gentleman of Raahe’ is believed to be the oldest surviving diving suit in existence, dating back to the 1700s, from Finland. It was made from stitched calfskin. The diving suit was made waterproof by sealing it with a mixture of pork fat, tar and pitch. The hood-shaped head is reinforced from the inside with a wooden framework. In the upper part of the hood is an opening for a wooden air pipe. Crazy!

The creature is back. Will James Wan's 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' actually happen? Here's hoping, plus why the original is still so perfect.
