My favorite moose fact is the cryptid herd in New Zealand. We know they’re out there, but nobody has seen one in over half a century.
In New Zealand.
Hi I’m sorry. I usually don’t insist that people elaborate on their comments but-
What the everloving fuck are you talking about???
In 1910, a herd of 6 females and 4 males was released in Fiordland. The last confirmed sighting was in 1952, and it was considered marginal territory for them, so it was presumed they had died out.
Until some moose hair was found in 2002.
This lead to extensive searches and installation of automatic cameras - none of which have caught an actual moose, though bedding and rub sites have been found.
The current theory as I understand it is that they’re living off of rich seaweed beds in the area.

It’s been a while since we checked in on how the Renaissance is doing with its ocean mysteries, so here is a marine biology update circa 1550.
Seals come in two forms:
Buff

& Triangular

Walruses are horrifying

But whales are worse


Fish can have human faces

but not always where you’d expect

As for the rest






… it’s probably better left alone.

Can you imagine thinking animals actually looked like this? Like I know there’s stylization here, but if I was an uneducated peasant in 1550 who saw these I might be religious too.
HUGGERS… meet the Shy Shark! THIS IS A THING! THIS IS REALLY A THING….!
450 millions years of evolution and ‘if i can’t see it, it can’t hurt me’ is the best they could come up with! WAY too adorable!
You know, there are so many other jawsome sharks out there - shark week shouldn’t just focus on the white shark. I love a good breach as much as the next shark lover, but these guys are too cute! <3

No. Look at the position of the tail fins. They’re perpendicular rather than parallel to the ground. That’s a sky shark.

Ok so the most amazing reblog I've seen of this says:
There's a globe-spanning layer of mesopelagic fish that is so dense it distorts SONAR. For decades we had no idea what created the Deep Scattering Layer or why it moved. We still know almost nothing about it.
It contains 65% of all fish biomass.
Marine Ecology has Dark Fish.
And:
FYSA: 65% is a low-end estimate. Dark Fish may comprise 95% of all fish biomass, but we just don't know: https://phys.org/news/2014-03-ninety-five-cent-world-fish-mesopelagic.html
