When I was little I used to live next to Lake Macquarie in Newcastle Australia and I would spend so much time on boats because my baby sitters were fishermen and I would go out at night and we would catch squid or blue swimmer crabs, my parents had a speed boat and we would go fishing during the day or catch prawns with the net at night.

One day my dad caught a massive octopus and while we were on a small island he threw it on my back and it literally covered my whole back and it was still alive, it was a very undignified moment for both of us but I still remember it to this day even though I was 4 and traumatised by the situation we had a connection literally and I cried when my dad bashed its head in with a rock.

still to this day I think octopusses are the most beautiful, graceful, shy, gentle, kind, curious creatures not to mention talented with its abilities. I remember going to the aquarium when I was 8 and I really wanted to see the giant pacific octopus but he was hiding in his enclosure and I stood there for ages waiting to see him and he didn’t come out.

So yeh my favourite sea animals are all the cephalopods and then dolphins come in as a second.

No cool story to go with it but I like seahorses! They're so wittle and cute!
I’ve been looking for a dead seahorse on the beach because I want to bleach it to get rid of the smell then gold leaf it and wear it as a necklace, or earrings would be cool

That would be kickass! I wanna see it if you ever do it!

TURTLES! 🐢

Dolphins! 🐬

Blue Whales! 🐳

Sea horses

I don't remember the other one 🤔
Yeh blue whales are pretty cool but their baleen freaks me out and so do their eyes, it’s pretty creepy

Belugas are so freaking cute and beautiful and so are sting rays, I went through a sting ray phase they remind me of dogs for some reason I think it’s their eyes and that they’re greedy guts when it comes to food

Japanese puffer fish. Adorable, creative, intelligent and toxic. 💀

Reminds me of myself.
Yes I’ve seen the sand ripples they create on the ocean bed and they look so cute making them 💖
I find it sweet how patient they are creating them, now that’s a fish looking looking for a mate!

Kiaora..

Wanted to be a marine biologist as a kid..obsessed with dolphins..still think they the most beautiful creatures.
Bula..

Yeh I just finished watching YouTube videos on dolphins which is why I made this thread, I swam with them in the wild where I live, they’re always around the marina or the jetty in summer. We have a marine park attraction here and I’m against it because they’re exploiting the dolphins for profit and the facility isn’t big enough not to mention they swim in salt chlorinated water and there’s no corals, rocks, sand or live fish for them to interact with. Pretty upsetting and they’re the most intelligent animal next to us
