First, I spend way too much time on Tumblr from that post-count.
And second, thank you to all my followers, for not only following me, but for blessing me with the holy mark of:

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration executive director Joe Pica meets the locals during a dive off the Dominican Republic. Pica was retrieving an acoustic buoy when this humpback whale stopped by to say hi. Humpbacks are found all over the world’s oceans — they migrate as many as 16,000 miles (25,000 kilometers) a year.

New Sea Monster Found, Rewrites Evolution?
Cretaceous-era reptile Malawania anachronus discovered in Kurdistan.
The new sea monster (pictured in an illustration) munched on fish in Cretaceous seas.

Family portrait and size comparison. Mommy Sidney T123 (front) with her two kids. Look how tiny T123C (less than a year old) looks compared to his/her older brother Stanley T123A (13 years old)! I’ve seen this family three times already this spring, and on each occasion the calf has been swimming very close to his/her older brother, surfacing with him and even rolling around almost on top of him like a giant whale jungle-gym. It is amazing to watch a 10,000 lb animal bond with his much smaller baby sibling.
