I LOVE the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute! They do so many interesting things, from animal research to ROVs and AUVs (remotely operated vehicle; autonomous underwater vehicle – both topics for another day) But a gift tonight, esp on a Friday night of a busy week, is a video from them of a number of clips of squids in the depths doing what they do best – fluidly moving through their environment. Enjoy the video!

The Post – Octopus Ballet
January 8, 2011After the intensity of the last post, here’s something relaxing, beautiful, and meditative….an underwater ballet: The Cirrate octopus undulates through the dark depths of the Taney Seamounts, west of San Francisco. This gem comes to us through Boingboing, and was shot by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). Click here for the article and video, and enjoy. 🙂
