Sea creatures


The sea is a wonderful place for life : oh yes all the fish of the ocean, with their pointed face and blazing scales!
But, until a few months ago, I did not know that sea slugs existed. And they are amazing creatures! Look at this one who has a 'tridented' rhinopore! Not only its colors are gorgeous but it does look like a magic carpet
.


There are Brittle stars in Antarctica's waters : they can live up to a century!
Isn't it beautiful?

What unknown marvels are hiding inside that living home that is water?

    Marvels, marvels everywhere! Our whole Universe is filled with marvels. I love those tridents!

    Do you know the Nikon small world photography awards? These are things we cannot see with our naked eyes.... and so so beautiful!

    Never heard about those awards.
    That link doesn't work, but messing around that site, I think I found the pics.
    Just amazing and wondrous!
    Now when I look at some Vitamine A stuff, I will think of that pic...
    Eyes in fingertips, eyes with microscopes too.
    Marvels, oh yes! Thanks for the link.
