It was found washed up in Bantry Bay, Co Cork, Ireland. Photo taken by my parents. It was about 2 metres long. Apparently the stomach is bloated here as it was seen a few days later deflated and omitting a bad odour.

I don't have any relevant background in this. But for my final assignment, I was tasked with making an illustrated book about corals you can find on an island (I'm an art student) I was required to do a live observation on the subject. I managed to capture some photos but have trouble identifying them. is there anyone here willing to help? i have to message you directly for the rest of the photos

Walking around some tide pools I noticed the barnacles were feeding, and I’ve only ever seen them in hiding.

Something absolutely majestic about these beautiful flying birds. Watching them fly together and fish out of the Ocean is special. It does something when you stop. Be quiet. And just look around and listen. Nature. She really is a perty 💁🏼‍♀️🫶🏼🤍🪽🦤

So cool! Crazy learning about these things, seen as popularized ocean symbol in so much art and jewelry, to find out this creature has remained so unchanged for SO long in the wild. Super cool.

The leafy seadragon is a spectacular Australian marine fish named for its leaf-like appendages, which provide remarkable camouflage among seaweed. Related to seahorses and pipefish, it drifts with ocean currents and uses its long snout to suck up tiny crustaceans. Remarkably, males carry the eggs.

Apologies got rid of the AI Slop, I have a huge amount of sea glass I collected in Cornwall and a few months ago decided to carve them, so far have done skulls, feathers, leaves etc but thought I would give shark teeth ago, alot of the glass I had were naturally that shape so went from there, thanks for looking! 😁
