The Deep Sea (scrolling website)

This isn't completely new, but it was new to me and I found it quite interesting (it even has an avian tie-in with a surprisingly deep-diving species).

Scroll down the deep sea in this interactive page.

(the CPU on my Windows 11 PC with the latest version of Chrome hits >90%, so don't be surprised if you observe similar -- it's a heavy inefficient site)

I got a kick out of there being a shark called 'gummy shark'.

Great perspective on sea life. I have only dived to 120 meters -barely scratching the surface.

So fun! I just sent it to my nieces & nephews.

You've got me beat by about 117 meters

Here's a couple photos from when I was in charge of some of the deep sea isopods you find at 2100m. They had to be kept in near-freezing water, excreted slime that would cover the tank, and just all around seemed like terrifying aliens

Very cool; I love scrolling lol. "Headless Chicken Fish are sea cucumbers with wing-like fins that allow them to swim." <--- that's just a beautiful sentence. Also crazy to see how deep elephant seals dive.

I found the Titanic!
