But nowadays, that dream isn’t so far-fetched. A Subwing allows you to fly…underwater. The cool aquatic invention is towed behind a boat and allows the rider to control where they go with a […]
Whales are some of the most majestic and often gentle creatures in the ocean. That’s why going on a tour to spot them can be such an amazing experience. However, if you get too close to them, things can get pretty harrowing…and fast. Take what happened to these kayakers in British Columbia, Canada. googletag.cmd.push(function() { […]
There’s no evidence to suggest that pilot whales are more aggressive than other whales, but judging by this encounter, researchers might want to revisit that topic. This snorkeler was swimming with a pod of pilot whales off the coast of Hawaii when they suddenly started behaving aggressively. They shoved her a little bit at first, […]

On April 15, 2015, researchers from E/V Nautilus sent a robot named Hercules down into the depths of the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Louisiana. They were exploring the biology, geology, and archeology of the ocean, and when they reached a depth of 1,962 feet, they suddenly encountered something magnificent — a sperm […]
This video shows just how incredibly intelligent killer whales can be. After this whale became tired of eating fish every day, he decided to see if he couldn’t get some tasty bird on the menu, too. The clever killer whale was seen throwing a fish to some hungry birds and waiting for a prey to […]
Whales are majestic, mysterious creatures that populate the Earth’s seas and oceans. Most people know that whales are the largest mammals on earth (with the blue whale quite possibly being the largest animal on earth). It’s also commonly known that they sing to each other, they nurse their young with milk and they are insulated with thick layers […]
If you’ve ever had a pet fish, you’ve also had a dead pet fish. Whether they’re the gold fish you win at a carnival or the betas you buy at a pet store, they don’t tend to be known for their long lives. When you see these sleepy sperm whales, you might be reminded of that […]
