Your Monday motivation is this determined giant spined star that climbed up three stories to the top of the Kelp Forest exhibit. Respect. ️👊⭐
Thank you to staffer Kat McHenry for the snap!
A friendly reminder that the latest Splatfest kicks off this Friday, 11/17, at 9PM PT!
Will Pearl and Team Sci-Fi hack the planet, or will Marina and Team Fantasy cast the One Squid Ring into Mount Flume?
Whatever you do, make sure to have fun and fight fair-y!
The Monterey Bay is doing its best impression of our sea nettle exhibit! This year has seen a return of the classic sea nettles blooms we experience outside of El Niño cycles. These sea nettles were filmed inside the Monterey harbor a few weeks ago, pushed in by the tides and currents.
Reblogging because sea nettles are back in the bay and also it’s Jellyfish Day!
Pearl and Marina are putting the Boo in Boo-yah! And someone tell Lil’ Judd to stop staring at us like that! Have a Splatty Halloween tomorrow squid kids!
The moon is full, the wind is blowing… a spooky Splatfest is almost here! Will Team Vampire say “Fangs” for the win, or will Team Werewolf claw their way to the top?
Get your splat on Friday, October 13th at 9pm PT!
The striped pyjama squid may seem shy and sleepy, but beware to all passing shrimp! These nocturnal hunters bury themselves in the sand with only their eyes peeking out, waiting for something tasty to stroll by.
