RE: Amazing Animals #27 The Flamboyant Cuttlefish
I'm a 3rd year marine science major. It's never too late to pursue that career!
The spirula also has an internal shell to control buoyancy as well. I think they're the only two (discovered) alive today.
Oh that's cool, do you have any specific interests within the subject? I've always imagined working with Sharks (at a safe distance) would be a cool and fulfilling job.
That's very true! It's a thought that enters my mind occassionaly, though I love the work I'm involved in right now so it will likely remain just a thought. :)
Oh that's right, gonna have a read up on them! There could be many more out there, it's difficult to actually grasp just how vast our Oceans are.
I like marine geology and the physics side of marine science so far (like physical oceanography). I plan on becoming a marine engineer so I think it's a good thing I enjoy those.
This instagram is run by my marine biology professor and some of his graduate students. Might be worth checking out if you like sharks.
You can still find crews to go out with and get a taste of that marine biologist life.
