Rachel Sussman, The Oldest Living Things in the World, 2004-present.
Since 2004 artist Rachel Sussman has been researching, working with biologists, and traveling all over the world to photograph continuously living organisms 2,000 years old and older. The work spans disciplines, continents, and millennia: it’s part art and part science, has an innate environmentalism, and is driven by existential inquiry. She begins at ‘year zero,’ and looks back from there, photographing the past in the present. Together, her portraits capture the living history of our planet – and what we stand to lose in the future.

Shiver our timbers, more otter science news!
A new study co-authored by our own Dr. Mike Murray shows that when it comes to staying warm, sea otters put some muscle into it!
Researchers found that in addition to having dense fur and enormous appetites, sea otters’ muscles “leak'' enough metabolic heat to keep the mighty mustelids warm no matter how icy the water gets. Get the fuzzy here!
Bathynomus giganteus or Giant Isopod
Isopods are closely related to crabs and shrimp. There are around 20 different species of giant isopods, and they’re a great example of deep-sea gigantism. This is when animals that live in the deep sea are much larger than their relatives that live in more shallow areas. Marine Isopods in general range from less than 1mm (0.04 in) to the size of this Isopod which is 365mm (14.37 in).

angel sharks are a critically endangered species of shark. their flat bodies and ray-like wings are excellent for camouflage and blending into the seafloor. this is an uncommon feature in sharks.
there are roughly 22 species and they live in warm temperate and tropical oceans.
