I like to take the scenic route to my office (past the kelp forest)

Adrianna Tan Jan 14

The back deck when there’s no one there is really cool

Adrianna Tan Jan 22

I don’t know if you know how big this tank is

You can also se inside here https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals/live-cams/kelp-forest-cam

The round blob in the top center is a southern sea otter frolicking by herself

Lunch with a view

Seen around the office.

1. Sunfish costume (!!)
2. Penguin plushie

Pacific sardines at the roundabout

I sea you

Same window, a few seconds apart

The world feels weird. I’m just going to work by a window

I love that this penguin waddled over to ‘chat’

I need to not buy all the things at the store

Honk.

I think I am floundering (but actually it’s a mola mola)

A coworker was waving at me from inside the shark tank.

I went to see my friend. He’s the bass.

Black sea nettles

My evening commute (I waited till closing time and for all guests to leave, then I went to hang out at the open sea exhibit by myself)

I saw this on a coworker’s desk (she works with the birds)

Room with a view

Let me kelp you

I have puffins at my workplace

I didn’t realize I loved sea nettles and jellyfish so much

Shark

Ray of hope

Sardines

Do the black sea nettles know they’re beautiful

Debut of Opal, our one year old otter that was named by the Internet

I adore puffins

Reflections in the tank

Moon jellies

I like these little puffin bellies and feet

Sent my wife this (the joke is, I am kind of face blind and I can’t find her especially at airports)

Low light photo of a hammerhead shark

The California sheepshead can change gender. It also sleeps in a cocoon made of mucus, for protection.

I feel like I’m going to spend the wrasse of my life being jealous of it. (It is actually a wrasse)

I’m in a conference room. I looked out of a window (because lots of people were). Someone says ‘they get all my seals of approval’

#Seals #Pinnepeds

Adrianna Tan May 16

You can’t tell, but this guy is swimming, burping and yelling and probably farting all at the same time. Impressive work.

Adrianna Tan May 16

I just love hanging out with them. Honestly I’d rather listen to sea lions barking than some politicians. Or internet sea lions

Lunch time walk

Sculpin and sea stars

“A tube anemone has a built in escape route. A tube anemone can disappear into its home in the blink of an eye. Its tube can be two feet long and serves as a quick escape route and an anchor in the constantly shifting sand.“

Cool, but can anemone hear me?

No matter how busy I am, I always make it a point to spend a lot of time walking through the main aquarium when I am here

Hi my name is Blenny. And I leap

Puffin belly

Snakehead eelpout and Japanese porcupine crab

Sploooosh

It’s always nice in the morning before we open. Onsite folks are pottering about feeding animals and doing prep for setup, while I just sit here and think (then work on other things later)

Puffin found a thing, it’s very proud

@skinnylatte you can see where they found the lines for the mattes in Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home!

@skinnylatte those little feets

Dane Deasy Jun 25

@skinnylatte it must be calming

schrotthaufen Jun 25

@skinnylatte I wouldn’t get any work done. Ever.

Dave Alvarado Jun 25

@skinnylatte I really want to see that aquarium. My wife says I need to see SF if we head to the bay area. I'm not sure how to convince her that I don't care about cities, I want to see fish, obnoxiously wealthy people, and the wine country.

rednikki Jun 25

@skinnylatte Best time is January when you will have it to yourself!

@skinnylatte when do they elect their pope?

Asta [AMP]May 31

@skinnylatte huh, I guess they only wear red fins when choosing a new pope?

D. G. Marshall May 30

Sounds like a great name for a band.

@skinnylatte I'm extremely jealous! Thank you for sharing!

@skinnylatte How do you know I can't tell? Maybe I can tell!

My camera shoots fascists May 16

I've seen seals flopped in the sand like this before and every time I think they're dead at first. Nope, just super chillin'.

Megan Lynch (she/her)May 16

Well is he your bass or your friend??

@noondlyt the bass friend I’ve ever had

Thank Cod for them.

@skinnylatte How low can he go?

@skinnylatte it’s all about the bass.

@skinnylatte Bad Adrianna, no biscuit!

Adrianna Tan Mar 12

@GeePawHill it’s actually wearable. I might get in it.

M.S. Bellows, Jr.Mar 12

@skinnylatte @GeePawHill I mean, you are hilarious, but actually I think that's a sunfish.

M.S. Bellows, Jr.Mar 12

@skinnylatte @GeePawHill Fuck. I just marinebiosplained. But I LOVE marine science!

Adrianna Tan Mar 12

@msbellows @GeePawHill edited, and I knew but I couldn’t make a verb with mola mola

GeePawHill Mar 12

@skinnylatte @msbellows Oh! Neo-figure. "Sorry, I'm all mola mola here."

M.S. Bellows, Jr.Mar 12

@GeePawHill @skinnylatte Yeah, I would totally pretend it means something cool in another language. Sort of the same way my best friend came back from Hawaii in high school and convinced everyone that "mahalo" was a swear word.

Julia Mar 12

@skinnylatte they’re one of my current obsessions 💘

binchicken Mar 12

@skinnylatte i assumed it was a supremely whimsical art piece. now i know it's a costume i am overjoyed that such a thing exists

Adrianna Tan Mar 12

@thegarbagebird oh yeah i work at an aquarium and we wear this in our podcasts or to pride

binchicken Mar 12

@skinnylatte you have so much self-control. if i had daily access to that i would be banned from using it within a week

Irene Zhang Mar 12

@skinnylatte I’ve seen the one at the Monterey aquarium!! It’s so cool and huge!

Callum Mcleod Mar 12

@skinnylatte reminds me of the one hanging in my home towns museum https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/otago-museum%E2%80%99s-display-sunfish-just-got-even-more-intriguing

Otago Museum's sunfish even more intriguing

If you want to learn a strange secret, take a closer look at the big ocean sunfish specimen on display in the ground floor foyer of the Otago...

@douglasvb yepppp

@skinnylatte @douglasvb Pacifica Taco Bell has entered the conversation…

@Starorstone @douglasvb i would eat the taco bell. i would not eat at el torito haha

Douglas Jan 28

@skinnylatte @Starorstone I really want to go to the Pacifica Taco Bell in an unironic way 😅

@douglasvb @Starorstone it’s a long bike ride some of my friends do. Ride from sf to the Pacifica Taco Bell. Have a crunch wrap. In the scheme of awful food, they know what they’re selling, and it’s good awful food
