I like to take the scenic route to my office (past the kelp forest)
The back deck when there’s no one there is really cool

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.

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)

I went to hang out with my friend, Ray

A coworker was waving at me from inside the shark tank.
I went to see my friend. He’s the bass.
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)

Let me kelp you

I have puffins at my workplace

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

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

HI IVY (I misidentified this otter, sorry)

#Otter #Otters #Marine

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

You can’t tell, but this guy is swimming, burping and yelling and probably farting all at the same time. Impressive work.
I just love hanging out with them. Honestly I’d rather listen to sea lions barking than some politicians. Or internet sea lions
@skinnylatte Some politicians? *Most* politicians... 🙄

@skinnylatte I'm so glad this otter got a good name, lmao.
@skinnylatte look at those big flipper feet!
@skinnylatte This looks magical
@boby_biq there’s also cool music when you see it

@boby_biq @skinnylatte I second that "This looks magical". :)

@saadazim @boby_biq a video about the ‘roof of sardines’

Roof Made of Sardines ? What an Architectural Design "World Famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, California

@skinnylatte @boby_biq Oh that is *BEAUTIFUL*! ^_^
@skinnylatte This is probably my favorite exhibit at every aquarium but Monterey does it the best.
@skinnylatte can you go through the aquarium before and after hours when there are no visitors?
@skinnylatte woah this looks like something straight out of Subnautica
@skinnylatte They are beautiful creatures 💙🧡🤍
@skinnylatte I think I have more jellyfish pictures in my phone than I do humans
@skinnylatte I caught these beautiful creature s there in 2016
@skinnylatte Sure, I get high with a little kelp from my friends <3
@skinnylatte I rarely see an angle on Monterey I've never seen before, but you found one!
@rednikki hehe, access to all the aquarium buildings along cannery row helps
@skinnylatte I should had made time to go see some puffins when I was in Iceland back in 2018.
@emma I’ve seen a bunch in the Farallon Islands. And the aquarium!
@skinnylatte oh cool! I've been meaning to take one of those tours out to the Farallons, and of course Cyn and I need to make a day trip to the Aquarium.

@emma do the ones with Alvarado adventures. Cheaper than the expedition and tourist boats. It’s a birding boat but it ends up being very similar, and cheaper

Lemme know if you plan a trip to the aquarium. I would suggest staying over a night to break it up. It’s close but not that close.

@skinnylatte I am told that the way one gives a penguin an MRI is one puts it in a traffic cone

@skinnylatte that’s _delightful_ 😍
@skinnylatte I cannot tell you how envious I am.
@skinnylatte You have the best job, and you have earned it.

@skinnylatte

Well is he your bass or your friend??

@noondlyt the bass friend I’ve ever had

@skinnylatte

Thank Cod for them.

@skinnylatte it’s all about the bass.
@skinnylatte no braine, it's not a bass, it's a bass
choir is rotting my phonetic ability for bass
