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

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
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

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)

#Fish #Puns

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
Lunch time walk
@skinnylatte I am really loving all of the aquarium post and all the puns - keep ‘em coming!

@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

@skinnylatte Is Ray still on X or is there a Ban?

#SCNR the wordplays

@skinnylatte Bad Adrianna, no biscuit!
@GeePawHill it’s actually wearable. I might get in it.
@skinnylatte @GeePawHill I mean, you are hilarious, but actually I think that's a sunfish.
@skinnylatte @GeePawHill Fuck. I just marinebiosplained. But I LOVE marine science!
@msbellows @GeePawHill edited, and I knew but I couldn’t make a verb with mola mola
@skinnylatte @msbellows Oh! Neo-figure. "Sorry, I'm all mola mola here."
@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.
@skinnylatte they’re one of my current obsessions 💘
@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
@thegarbagebird oh yeah i work at an aquarium and we wear this in our podcasts or to pride
@skinnylatte you have so much self-control. if i had daily access to that i would be banned from using it within a week
@skinnylatte I’ve seen the one at the Monterey aquarium!! It’s so cool and huge!
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...

@skinnylatte look, you're adorable and so is the fish!
@skinnylatte Too awesome. (Both photo AND caption.)
@skinnylatte That's Canada's finest right there :D

@skinnylatte

Canada goose, AKA the flying shitbomb. Unfortunately, not good eating.

@skinnylatte you've got a view of the worst Mexican restaurant on the peninsula that also has the best view 😅
@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
@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

@skinnylatte I used to think my office being on a boat was pretty cool, back when I lived in Cleveland.

But now I am incredibly jealous of your office.

@skinnylatte I dunno, there's something fishy about this photo...
@skinnylatte What are the bubbles? Is that like an oxygenation cycle that runs before the exhibit opens?
