Tomorrow: Ocean released by National Geographic

Tomorrow the National Geographic Society releases a special edition ‘Ocean‘ magazine that takes an in depth look at the world’s oceans ecosystem including breathtaking pictures and a pull out of the “Our Water World”. As they put it “Here’s your chance to dive below the surface and examine a dynamic, interdependent ecosphere that is rarely seen. In three compelling sections, explore life at every depth and see how they affect each other. Then learn why fishing industries, manufacturing, and society must protect planet ocean.”

You can purchase at your local newsstand or have your special someone purchase it here.

What would it be like to be a seal pup for a moment?

Thanks to the amazing video series called CritterCam produced by National Geographic we can take a sneak peak into the life of a bearded seal pup as he (or she) swims with their mother. The video is shot from the point of view of the seal so don’t expect any sounds other than what the seal would be able to hear. One of my favorite moments from the clip is when mum and pup rubbed their noses together for some gentle affection. Also, don’t miss at 2:30 when you can hear the little one making noises and communicating with his (or her) elder. Technology is just so delightful sometimes!
