"A Teaspoon of sea water can contain more than a million living creatures," - and that's why I use Purrell.

This short video about Plankton is a microscope's greatest find and germaphobe's worst nightmare. It's as if Science is on a daily mission to freak me out. Watch "The Secret Life of Plankton" to discover the cornucopia of micro-tinies with which we share our Earth.

I always knew this day would come. Humans have thrown so much plastic into the ocean that our marine life has finally begun to breed with it into brand-name household product offspring. Within the next five years we'll have "thrown-in-anger" cell phone creatures, and within ten years? Perhaps an astounding new Trash-Atlantis.

Underwater life holds many mysteries. It also holds many living creatures that you may never have discovered if you hadn't stumbled onto this page. Photographed by someone brave at National Geographic, here are some things we share the planet with, whether you wanted to see them or not.

The crab population of Malaysia and Australia are manly folk. They don't need to hire construction workers to build their habitat - they don't even need tools. This impressive collective of sea creatures roll up balls of sand from deep within and push them up to the surface. Rumor has it they're already in talks to do an installation at MoMA.

It makes perfect sense that Southern California's truest beauty can only be caught on film. The golden land of make-believe lends itself perfectly to the long-exposures on a telephoto lens, giving the illusion of paintbrush strokes which are in fact just motions captured on camera. Photographer David Orias aptly names this series Waves.
