Scientists have uncovered one of the largest known animal graveyards on Earth, a massive “whale necropolis” on the deep ocean floor of the southeastern Indian Ocean. Located in the remote Diamantina Zone, this site contains evidence of whale carcasses accumulating for at least 5.3 million years. Using the crewed deep-sea submersible Fendouzhe, researchers conducted 32 dives in 2023 along a 1,200-kilometer stretch of seafloor at depths ranging from 4,616 to 7,001 meters. They documented 476 fossil whale-fall sites and five active modern whale carcasses. Based on observed densities reaching up to 760 individuals per square kilometer, the team estimates the entire zone may hold more than 10 million whale skeletons. Whale falls create rich oases in the nutrient-poor deep sea. A single carcass can support specialized communities, including bone-eating worms (Osedax), brittle stars, anemones, and microbes, for decades. The Diamantina Zone’s V-shaped topography, low sedimentation rates, and protective mineral crusts have preserved both modern and ancient remains exceptionally well, including fossils from living beaked whale species and extinct taxa such as the newly described Pterocetus diamantinae. This extraordinary concentration likely results from the region serving as a key feeding ground for deep-diving beaked whales, combined with seafloor features that funnel sinking carcasses into the same areas. The discovery provides a unique window into cetacean evolution and highlights how whale falls have sustained complex deep-sea ecosystems over millions of years. It also represents a significant, previously unquantified carbon sink on the seafloor. The deepest active whale-fall ecosystem ever recorded was found here at nearly 6.8 km depth, setting a new benchmark for such communities. [Peng, X. et al. (2026).

After 2,457 episodes in 49 seasons, Super Sentai, the Japanese precursor to Power Rangers, finally ended its 50-year weekly run in February. This is from the last day.

¡Zas! Lo que no dicen en las mañaneras. El Mundial que iba a "transformar" la economía. Los hoteles al 65% en CDMX, comercios del Centro perdiendo hasta 90% de ventas, y la CNTE bloqueando todo. Así luce el "legado" del que presumían. Eso sí, las vallas del gobierno sí llegaron puntuales.

30 años del mismo grupo en el poder, le pasan factura a la Ciudad de México 🇲🇽 . Mantenimiento casi inexistente . Sin obras viales . Gastos superfluos e innecesarios como pintar de morado . Falta de agua en muchas zonas y otras inundadas .

Pablo Picasso dijo una vez: "Mi madre me dijo: si eres soldado, te convertirás en general. Si eres monje, te convertirás en Papa. En cambio, yo era pintor y me convertí en Picasso".

A reminder that jobs for 3D artists are not only in the game or VFX industry. Lots of other industries need 3D work and provide a more stable work environment. Your name will never be on a blockbuster but your will have a steady income. You decide what live you want to live but stop saying 3D sucks because layoffs in the gaming industry

When you have no idea of how a thing is made, "everything seems like a nail for your hammer". 😂🤣 It's like saying that the hard thing about making a novel is typewriting. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Clara Brugada como Jefa de Gobierno no hizo nada con las coladeras en Tlalpan. Claudia Sheinbaum en seis años tampoco. Y Gaby Osorio ni lo pidió. Este es el resultado:

Just arrived today at the Commodore Computer Museum🕹️ A rare 1986 Commodore User magazine flexi-disc featuring Heaven 17 and Rainbird's Advanced Music System for the C64. This translucent 7" promo showcases the SID chip's musical potential — straight from the January '86 issue. Did you own this back in the day?

Claudia Sheinbaum se burla de las madres buscadoras diciendo que había más gente de la comisión de búsqueda de víctimas que madres buscadoras manifestantes por el mundial, ¿De qué se ríe la presidenta?

Ahora si @Claudiashein hizo un enorme ridículo al agredir y reprimir a un grupo totalmente pacifico con sus comunicados violentos y amenazas públicas del uso de la fuerza estatal en lugar de dar solución. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦‍♂️😷😷

¿Quien la pasó mal es quien quiere que le vaya mal a México? ¿Es neta que las madres buscadoras quieren que le vaya mal a México? Estas declaraciones van a quedar como algo muy bajo en la historia de este país. La historia va a decir que este país miró más un espectáculo que duró un mes, que ver por darle justicia a cientos de miles de madres a quienes les desaparecieron a sus hijxs. #MundialDelDespojo
