On day 43 of drawing animals I had the urge to change it up a bit, and thus drew these deep sea creatures on black paper. I started with rough sketches in medium grey colored pencil, then put some white gouache on top, wetting the individual shapes first and then working the gouache into them wet-on-wet. The first drawing got finished with some additional colored pencil in white and some faint colors, the second one is still in the gouache-only WIP state.

As the world warms, animals living near the coast are facing stronger storms, rising seas, and extreme temperatures. While many can swim, fly, or scuttle away, some marine creatures can barely move, let alone make a speedy escape.

🇵🇹 "Foram sendo recolhidas “dezenas de aves vivas debilitadas e também vários exemplares mortos”, em especial nas praias de Peniche e da Lourinhã, mas também noutros pontos da costa portuguesa, indicou esta semana o Instituto de Conservação da Natureza e das Florestas (ICNF), explicando que nesta altura do ano os papagaios-do-mar “passam ao largo da costa portuguesa nas suas rotas migratórias”.
Todas estas aves marinhas têm sido encaminhadas para o CRAM – Centro de Reabilitação de Animais Marinhos, do Ecomare, “onde também estão a proceder a análises para tentar apurar a causa da morte”.
Mas que aves marinhas são estas? Paulo Catry, que faz investigação sobre aves marinhas, explica que os papagaios-do-mar (Fratercula arctica) não se reproduzem em Portugal e são raramente avistados a partir de terra. Além disso, “fora da época de reprodução são aves do alto-mar e por isso pouco conhecidas e difíceis de estudar”, nota este professor e investigador do MARE – Centro de Ciências Marinhas e Ambientais e do ISPA – Instituto Universitário."

🇬🇧 "Dozens of weakened live birds and also several dead specimens" were collected, especially on the beaches of Peniche and Lourinhã, but also in other parts of the Portuguese coast, indicated this week the Institute for the Conservation of Nature and Forests (ICNF), explaining that at this time of year puffins “pass along the Portuguese coast on their migratory routes”.
All these seabirds have been sent to the CRAM – Center for the Rehabilitation of Marine Animals, of Ecomare, “where they are also carrying out analyzes to try to determine the cause of death”.
But what seabirds are these? Paulo Catry, who researches seabirds, explains that puffins (Fratercula arctica) do not breed in Portugal and are rarely seen from land. In addition, “outside the breeding season, they are sea birds and therefore little known and difficult to study”, notes this professor and researcher at MARE – Center for Marine and Environmental Sciences and ISPA – University Institute."

Bryozoans likely aren’t the first thing that come to mind when you envision child care, but a new study on the 600-million-year history of these obscure animals highlights the important role good parenting has played in their enduring success.

In one of the largest genetic analyses of invertebrate marine organisms to date, researchers sequenced DNA from hundreds of alcohol-preserved specimens stored in more than 20 museums around the world

"As global warming causes Arctic waters to heat up and sea ice to melt, #MarineAnimals adapted to a cloistered life are threatened by the arrival of other #aquaticmammals and by increases in human activity.

The three #whale species that live in the #arctic year-round— #narwhals, #belugas and #bowheads—are particularly at risk."

Thank you and congratulations to all the scientists and others who did such great work combatting climate change this year. Here's to more achievements in 2023!
