There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar;
I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
-- Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
Many tales from the deep this week: giant stingrays, secret lives of mantas, tree (eating) crabs, corals eating jellyfish, right-flippered turtles and fish deep in the trenches.
The big story of course is the one about Dino Two-Legs, the sauropod that stood on its own two feet.
If you've got the stomach for it, read all about gladiatorial bees that fight to the death. If you don't, you can still look at this slideshow of wildlife from the Yucatan.
Oh, and it's official. There's water on the moon !
