During the American colonial period, lobsters were not valued as food and were mainly eaten by the poor, prisoners, and indentured servants.

Native tribes near the coasts used lobsters as fertilizer or bait rather than food.

People even hid lobster shells to avoid the stigma of poverty. In Massachusetts, indentured servants sued to limit their lobster meals to three times a week, winning the case. Lobsters were abundant, easy to collect from the shore, and considered bottom feeders.

They were often consumed as a paste or stew. In the early 19th century, lobsters were cheaper than Boston baked beans, sometimes even fed to cats.

However, by the late 19th century, as railroads spread and lobsters were served on trains, people who were unfamiliar with them found them delicious.

This led to increased demand and the start of lobster canning. By the 1920s, with lobsters becoming less plentiful but demand growing, lobsters transitioned to a delicacy, popular among celebrities and the wealthy by the 1950s.

This is a 𝗙𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵 up close. They can propel themselves out of water at speeds of more than 56 km/h. Once in the air, their rigid “wings” allow them to glide for up to 200 meters.
Flying fish, belonging to the family Exocoetidae, are remarkable marine creatures known for their unique ability to glide above the water's surface. These fish are equipped with unusually large pectoral fins that function like wings, allowing them to leap out of the water and glide for considerable distances to escape predators.
They are primarily found in warm oceanic waters around the world, including the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Typically, flying fish can glide up to 200 meters at a speed of about 60 kilometers per hour, using their tails to generate the necessary thrust by rapidly beating the water surface before takeoff.
In addition to their distinctive gliding capability, flying fish have adapted to a variety of oceanic environments, often seen in both coastal areas and the open sea. They feed on a diet of plankton and small marine organisms, making them an integral part of the ocean's food web.
Their unique behavior not only aids in evasion from predators like dolphins and larger fish but also makes them a subject of interest for humans, leading to their depiction in folklore and their role in various culinary traditions across different cultures. Their fascinating ability to glide and their ecological importance highlight the incredible adaptability and diversity of marine life.

An underwater photographer captured the exact moment when a female seahorse transfers her eggs to the male, who will incubate them until they hatch.
Seahorses are monogamous and among the animals that show love for their partner in the most tender ways. At sunrise, they are so happy to see each other that they dance for over five minutes. With their tails intertwined, they greet each other with a "good morning," changing their colors to more vibrant shades. Throughout the day, they swim side by side, exchange affectionate gestures, blush, and make up after quarrels. They love enjoying life and good food: they can eat more than three thousand shrimp a day. They are the only species in which the male gives birth after incubating the eggs that the female lays in his pouch. They love each other forever.
