The California Academy of Sciences, a renowned scientific and educational institution dedicated to exploring, explaining, and sustaining life on Earth, went underwater for its newest educational post.
The academy is based in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and has a world-class aquarium, planetarium, and natural history museum—all under one living roof.
For its #XRayDay, the academy descended into the ichthyology department’s radiographs.
See the results from suspiciously cheerful yellowtail surgeonfish to the tiniest known species of hammerhead shark.
The feature photo is Rajella eisenhardti (Roy’s ray) which was collected at a depth of more than 2,600 feet in the Galápagos.
