Celebrating World Krill Day: Through the Arts of the Antarctic Krill
Meet Wildlife Jewels “Padparadscha Sapphire the Antarctic Krill” on World Krill Day!
Happy World Krill Day!
Today, we are delighted to celebrate this special World Krill Day through the arts, inspired by the beautiful, fascinating, and science-fiction-like Antarctic Krill. Please join us as we explore and honor these incredible creatures!
Meet Padparadscha Sapphire the Antarctic Krill, our new Wildlife Jewels® painting inspired by the magical Antarctic krill. With a fluorescent body, swarming capabilities, and gorgeous orange spots, krill are truly amazing. Their fascinating colors and behaviors inspire innovative technologies.
Krill capture carbon: Krill swarms feed on carbon-capturing algae near the surface and then dive, depositing carbon-filled waste in the deep ocean. These swarms, numbering in the trillions, store as much carbon as the yearly emissions of 35 million cars.
Wildlife inhabitants of Antarctica depend on krill's survival, yet these incredible creatures face devastating human induced threats and urgently need our protection.
