Big gulp! The Nautilus team spotted a gulper eel (Eurypharynx pelecanoides) doing just that in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Roku Premiere doles out 4K HDR streaming for just $40

By now you're probably aware of Roku. It's a company that creates streaming video players -- you know, little devices that play Netflix and YouTube on your TV -- as well as an operating system for Smart TVs.

And if history is any indication, we'll like them even more. That's because they seem just good as existing players, and they're cheaper than ever.
