Specifically, they're employing 'aposematism' (threat display), rare in such a small animal. They also use their bold colors & loud noises to advertise THREAT & their response to larger animals is to run /towards/them. If cornered, they will attack with a surprising ferocity.

You're looking at an "Upside Down Jellyfish" (genus Cassiopea) & I think you can guess how they got their name. This is them most of the time: Not only tentacles up, but on the sea floor. But that's not the interesting thing. The interesting thing is they have no brain, but still can sleep.

Alligator teeth aren't especially sharp: they're optimized for high-force BITING, not chewing. There's no serrated edge for cutting/severing. So to get bite-sized pieces from larger prey, they use their 'death roll' behavior to pull off chunks small enough to swallow. Nature's blender goes brrr!🐊

Here's a weird fact: the average temperature of all the water in the ocean is about 3.7°C (38.6°F), just a bit above freezing. Although SURFACE WATER temps average 20°C (68°F), including depths down to 200 meters, this is only 10% of total water. The other 90% of ocean water is DEEP & COLD.

(sound on for full effect) Chapman State Park near Clarendon, PA is home to Chapman Lake, which is home to a group of energetic North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) that like to host a midnight rave / leaf frolic. Not sure where they plug the speakers in.

Here's a juvenile of the same species, showing their initial dark coloration. They're technically within the moray eel family (Muraenidae) & can be called 'leaf-nosed morays'. They're all born male. Hormonal switches cause gonads to develop to first male then female also change skin color.

Look again! That's a common baron caterpillar (Euthalia aconthea) sitting on its favorite food source, a mango leaf. This little guy, native to India & Sri Lanka, has perfect camouflage so long as it stays perfectly centered on the leaf's midrib. (📷: SatyamRajput004)

This is a video of a ribbon eel (Rhinomuraena quaesita) captured by Tjeerd Schone in waters near Padangbai, Bali in 2025. Every ribbon eel is born male, with jet black skin & transitions first to this colorful male, then to female - only when they've reached their max size. Let's talk about it.

It's World Bee Day! 🐝 This little Mason bee (genus Osmia) demonstrates exceptional strength & fortitude in removing a nail from a brick wall. Mason bees are solitary: the females make nests from mud or, in this case, masonry walls. So, our narrator should say: "good lass." (📷: MrDowner1306, YT)

Toby the African pygmy falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus) is taking a dust bath at the Cincinnati Zoo. Birds secrete oil from a uropygial gland ('preen gland') that is antimicrobial, conditions & adds waterproofing. A dust bath helps remove this oil so a fresh layer can be applied.

People expect their local leaders to be innovating and pushing the status quo to help people, ESPECIALLY right now. I spent my morning at TriMet's Board of Director's meeting and at Portland City Hall. Here were some of my takeaways.

Every single protester at Delaney has been completely surrounded and the press has been expelled from the crowd. This allows the state authorities to do WHATEVER THEY WANT WITHOUT ANYONE RECORDING/ WATCHING. Pray for the protesters and the victims on hunger strike...
