To bounce back from the brink of extinction caused by the accidental introduction of invasive species required the cooperative efforts of zoos, conservationists & the indigenous people of Guam, the Chamorro, for whom the sihek has special cultural significance.

They're filter-feeders, swimming through freshwater, mouth open like a blue whale, feeding on phytoplankton that get caught in special structures at the back of their expansive mouths called gill rakers. They can grow to enormous size (7 ft, 200 lbs) in their very long lives (30-60 years).

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.

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.

Shag carpeting was an experimentally-easier analog for the sand of the snake's home. Soft, bendable pegs simulate a barrier. The snake's eyes are temporarily covered. Snakes move on a path that intercepts the barrier & the result is "reminiscent of matter-wave diffraction of subatomic particles."

This surprising strategy could be a consequence of their incredible reproductive rate: A dozen offspring can be produced about every 16 days, females are fertile at 3 weeks old. Real-world tribbles! When colony sizes get large, the group will split & mass migrate, sometimes across bodies of water.

Think of space-time as a giant fabric. Gravity waves are ripples in that fabric caused by violent, high-energy events billions of light-years away. We're talking about colliding black holes, merging neutron stars, or massive exploding stars warping space itself.

Why do we dream? Or, more to the point, why does the platypus dream so MUCH? You're lucky to get 1.5-2 hrs of dream-rich REM sleep per night, but our duck-billed ballerina here gets >8 hrs. Did you know that spiders, fire ants & cuttlefish dream? (so far as we can tell) Let's talk about it.

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.

Karl's shell is also well-adapted to the Life Aquatic, with softer leathery skin like a freshwater softshell turtle, but with the high dome characteristic of ocean dwellers. But it's this last detail that I find most intriguing, and I'll let David Attenborough demonstrate it...

People will pay $20 for apartment gossip because it feels easy. “Where can I live?” “What neighborhood?” “What’s rent?” “Where’s the food?” “Where’s the beach?” “What app do I use?” That feels fun. That feels close. That feels like movement. But the real question is not “where can I get an

23-year-old Asal Shakeri was a videographer & photographer from Tabriz. On January 9th 2026, she was murdered by regime forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

TikTok would have you believe all Latinas are crazy. That is definitely not true, but there is a baseline level of cultural difference you will have to make peace with.

A leaked video from 2001 shows Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu talking about how Israel intentionally strikes Palestinians “painfully”, how he deceived the US to break the Oslo Accords, and how Americans will always support Israel if it faces backlash.

Did Vance just tell the American public, “We’ve accomplished our objectives?!” Right. Another lie. We went in with four demands: 1.Regime change 2.End nuclear enrichment 3.Eliminate long-range missiles 4.Stop backing Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas

I got that the other day. It does its best with the only source print, but is still really good. Curious 'duplicated and reversed shots' shades of Doctor Who: Underworld. I saw it on C4 in the early 90s on a Casio pocket tv and fell in love with it.

The treatment of detainees inside Delaney Hall is appalling. Lack of medical care. Insufficient and sometimes infested food. Overflowing sewage, overcrowding, no outdoor time, and blatant retaliation.

Cuando escuchas "vivienda protegida" piensas en un alquiler que por fin puedes pagar. Pero la realidad es distinta. En Madrid: Un piso de 70 m2 en el Plan Vive exige ingresos mínimos de 37.000 al año. Si el salario más frecuente en España es de 15.575 €, ¿a quién está protegiendo realmente?
