it’s fundamental research, isn’t that dear to you?
the objective was to determine whether or not other animals are able to navigate their environment. this trait is supposedly quite human.
this is fish but basically animals in general will learn to pilot a ship pretty quickly.
i think it’s amazing.
the problem is every time i see something cool about animals i wanna go back to being vegetarian because the guilt hits me like a brick. not that i eat a lot of animals but still. look at that smart goldfish!
Parrot fish are not named after their colorful appearance, at least not primarily, but rather their beak-like teeth; parrotfish have teeth that are tightly packed together to form a coral-crushing bite. While what they eat is really the algae on coral or rock, they can do quite a lot of damage on coral reefs. They poop out the undigested coral and rock as sand. Fun fact: they also like to sleep enveloped in mucus that they create, like a slime force field?
I quite like this YT channel. It’s not professional content, but well researched from what I’ve seen. Soothing narration and beautiful images makes it a nice 15 minute watch.
Here’s a video about the life at the Polar regions.
Can’t quite believe this is the final final episode of this series! I really like this channel. I guess, he made it up by making a nearly 3 hour long episode, summarizing the series.
we once came across what looked like millions of little sailing jellies! we picked one from the beach and plopped it on a small flat rock (it was dead) and kept it there for many years. we put it in sight and waited for people to ask about the creature. it kinda crumbled after a while. it was about 5cm long i’d say. prob still have the rock somewhere.
most people guessed what it was after some questions.
when we saw it, it was amazing. there were so many and the sails had pushed them to shore. there were all in hues of dark blue and purple. some almost just transparent white.
there, found a pic (not mine but exactly like what we saw)
