Me too. Have you pulled a net through the surface? Most life out there is blue & no bigger than the palm of your hand. You can't see it by just 'looking' you have to fish for it. (images left to right: Velella, Porpita, Glaucus. Images: wiki). THIS is what birds WANT to eat.

We need a way to bypass the lungs but also keep them happy and oxygenated for later use. The fetal circulatory system does this through a series of vessels into the placenta that close off once the lungs inflate.

These lentil-sized jellies are some of the stickiest critters in town. They have specialized adhesive discs on their tentacles. When stuck on the side of aquarium glass, they look like a spray of tiny stars.

Blue sea dragons hunt down Portuguese man-o-war, eat them alive, then steal the stinging cells to use as armor against their enemies. The new inspirational animal of our time ♥

Blue sea dragons (Glaucus) float on the surface & hunt Portuguese man-o-war. Not only do they eat one of the world's most dangerous animals, but they actually steal man-o-war stinging cells and use them as armor! Vid: https://t.co/JmmbZB6dwU

Jellyfish like this have HUNDREDS of mouths! Filter-feeding jellyfish are called "root mouths" b/c they have a complex network of connections leading to the stomach. I wonder: do these 'mouths' also function in gas exchange, like lungs? Study: https://t.co/69LHwxVDkw
