These are tunicates and the rings really are their mouths but I don’t know what the dots are for!

baby fish hiding under the bell of a jellyfish and using its stinging threads as protection from circling predators. this “floating safe house” will provide the fish with protection and food until they’re big enough to venture out on their own. (source)

It’s not a cephalopod or a cell but it’s PRETTY COOL

Flying Humpback Whale 

[dreams-of-whales-blog]

I put together a few clips of the pass-by at Land Bank on August 18th. There is a breach, a couple spyhops, and some above water vocalizations. Also the background drama of a woman down the way who needed an ambulance because she didn’t bring her epi-pen and got stung by a yellow jacket (she had about fifteen people helping her and there was nothing I could do that they hadn’t done, so I kept on filming). Make sure to watch in HD.

Eye see you! An adult male orca pokes his head above the water to have a look at his admiring onlookers. Another image from the Kolgrafafjödur Bridge in Iceland taken February 2014. What a special place! Photography ©Katie Jones, all rights reserved

Species in the Rhinochimaera family are known as long-nosed chimaeras. Their unusually long snouts (compared to other chimaeras) have sensory nerves that allow the fish to find food. Also, their first dorsal fin contains a mildly venomous spine that is used defensively. They are found in deep, temperate and tropical waters between 200 to 2,000 m in depth, and can grow to be up to 140 cm (4.5 ft) in length.

Chimaeras (also known as ghost sharks and ratfish) are an order of cartilaginous fish most closely related to sharks, but they have been evolutionarily isolated from them for over 400 million years.

It’s in tiny little type there so I’ll just go ahead and repeat: this is NOT an animation. If you’ve got 2 minutes it’s worth watching the full video.
