This jelly’s crazy colors and far-out appearance clued scientists into a unique find. ✨

Of all the jellies that call the ocean’s midnight zone home, the psychedelic jelly (Crossota millsae) is one of the most stunning. Its wildly colorful appearance—ruby red, bright orange, and electric purple—first tipped off scientists that they had found a previously unknown species.

But a closer look offered scientists another surprise: This species is one of a handful of jellies that bear live young.

The female psychedelic jelly broods her babies on those crimson canals that radiate out inside her bell. Mom carries more than a single baby at once. Her babies can all be different sizes, indicating different stages of development. The developing young get their nutrition from mom. In their shelter beneath her bell, the little jellies grow bigger and bigger, even sprouting tentacles while still attached to their mother. When the juvenile jelly outgrows its shelter, it pulses free and swims off to live on its own. As the juvenile grows, its lavender color fades, developing the tangerine pigmentation typical of adults.

Something about the echidna

The echidna is an animal known for its solitary behavior and unusual characteristics. It feeds on ants and termites, which it captures with a long, sticky tongue, similar to that of anteaters. It is covered in spines like hedgehogs and porcupines, lays eggs like reptiles, has a beak similar to birds, and a pouch like kangaroos. Additionally, it has a four-headed penis but lacks both nipples and teeth.

Despite the absence of sweat glands, it can withstand the extreme heat of its habitat, which includes Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea. To cool down, it has developed a unique system: it releases mucus bubbles from its nose, which burst and moisten it, helping to keep it cool. These adaptations allow the echidna to survive and thrive even in climatic conditions that would seem lethal.

Along with the platypus, the echidna belongs to the oldest family of mammals still in existence.

"Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in." - Amy Lowell⁣ ⁣ I believe this holds true whether it's the creator of the art, or the end recipient who engages with and enjoys the art.⁣ ⁣ You connect differently with any given piece of artwork because of who you are, how you see the world, what you value, what delights you, what ticks you off.⁣ ⁣ One reason we hang art on our walls in the first place is because it expresses something about who we are. ⁣ ⁣ Why do we then settle for so-so pieces that don't really speak to us or spark any joy in our hearts?⁣? ⁣ I may not know you well, but I know this:⁣ ⁣ You're a brilliant original, one of a kind.⁣ ⁣ And the art you put on display should reflect that.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 🙋‍♀️ Want a little help matching your personality to your wall art? ⁣ ⁣ This is what I do!⁣ ⁣ Send me a DM, or click the link in my bio to set up a free 1:1 consultation, just for you!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 🖼️: 'Amber Waves of Plumage' - prints available via the link in my bio (just click the pic!)⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #ihavethisthingwithorange #orangefeed #burntorange #colorinspiration #quirkyhomedecor #differentart #weirdandwonderful #authenticlife #perfectisboring #livingoutloud #uniquelyyou #givegreatgifts #mythicalart #fantasycreatures #printartist #metallicprint #femaleartistsoninstagram #arthealstheheart #positiveart #energyart #soulart #hangitonthewall #framedcanvas #wallartwork #uniqueartists #uniqueartwork #uniqueart #energypositive #confidentinme #realphotos (at Madison, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkD4sVCN3g4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
