Walruses can sleep on land, and in the water. They have been seen sleeping whilst floating on the surface, lying on the bottom, standing and even leaning!

Weird Fact of the Day:  Mouth brooding is a reproductive strategy employed by several families of fish (and some frogs!). The animals hold fertilised eggs in their mouth and incubate them until they hatch. In some cases, the fish will also intermittently shelter the juveniles after they have hatched to protect them from danger. (Photo belongs to Jim Chambers)

Weird Fact of the Day: The Blobfish (psychrolutes marcidus) owes its unusual appearance to its gelatinous flesh, which is slightly less dense than water and allows it to float above the seafloor without expending too much energy on swimming. It has no bones or muscles - this is why it turns into a ‘blob’ when it reaches the surface. Underwater, it is suspected to look more like its cousin, the Blob Sculpin (second picture).

Weird Fact of the Day: The Fangtooth Fish (Anoplogaster cornuta) gets its name from its giant teeth, which are the largest teeth in proportion to body size of any fish in the ocean. The ‘fangs’ are so long that the fish cannot fully close its mouth and instead had two sockets which house the sharp points. (Photo from Monterey Bay Aquarium).
