14. is it a tier ranking without me bringing up 12 squids? i dont think so. this here's a vampire squid, miss, a fine specimen for sure
The oceans are a vital regulator for the climate and our weather but are rapidly heating up.
The oceans have hit their hottest ever recorded temperature as they soak up warmth from climate change, with dire implications for our planet's health.
The average daily global sea surface temperature beat a 2016 record this week, according to the EU's climate change service Copernicus.
It reached 20.96C (69.73F) - far above the average for this time of year.
Oceans are a vital climate regulator. They soak up heat, produce half Earth's oxygen and drive weather patterns.
Warmer waters have less ability to absorb carbon dioxide, meaning more of that planet-warming gas will stay in the atmosphere. And it can also accelerate the melting of glaciers that flow into the ocean, leading to more sea level rise.
Hotter oceans and heatwaves disturb marine species like fish and whales as they move in search of cooler waters, upsetting the food chain. Experts warn that fish stocks could be affected...
AHOY!1 AND WELCOME TO THE FIRST SHRIMPO FACTS SUNDAY!1! WHERE I (wirlbue) WILL TALK TO U ABOUT SHRIMPSSS!!! :DDD
Alright! for this shrimpo sunday we have my favorite shrimp! the Pistol Shrimp!1!!
the alphaeidae or pistol shrimp or snapping shrimp (or as i like 2 call em cowboy shrimp :] ) are a family of shrimps characterized for their asymmetrical claws, the biggest one which is capable of causing a LOUD snapping sound, *thanks to the phenomenon of cavitation!!! (mantis shrimp can also cause this phenomenon!!) that happens when the motionless pressure of a liquid (water in this case!) its below the liquid's vapor pressure that form tiny vapor filled bubbles on the liquid, when these bubble experience the higher pressure of the liquid they collapse1!! and generate shock waves (that are literally boiling water thanks to the amounts of pressure) this way being able to knock over their prey! all thanks to the mechanism on their claws!!!*
these funky guys can move its claws at an amazing speed of 97km/hr!, this species haves about 38 or moree genera, the 2 most common would be alpheus and synalpheus, with species of the number of well over 250 and 100,
Most snapping shrimp dig burrows and are common inhabitants of coral reefs, submerged seagrass flats, and oyster reefs. While most genera and species are found in tropical and temperate coastal and marine waters, Betaeus inhabits cold seas and Potamalpheops is found only in freshwater caves!
When in colonies, the snapping shrimp can interfere with sonar and under the sea communication. The shrimp are considered a major source of noise in the ocean! wich is pretty epic i think
Sum facts i find pretty cool about the pistol shrimps :D
🦐.Some pistol shrimp species share burrows with goby fish in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. The burrow is built and tended by the pistol shrimp, and the goby provides protection by watching out for danger. When both are out of the burrow, the shrimp maintains contact with the goby using its antennae. The goby, having better vision, alerts the shrimp of danger using a characteristic tail movement, and then both retreat into the safety of the shared burrow. This association has been observed in species that inhabit coral reef habitats.
🦐.Eusocial (its the type of kinda society that ants n bees have) behavior has been discovered in the genus Synalpheus. The species Synalpheus regalis lives inside sponges in colonies that can number over 300. All of them are the offspring of a single large queen shrimp. The offspring are divided into workers who care for the young and predominantly male soldiers who protect the colony with their huge claws. (I find it very peculiar how i can't really find any information of other pistol shrimp genus that haves this cuality so this is pretty cool i think)
🦐.Pistol shrimp have the ability to reverse claws. When the snapping claw is lost, the missing limb will regenerate into a smaller claw and the original smaller appendage will grow into a new snapping claw. Laboratory research has shown that severing the nerve of the snapping claw induces the conversion of the smaller limb into a second snapping claw. The reversal of claw asymmetry in snapping shrimp is thought to be unique in nature.
hope u guys enjoyed the shrimpo facts sunday!! :D [edit*] [tyms to @cruel-singer for the notes on the phenomenon of cavitation that is how the snapping shrimp's claws actually work!! really ty gamer :DD]
Abyssal gigantism (aka “deepsea gigantism”) is a phenomenon where deep-sea creatures are horrifyingly massive compared to their shallower-water counterparts, and scientists aren’t entirely sure why this is.
Some proposed explanations include that it’s an adaptation mechanism to deal with
a) scarcer food sources
b) the massive amount of pressure found at deep-sea depths
c) It’s an adaptation for dealing with the colder temperatures found at such great depths

You know these little guys that you find in your garden?
i was watching a deep sea documentary and these underwater cameras found a bigfin squid hovering ominously in the vast, crushing darkness. it was really fun hearing the scientists talk over the footage like “what’s that?” “o-oh looks like a squid haha” like with audible tension til they got a clearer shot. i could hear them trying to logic through and reason “surely that’s not something horrible” in real time in their voices. meanwhile the squid’s just hovering there like an evil marionette master
if you are scared of it please watch the video where there’s a normal zoom in clear water while it moves and very enthusiastic marine biologists coo over it like a puppy
One of my favorite creatures is amphiuma tridactylum because they look like they're flipping you off all the time but they also have a very sweet smile
