What can I say? I find the natural world incredibly inspiring so unfortunately you’ll all have to suffer through some nerdy posts on occasion! Thanks to a recent post on the very cool science blog, The Artful Amoeba, I got to learn a bit about the bizarre and beautiful Bloodybelly comb jelly (Lampocteis cruentiventer) (how’s that for a lyrical common name). The video is a must watch (hilariously corny soundtrack included). Video of course, is after the jump. Screencaps and video courtesy Monterey Bay Aquarium
Hiya — This is Jen Frazer and I write The Artful Amoeba. So glad you enjoyed the post and thanks so much for the link! I totally agree it’s inspiring. I wish I could have iridescent rows of undulating cilia down my body too; they’re totally eye-catching and very slimming. : )
Certainly! They’re such amazing creatures.
