Spotted Bats

The spotted bat (Euderma maculatum) can be identified by is large ears which have a pinkish tone. Its body is jet-black in color with two large white spots on its shoulders and one white spot on its rump. The fur on its underbelly is snow white. The wings are also pink in color. Unlike most other bats, the spotted bat is solitary and territorial. This bat is considered to be one of the rarest bats in North America. That being said, it does occupy a very large range, but little is known about its wild status. It is considered to be a species of special concern.

why do jellyfish only sting when theres physical contact

why doesnt the electricity just surge throughout the entire ocean

why dont jellyfish rule the world

Fun fact!  Jellyfish don’t use electricity to sting you.  Whenever they feel pressure against their tentacles, it causes its cells to rapidly send out these stingers into your skin that then release its venom.  Like this:

#THAT’S WORSE

They are called nematocysts. They are what make box jellies and other fun lil critters so dangerous, because without these wee little daggers, the venom would have no way to get into your skin.

And yet something as thin as nylon stockings or pantyhose is enough to protect you, they are so small.

So if you’re scared of jellyfish? Wear sexy sheer undergarments into the sea like the regal creature you are.

I’m going to reblog this again because that is some of the best advice I have ever gotten on this blog.

i think the coolest thing would be to see a new color

right so theres this thing called the bullet shrimp 

image

and not only are these things totally badass and stylish

they have 16 colour cones in their vision

us humans only have 3

these things can literally see over 5 times as many colours as we can

literally they can look at what we would see as a completely black space and see thousands of colours we don’t even know exist

do you understand how fuCKING COOL THAT IS

not only that but they can punch a hole in an aquarium tank.

that’s pretty fucking radical.

not only punching through aquarium walls too

these little demon-spawn can punch so hard and so fast that

IT BREAKS WATER PHYSICS

their punches cause water to boil and create a bubble underwater, which kills its prey if it has contact with it, cooking them from the outside

BUT IT DOESN’T EVEN NEED TO MAKE CONTACT

the collapsing bubble sends out a shockwave strong enough to kill anything in a 10 cm diameter due to pure pressure 

this fabulous sob is death incarnate and don’t forget that   

Even better – the inside of that little bubble before it collapses is over 400 million degrees Kelvin, hotter than the surface of the Sun.

One Punch Shrimp

ONE PAAAAAANCHE!  

This straight up sounds like a Pokedex entry
