Bull Kelp is Edible but I’d recommend eating it fresh from the sea, rather than on the sandy shore. 🤷‍♂️ #animals #nature

This Jellyfish Was Way too Huge to Rescue! #animals #nature

Rescuing Jellyfish! You Have to See This‼️😱 Off the coast of Oregon, there’s a jellyfish so transparent you can literally see its insides! The Crystal Jelly (Aequorea victoria) is like a living ghost of the sea, pulsing through the dark waters with an eerie glow. But here’s the crazy part—it doesn’t produce its own light. Instead, it absorbs blue light and transforms it into a green glow using a protein called GFP (green fluorescent protein). This protein is so unique that scientists have used it in medical research, even earning a Nobel Prize! Imagine a jellyfish helping cure diseases—wild, right? #OceanLife

You Have to See This‼️😱 Purple sea urchins might look like spiky little jewels, but they’ve become an absolute menace off the Oregon coast. These tiny creatures are eating machines, and when their population explodes—which it has—they devour entire kelp forests like a plague of underwater locusts. Kelp isn't just seaweed; it's the backbone of the coastal ecosystem, home to fish, sea otters, and tons of marine life. But here’s the kicker: without enough predators like sea otters and sunflower sea stars to keep them in check, purple urchins have gone full rampage mode, creating what's called urchin barrens—huge dead zones on the ocean floor where nothing grows. The shocker? In some places, their numbers have multiplied by over 10,000% in just a few years. This is one of the most aggressive marine takeovers happening right now, and it’s threatening not just the ocean but the fishing industry too. #animals #nature

These things grab your hand and won’t let go! #animals #nature

Poor Animal Lost All His Legs 😭 Crabs are some of the toughest creatures under the sea—and believe it or not, they can regrow their legs! If they lose a claw or limb in a fight or to escape a predator, they don’t sweat it. Over time, they grow a brand-new replacement. The process happens during molting when the crab sheds its old exoskeleton and forms a larger one. Even though regrown claws might start out smaller and weaker, with enough molts, they grow back to full strength. Crabs are literal survival machines! Pacific Sea Nettle Jellyfish: Drifting through the waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Pacific sea nettle jellyfish is as mesmerizing as it is dangerous. With golden-brown, bell-shaped bodies and flowing tentacles that can stretch up to 15 feet, these jellies pack a serious sting. Their venom isn’t usually lethal to humans, but it causes burning pain and a nasty rash. Despite their fearsome reputation, they play an essential role in the ocean ecosystem, feeding on small fish and plankton while being preyed upon by larger sea creatures like sunfish and sea turtles. Orthione Griffenis: The Parasite Invasion in Oregon 🌍 In Oregon's coastal waters, an invasive parasite called Orthione griffenis has been wreaking havoc. This tiny crustacean invader attaches to the gills of native mud shrimp, slowly draining them of energy until they can't reproduce—and sometimes even killing them outright. Scientists believe these parasites hitched a ride on ships from Asia, and since their arrival, they've devastated mud shrimp populations along the Pacific Northwest. Without these shrimp burrowing in tidal zones, entire ecosystems are at risk. It's a nightmare for Oregon’s marine environment! Sea Anemones: The Ocean's Trash Compactors 🌊 Sea anemones look like beautiful underwater flowers, but they’re anything but delicate. These fierce predators have been found eating some seriously weird things. Small fish and shrimp? Sure. But how about birds, sea stars, or even floating plastic waste? That’s right—scientists have observed anemones clinging to and attempting to consume anything that drifts by, using their sticky tentacles and stinging cells to paralyze prey. They're both graceful and downright savage, proving looks can be deceiving in the animal kingdom. #animals #nature #fyp

Rescuing Stinging Jellyfish! 🪼 You Have To See This‼️🤯 Pacific sea nettle jellyfish look like something straight out of a sci-fi movie — graceful, otherworldly, and a little terrifying. Their long, flowing tentacles can stretch up to 15 feet and pack a nasty sting to paralyze prey like tiny fish and crustaceans. But here's the wild part: they have no brain, no heart, and no bones, yet they thrive in the wild ocean, drifting with currents. ##Nature##animals

Did You Know Abalone Shells Are Tougher Than Concrete?! ‼️😱 Abalone shells might look like something out of a treasure chest, but don’t let the shiny colors fool you—they’re insanely strong. Their structure is so tough that scientists are trying to copy it to make better body armor and unbreakable glass. How? The shell is built from microscopic tiles stacked like a brick wall, making it nearly impossible to crack. If concrete had the same design, it would be 100 times stronger! Nature really figured out durability before we did. #Nature #Animals
