Jellyfish steal nutrients from their habitats
As anyone who is familiar with the food chain knows, animals give back some of the energy they consume. The waste of larger animals feeds smaller animals, as well as fungi, plants, and bacteria, which in turn support life lower on the food chain, etc. As scientists learn more about jellyfish, they’re finding that jellyfish don’t play fair. Their waste chemicals support only a small group of bacteria, which themselves aren’t very biologically useful. As one scientist put it, “They’re eating a lot of the food web, and turning it into gelatinous biomass. They’re essentially stealing a lot of the energy, then putting it away.” This research could be an ominous sign for the world’s waterways, which are seeing an explosion of jellies as pollution and fertilizer runoff kill off their competitors.
poor little guy:(
The golden toad was once a common species in Costa Rica, but by 1989 only a single toad could be found. The species was officially declared extinct in August 2007.
10 animals presumed extinct in the last decade

BUNNY WITHOUT EARS FOUND NEAR JAPANES NUCLEAR PLANT
A newborn bunny without ears in Namie City, Japan, just outside the 18-mile exclusion zone around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The rabbit was found in May by 56-year-old Yuko Sugimoto. It has become a symbol of people’s fears of radiation after the Fukushima plant was damaged by the earthquake and tsunami in March, even though scientists say there’s no evidence the bunny’s defect was caused by radioactivity.

he saved money because he doesn’t have to buy oxygen tank! LOL
The only spider to spend almost all of its life underwater creates a bubble of air in its web, which actually extracts oxygen from the surrounding water. This allows the spiders to stay in their aquatic webs for more than a day at a time.
Skin. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through healthy skin from the breast. The top layer is the stratum corneum (red), which is composed of dead, keratinised flattened cells that are continuously sloughed off and replaced with new cells from below. The dermis (pink) contains the blood vessels that nourish the upper layer. Below the dermis is the subcutaneous layer (brown) which is mostly composed of fat.(via Science Photo Library)
