It was decades ago when Bruce Robison first looked through the plexiglass sphere of a submersible and spotted a most curious critter in the waters off Central California.
“We’re just on the edge of this tremendous change in how we perceive and understand how the ocean works,” said Robison, a senior scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. “If an alien civilization from some other solar system were to send an expedition to Earth to look at the dominant life forms on this planet, they wouldn’t be up here walking around with us. They’d be exploring the deep ocean.
When a larvacean’s mucus filters become clogged, the animal swims free. The abandoned house then collapses like a deflated balloon and sinks rapidly, carrying tiny particles toward the seafloor., said these animals can also teach us new ways to design filters or expandable structures — perhaps to use underwater or even in outer space.
Alice Alldredge, a professor emeritus of marine biology of UC Santa Barbara, dived into the water herself in the 1970s and described the intricate houses of seven species of small larvaceans. She recalled taking a jar underwater and feeding tiny, tiny beads to tiny larvaceans — watching how they moved through the house and counting how many got filtered in a given amount of time.
Happy birthday, Pacific! 🌊
😱
Fantastical sounds like fantesticle.
See global warming isn’t a problem!!! Let’s keep pumping that carbon into the air!!!!! Oh look, there’s the last glacier caps. Looks small, right?
And the ocean is before humans,...the marine life have a story to tell.❤️
This is a liveable creature or mechanism? It’s PERFECT!! And it has an incredible function. This has to be proof of God!
Classic Trump
Don't miss Michael Moore's new 'climatechange' documentary which came out on Earth Day last month. Was about the filth of green energy. Rock the boat and YouTube takes it down. Facebook took down this one as well - but it's here:
Well those wouldn’t be particularly intelligent aliens. ‘Oh look a whale, and it can communicate. Out of our way unintelligent creatures who have harnessed the atom and sent yourselves into space.’
They probably control us from the dimensions we can't process. Could of created this silly species that can't admit what it does. That's entertainment
I believe they would have identified cats as the master species. They sit at home waiting for their human servants who work all day to provide them food and shelter, and we pick up their feces.

Life is in the water...water is life.
What is the amount of planet-warming gasses created by the rioters/looters. We must all remember not to grill this summer, some will remind us we are destroying the planet.
We must protect the ocean, marine life to ensure that we can enjoy its splendour for generations to come.
Make this thing Joe Biden’s running mate.
