#DidYouKnow that #jellyfish have no brain or heart? 🤯 What they do have is a loose network of nerves called a "nerve net," but no brain. And though they have no heart, their bodies are so thin that they can be oxygenated solely by diffusion.

It's 8/8 🗓️ and it's the perfect day to talk about the octopus! 🐙 An octopus has 8 arms and each one can think for itself. Over half of an octopus' neurons are in its arms, meaning they can taste, touch, and make decisions independently. Basically… eight mini brains! 🧠

Society has taught us to be scared of sharks, but we should be scared FOR them.🦈 Sharks play a key ecological role in our marine environment, yet globally, shark populations continue to decline at an alarming rate. The real danger isn’t sharks, it’s a future without them. 🎥 Josh Daniel Nunez

#DYK coral reefs are the most biodiverse ecosystems in our ocean? They cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, yet support nearly 25% of all marine life. Seahorses, sea turtles, sharks, and countless other species depend on these ecosystems to survive. But they depend on us to thrive.

How does the flame scallop escape predators? 💭 No claws, no teeth, no venom — but flame scallops have a trick: they swim! When crabs, shrimp or sea stars close in, they clap their shells repeatedly, jetting water to dart away. No fight, just flight. 🔥🐚
