Another ctenophore. These guys were the first to branch off from the animal lineage, which means that every other animal is more closely related to each other than any is to ctenophores.

If I am not mistaken, it was the 6(?) episode long documentary The Hunt. As you can tell, it shows many predator/prey relationships in many different conditions around the world. One episode is about the sea (where this is from). I recommend you watch it, it's fucking beautiful and captivating.

If that's not where the footage is from, it at least features the same creature.

Also, I chose these ones because you can see the phenomenon well here. The area of the glowing water is small, it can sometimes reach up to 16 000 square km.

How fucking beautiful it must be, being in a little boat and seeing the whole sea up to the horizon covered in this.

>>17324088
Fun fact: ships leave trails of these things, so if you're ever lost at sea at night and you see a blue trail, follow it.

I saw that the other day as the featured picture on Wikipedia. Seems people are starting to take a notice of them. I think that it would be so cool if these things could fly ; like, imagine large swarms of them, all bluey and stuff. And before you say, I know they use poison from the Man O'War. However, they EXTRACT IT from the jellyfish; if they were in air, they wouldn't have it.

super weird spider thing:

It has a shell. It's called a soft shell turtle. Turtles can literally not live without their shell - it is irremovable attached to their bone structure and blood network.
