Babycat Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 26 April 2014Saturday Sea Pens "Graceful creatures of the seafloor, sea pens resemble plump, old-fashioned quill pens. Colors range from dark orange to yellow to white. Each sea pen is a colony of polyps (small anemone-like individuals) working together for the survival of the whole. The primary polyp loses its tentacles and becomes the stalk of the sea pen, with a bulb at its base—the bulb anchors the sea pen in the muddy or sandy bottom. The various secondary polyps form the sea pen's "branches" and have specialized functions. Some polyps feed by using nematocysts to catch plankton; some polyps reproduce; and some force water in and out of canals that ventilate the colony." http://i.imgur.com/pvsjmhc.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/bkcU0iK.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/CGWidxQ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/2p4XDLV.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Per4QGM.jpgNice.

HomesickAlien Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 01 May 2014Thursday Jumping Spiders There are more than 5,000 species of jumping spiders, making the Salticidae the largest of the spider families. They are widely distributed across the world and can even be found on Mt. Everest. The jumping spiders are aptly named as they can spring more than 50 times their own body length to land on unsuspecting prey. They hunt actively rather than catching prey in a web and have excellent vision, with four big eyes in front and four smaller eyes on the top of their head. http://i.imgur.com/vgiOcQ9.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/sVlwfUk.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/u0SRjY2.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/17nD3fO.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/M2oleG4.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/WItx14H.jpg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
