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."

The Fossa

 

Until recently it was thought the fossa, with its feline features, was a primitive kind of cat. It’s actually one of the largest members of the mongoose family, and is unique to the forests of Madagascar.

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.

Wow! Those are some colourful spiders. Although, in nature that's usually a warning sign. Consider me warned

Because I'm bored.

 

 

The Cassowary

 

The cassowary is a large, flightless bird most closely related to the emu. Although the emu is taller, the cassowary is the heaviest bird in Australia and the second heaviest in the world after its cousin, the ostrich.

I've never seen green eggs before - such a vivid shade! And what a cute little chick! The blue color on the adult bird is very striking.
