A shimmery moment of zen ✨⁠

⁠The dazzling deep-sea dweller Beroe forskalii is a fierce predator. Comb jellies, or ctenophores, are gelatinous animals that swim by waving tiny hair-like projections called “ctenes.” Beroe also has tiny hairs along its wide mouth that act like teeth and help it grab onto its prey. When it bumps into another comb jelly, it holds on using these “teeth,” opens its mouth wide, and tries to swallow its prey whole.⁠

Monday moment of zen with the relaxing rhythm of our favorite gelatinous zooplankton. 〰️⁠

Sit back and relax with these soothing jellies. From tiny, delicate drifters, to giant deep-sea denizens, jellies come in a variety of beautiful and mesmerizing forms. There are many different kinds of gelatinous animals in the deep, but here we are featuring the umbrella-shaped animals that swim by pulsing a bell and usually have tentacles trailing behind their mellow flowing movement. ⁠⁠Most people underestimate the true diversity of this dazzling group of animals. Taxonomically, they are far more varied than a handful of the most common examples used to represent “jellyfish.”

The latest edition of “if we don’t move Monday can’t see us."⁠

⁠Green bomber worms (Swima spp.) have specialized organs that explode with a burst of green bioluminescence. This impressive display is likely used to startle predators while the animal makes a speedy getaway. They live just above the seafloor and are vigorous swimmers, able to maneuver both backward and forwards.⁠⁠Each worm carries up to eight “bombs.” If they lose one, they can grow it back. The “bombs” may have been gills that evolutionarily transformed over time. Although these worms lack eyes, they have developed a novel bioluminescent defense mechanism. MBARI research has shown that approximately three-quarters of the animals living in the dark ocean depths are capable of producing bioluminescence.⁠

Happy Monday, friends! ✨ Here is your reminder for the week:
-
Don’t rush things you want to last forever.
-
You may see someone’s business flourishing and want to hurry and start yours now. You may see relationships all up and down your timeline and rush the relationship you just started. Just because you see everyone doing amazing doesn’t mean you should rush your process. Things take time. Get your affairs in order. Nourish the relationship you have. Whatever it is don’t rush it if you want it to last forever.
-
Have an amazing week and always remember to protect your peace! ❤️
