You Have to See This! Shoreline isopods on the Oregon coast are like tiny, alien janitors of the beach! These little crustaceans hide under rocks and seaweed, scuttling around to clean up the debris left behind by the tides. But here’s the wild part—some of these isopods are parasitic, latching on to fish like miniature vampires! Imagine walking on the beach and not knowing these sneaky creatures are just below the surface, keeping the ecosystem in balance. Nature is as weird as it is fascinating! Find me on 👻 @jakec.pnw and YT! #Nature #Animals
You Have to See This! Did you know there’s a sneaky little hitchhiker that’s changing ecosystems in Oregon? Meet *Orthione griffenis*, a parasitic isopod that attaches to mud shrimp, draining them of energy and stopping them from reproducing! These tiny invaders likely hitchhiked their way to the Pacific Northwest in ballast water from ships and have been wreaking havoc ever since. The mud shrimp population is plummeting, throwing entire coastal ecosystems out of balance. It's a classic case of "small but mighty" when it comes to environmental damage! #Nature #animals
You Have to See This‼️😱 Sea anemone tentacles might look like soft, harmless noodles swaying in the ocean, but they’re actually loaded with *microscopic harpoons*. That’s right—each tentacle is covered in stinging cells called nematocysts that fire venom at lightning speed to stun prey instantly. What’s even crazier? Some anemones can regrow tentacles if they’re damaged, making them practically indestructible ocean warriors! #Nature #Animals
You Won’t Believe What I Found While Feeding My Sea Anemone Friends‼️ of all the sea animals in the ocean, the green sea anemone is one of the most interesting! ##animals##nature##cuteanimals##seaanimalsintheocean#creatorsearchinsights
Poor Animal Lost All His Legs 😭 Crabs are some of the toughest creatures under the sea—and believe it or not, they can regrow their legs! If they lose a claw or limb in a fight or to escape a predator, they don’t sweat it. Over time, they grow a brand-new replacement. The process happens during molting when the crab sheds its old exoskeleton and forms a larger one. Even though regrown claws might start out smaller and weaker, with enough molts, they grow back to full strength. Crabs are literal survival machines! Pacific Sea Nettle Jellyfish: Drifting through the waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Pacific sea nettle jellyfish is as mesmerizing as it is dangerous. With golden-brown, bell-shaped bodies and flowing tentacles that can stretch up to 15 feet, these jellies pack a serious sting. Their venom isn’t usually lethal to humans, but it causes burning pain and a nasty rash. Despite their fearsome reputation, they play an essential role in the ocean ecosystem, feeding on small fish and plankton while being preyed upon by larger sea creatures like sunfish and sea turtles. Orthione Griffenis: The Parasite Invasion in Oregon 🌍 In Oregon's coastal waters, an invasive parasite called Orthione griffenis has been wreaking havoc. This tiny crustacean invader attaches to the gills of native mud shrimp, slowly draining them of energy until they can't reproduce—and sometimes even killing them outright. Scientists believe these parasites hitched a ride on ships from Asia, and since their arrival, they've devastated mud shrimp populations along the Pacific Northwest. Without these shrimp burrowing in tidal zones, entire ecosystems are at risk. It's a nightmare for Oregon’s marine environment! Sea Anemones: The Ocean's Trash Compactors 🌊 Sea anemones look like beautiful underwater flowers, but they’re anything but delicate. These fierce predators have been found eating some seriously weird things. Small fish and shrimp? Sure. But how about birds, sea stars, or even floating plastic waste? That’s right—scientists have observed anemones clinging to and attempting to consume anything that drifts by, using their sticky tentacles and stinging cells to paralyze prey. They're both graceful and downright savage, proving looks can be deceiving in the animal kingdom. #animals #nature #fyp
Rescuing Stinging Jellyfish! 🪼 You Have To See This‼️🤯 Pacific sea nettle jellyfish look like something straight out of a sci-fi movie — graceful, otherworldly, and a little terrifying. Their long, flowing tentacles can stretch up to 15 feet and pack a nasty sting to paralyze prey like tiny fish and crustaceans. But here's the wild part: they have no brain, no heart, and no bones, yet they thrive in the wild ocean, drifting with currents. ##Nature##animals
You Have to See This‼️ The Pacific sea nettle jellyfish is like something out of a sci-fi movie! These mesmerizing creatures have tentacles that can stretch up to 12 feet long, longer than most cars and their sting isn’t just a pinch. It delivers venom powerful enough to paralyze prey instantly! But here’s the real kicker: they don’t even have a brain! They navigate and hunt using a network of nerves and sheer instinct. Imagine drifting for hundreds of miles without a thought but still thriving in the deep blue sea. Crazy, right? #Nature #Animals
