  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦑🌊 About 15 years ago, Japanese researchers on a #research vessel photographed a shoal of roughly 100 neon flying #squid gliding in formation above the #Pacific #Ocean, about 600 km from #Tokyo.

    The species uses a funnel-like organ called the hyponome to jet #water, propelling itself through both #air and #sea. Scientists remain unsure why the squid fly in unison, suggesting they may be evading a #predator like a #shark.

  3. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦊🐋 #Indohyus was a #fox-sized, semi-aquatic mammal that lived in and around the coast of an island #India 49 to 45 million years ago.

    #Fossil evidence, including a #skull accidentally broken in the lab in 2007, showed whale-like inner-ear #bones that placed it as the closest non-whale relative of all modern #whales. It gave rise to #Pakicetus and a chain of increasingly aquatic ancestors leading to today’s toothed and #baleen whales.

  7. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋🎵 In 1984-85, thousands of belugas trapped in #Arctic pack #ice off #Russia’s #Chukchi Peninsula faced starvation.

    The #icebreaker Moskva crushed an escape channel, playing #classical #music to coax the herd forward. Roughly 2,000 survived and about 1,000 died, though the music’s role stayed unverified.
