A juvenile African pompano, or threadfin trevally, swims through the Verde Island Passage, a major shipping lane in the Philippines. Its streaming filaments resemble the tentacles of a jellyfish—a possible advantage for evading predators that patrol the night sea.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

The largest clutch laid by any species of turtle is the hawksbill turtle, which can lay up to 200 eggs in a nest! Every 2-5 years, females return to the beaches where they originally hatched to lay their eggs, which are then left to hatch and fend for themselves.
