...the first dedicated solely to biology.

The study found that while the jellies had developed the sensory organs correctly, they found it very hard to swim when affected by earth’s gravity.

So if you’re ever born in space, make sure to train your walking skills!

...an amazing 2478 Moon jellies (Aurelia Aurita) were taken to space as part of a study on how gravity affects our development. The cnidarians were taken on this spacial adventure aboard the rocket STS-40 the eleventh launch of Space Shuttle Columbia and the fifth Spacelab mission,

This little snail, Chrysomallon squamiferum, commonly called volcano snail is a small gastropod that inhabits the deep sea hydrothermal vents.

Unlike other gastropods this snail incorporates iron sulfides in its shell and foot, producing many little sclerites. This snail has been declared...

nostrils shut, not letting any water get in.

When they contract the muscles their nostrils open and they can take a big whiff, free of any wet complications.

Now, who would like to have swimming lessons with a seal?

we’re also introduced on how to enter the water.
Most people have the habit of pinching their noses before jumping in but some might tell you that you should just hold your breath, seals disagree.

Well, sort of. Seals have mussels in their nostrils that, when relaxed, close the...

...insert her eggs inside the male’s brood pouch.

The gestation period varies highly around 1 month long and once the time comes, the male will expel the babies, not a couple, not tens, but hundreds or even a thousand!

It's weird, unexpected but partially true.
It may come as a surprise to some but the reproduction of seahorses is much different than what we are used to seeing in the animal kingdom!

Seahorses have a very complex and long courtship ritual which ends with the female using her ovipositor to...
