Ok folks, time to help with actual science while scrolling social media!
Marine biologist Dr. Steve Haddock is conducting a study on public perception of this critter down below. He needs replies!
Please go talk to Steve and re-skeet far and wide!

Let's do another #ctenophore survey.
You are scuba divining and see this lobate comb jelly cruising in search of prey. Is it swimming to the LEFT or RIGHT?

New paper led by Tash Prescott - we applied equations for speed, etc that are commonly used on #dinosaur tracks to tracks made by living birds we could watch and time. TLDR: equations aren't even nearly close. Animals moving freely on compliant substrates very different to steady-state lab data
Speed from fossil trackways: calculations not validated by extant birds on compliant substrates | Biology Letters
Fossil trackways serve as a valuable tool in understanding the behaviour and locomotion
of extinct animals. Calculating speeds from trackways has become a standard approach,
particularly for dinosaurs...

That sounds awesome!!! I think if ever visited such a big aquarium, you would have a hard time getting me out again. I'd probably want to have a sleep-over 😆 I feel like fish are totally underrated, especially the weird ones. "Everyone loves whales"...but have you heard about anglerfish? Oh my.
