This is a video of a striated frogfish (which looks like a character from Adventure Time) displaying its lure, a sort of natural fishing pole that can be extended from its “nose” and wiggle a very convincing worm-like appendage in front of it’s mouth to attract prey. Evolution is nuts.

Because nature is totally nuts, this is a video of a robotic spy fish infiltrating a millions-strong shoal of herring while they look for a place to lay and fertilize their eggs.

To celebrate the conclusion of the 2024 Summer Olympics (I took home the gold in staying up late to watch sports I didn’t know existed), this is a video of tabby cat Calvin demonstrating his athletic prowess by jumping through increasingly higher Olympic rings. One jump he even goes OVER
