3-4 months ago, eggs were fertilized and pushed onto her back where honeycomb-like pockets enclosed the eggs completely. The embryos developed inside these pockets, and now they're emerging as fully developed miniature toads.

This mama Suriname toad put the whole team on her back! She's literally carrying the whole family!

Immersion in water and exposure to high ambient pressure can also have physiological effects that limit the depths and duration possible in free-diving. 🤿

Without the use of a breathing apparatus, expert free-divers must be able to control their most subtle bodily functions to endure extreme conditions.

Free-diving is dangerous, do not attempt unless you are a trained professional. https://t.co/Pwq1z0n2si

“This #ciliate was collected from a saltwater aquarium. A single cell eukaryote full of ingested algae. It’s slightly squashed on the slide with a coverslip and gets stuck. But rather than breaking, it shows off its flexibility.” - Dr. Hunter Hines (@ciliateco)

You ever feel like you're just leaving little pieces of yourself behind? 🦠

Giant clams reproduce sexually and are hermaphrodites (producing both eggs and sperm). While self-fertilization is not possible, this characteristic allows these clams to reproduce with any other member of the species.

Ahhh yes, the Giant clam (Tridacna gigas), so majestic, so beautiful. This clam is spawning, releasing sperm and eggs into the water.

Shiitake mushrooms contribute about 25% of the total yearly production of mushrooms. Commercially, they are typically grown in conditions similar to their natural environment on either artificial substrate or hardwood logs, such as oak.

Shiitake are edible mushrooms native to East Asia that grow in groups on the decaying wood of deciduous trees, particularly shii trees.
