Project Monsoon Clever colorful street art that only appears when it rains
After the Superhydrophobic Street Art, which uses a superhydrophobic coating to create designs which appear only in the rain, here is the Project Monsoon, which uses the same concept, this time with hydrochromic
painting, which reveals its color only when wet. This amazing and
clever project was designed by a Korean team of designers, in
collaboration with Pantone, to provide color to the streets of Seoul
during the rainy season, while paying tribute to the Korean culture. A
brilliant idea! Source: ufunk
This little fish lives deeeeeeeeeep down in the ocean and spits that little glob of bio luminescent liquid to momentarily distract predators and escape being eaten
It’s a wizard
ITS LIKE TOOTHLESS IN HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
This has been corrected before on different comment chains, but the replies with wrong information are far more popular, so here’s a correction again…
Based on information from the narration in the original clip from BBC, the cardinal fish seen here is NOT responsible for making the bioluminescent “liquid”, and the fish is NOT intentionally using bioluminescent puke to distract predators. What happened is that the fish ate a type of ostracod (which is a tiny seed-shaped shrimpy animal) that is capable of bioluminescence. These ostracods are not particularly happy with the situation and begin glowing after being swallowed, which causes the cardinal fish to have a glowy belly. Swimming around with a glowing patch makes it easy to be spotted by predators, and the fish would rather avoid this. As such, the fish pukes the still-glowing ostracod back out, resulting in the “glob of bioluminescent liquid”. The fish itself is not producing the bioluminescent substances, and it does not use the glowing puke as a distraction (at least, not intentionally).
The true wizards are the ostracods; please give them due credit c:
Please don’t take your pets for granted. Even if you’re frustrated that your dog has been barking all day or your bird has been screaming for attention, remember you are all they have in this world. Give your fish that extra water change. Give your dog or cat that tummy rub they’ve been begging for. Chop up some fresh fruit as a treat for your rodents or reptiles. Just spend some time with them. Be compassionate to your animals. They are living creatures that are alive simply because you wish them to be. They may only be a small part in your life, but to them, you are their everything.
