I couldn't resist posting this video, a lot of novel little Biological tidbits in one short clip. Never knew about the red-tailed tadpoles. 
When I see the electric strobing cuttlefish going after it's prey, I can't help but think of the snake in Animal Book singing "trust in meeeeee, juuuust in meeee" with his eyes going all swirly and hypnotic.
I especially liked the technique used by the dinoflagellates at the end -- tip off your predator's predator and you are golden. The enemy of your enemy is your friend eh? Very nice.

Kari and I watched a documentary on the cuttlefish on Discovery the other day and it was awesome. I love the bioluminescent single celled organisms too.
What is it about that quasi-weightless, watery environment that leads to so many funky lookin' animals and plants?
In my humble opinion, sea animals just have the jump on terrestrial animals is all. :-)
More time to get funky.
