[Audio] We are thrilled to present our presentation on the Bloody-belly comb jelly. Today, we will be discussing this remarkable creature and its distinctive features. The Bloody-belly comb jelly is a member of the Eukaryota Phylum: Ctenophora Family: Lampoctenidae. It belongs to the Kingdom: Animalia and orders: Lobata. Ironically, at the depths where the Bloody-belly lives, it's nearly invisible to predators. In the darkness of the deep sea, animals that are red appear black and blend into the dark background. Scientists believe the Bloody-belly's red belly helps mask bioluminescent light from the prey it consumes, making it harder for predators to spot it. In fact, a predator with a glowing gut could easily become prey. The genus name Lampocteis derives from the Greek roots for brilliant comb, referring to the bright iridescence diffracted from the animal's comb rows. The Bloody-belly comb jelly is known for its unique features, including its red belly and comb rows that can be up to 10 centimeters long. It is a fascinating creature that provides valuable insights into the adaptations of animals that live in the deep sea. Thank you for joining us on our presentation, Amazing sea creatures. We hope you found this information informative and interesting..

Ironically, at the depths where the bloody-belly lives, it’s nearly invisible to predators. In the darkness of the deep sea, animals that are red appear black and blend into the dark background.

Scientists believe the bloody-belly's red belly helps mask bioluminescent light from the prey it consumes. A predator with a glowing gut could easily become prey.

The genus name Lampocteis derives from the Greek roots for “brilliant comb,” referring to the bright iridescence diffracted from the animal’s comb rows.

[Audio] Glaucus atlanticus is a sea slug that lives in the pelagic zone of the open ocean. These creatures are carried along by the winds and ocean currents, and they use the surface tension of the water to stay afloat. Glaucus atlanticus is a member of the Eukaryota kingdom, Animalia phylum, Mollusca class, Gastropoda order, Nudibranchia suborder, Cladobranchia family, and Glaucidae genus. These sea slugs are known for their unique countershading coloration, which allows them to blend in with their surroundings and avoid detection by predators. However, Glaucus atlanticus also has a defense mechanism in the form of stinging nematocysts that are stored within its own tissues. Common names for this sea slug include the blue sea dragon, sea swallow, blue angel, blue glaucus, dragon slug, blue dragon, blue sea slug, and blue ocean slug. We hope you find this information about Glaucus atlanticus as fascinating as we do, and we look forward to sharing more about amazing sea creatures with you on slide 4.. 

Scene 3

Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Order: Nudibranchia Suborder: Cladobranchia Family: Glaucidae Genus: Glaucus Species: G. atlanticus

These sea slugs live in the pelagic zone (open ocean), where they float upside-down by using the surface tension of the water to stay afloat. They are carried along by the winds and ocean currents. G. atlanticus makes use of countershading; the blue side of their bodies faces upwards, blending in with the blue of the water. The silver/grey side of the sea slug faces downwards, blending in with the sunlight reflecting on the ocean's surface when viewed from below the surface of the water.

G. atlanticus feeds on other pelagic creatures, including the Portuguese man o' war and other venomous siphonophores.

This sea slug stores stinging nematocysts from the siphonophores within its own tissues as defence against predators

(common names include the blue sea dragon, sea swallow, blue angel, blue glaucus, dragon slug, blue dragon, blue sea slug, and blue ocean slug)

[Audio] We present Amphioctopus marginatus, also known as the coconut octopus and veined octopus. This medium-sized cephalopod is known for its unusual behavior, including bipedal and quadrupedal walking as well as tool use. The octopus gathers coconut shells and seashells and uses these for shelter. The species displays a typical color pattern with dark ramified lines similar to veins, usually with a yellow siphon. Amphioctopus marginatus prefers shallow, subtidal waters along the continental shelf and can be found at a maximum depth of 190 meters (620 ft) in mud and sand substrates.. 

Scene 4

Family: Octopodidae Genus: Amphioctopus Kingdom: Animalia Order: Octopoda Phylum: Mollusca

Amphioctopus marginatus, also known as the coconut octopus and veined octopus, is a medium-sized cephalopod belonging to the genus Amphioctopus.

is found in tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean

It commonly preys upon shrimp, crabs, and clams, and displays unusual behavior including bipedal and quadrupedal walking as well as tool use (gathering coconut shells and seashells and using these for shelter).

Scene 5

Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Syngnathiformes Family: Syngnathidae Subfamily: Syngnathinae Genus: Phycodurus

The leafy seadragon (Phycodurus eques) or Glauert's seadragon, is a marine fish. It is the only member of the genus Phycodurus in the family Syngnathidae, which includes seadragons, pipefish, and seahorses

The name is derived from their appearance, with long leaf-like protrusions coming from all over the body.

These protrusions are not used for propulsion; they serve only as camouflage.

The leafy seadragon propels itself utilizing a pectoral fin on the ridge of its neck and a dorsal fin on its back closer to the tail end.
