• Immortal jellyfish are also known to be “hitchhikers”. They have been recorded hitching rides on cargo ships that use seawater for ballast. This phenomenon has allowed the species to rapidly populate the world’s oceans in recent decades.

2. Habitat:  Australia
3. Conservation Status: Near threatened
4. Classification: semiaquatic, egg-laying mammal
5. Life span: about 10 years
6. Diet:  almost solely comprised of bottom-dwelling aquatic creatures like small freshwater crustaceans, snails, tadpoles and small fish
7. Fun facts: 

• PLATYPUSES DON’T HAVE STOMACHS
• PLATYPUSES USE THEIR TAILS FOR ALL SORTS OF THINGS
• PLATYPUS BILLS GIVE THEM A “SIXTH SENSE”
  A platypus’s bill has thousands of cells that give it a sort of sixth sense, allowing them to detect the electric fields generated by all living things. It’s so sensitive that the platypus can hunt with its eyes, ears, and nose all closed, relying entirely on the bill’s electrolocation.
• MALE PLATYPUSES HAVE VENOMOUS SPURS
  Platypuses are one of just a few venomous mammals, which is one of their more reptilian characteristics. But unlike snakes, a platypus’s venom isn’t in his teeth. Instead, males have a hollow spur on each hind leg from which venom is dispensed—but only sometimes. Although the spur itself is always there, the venom gland to which it is connected is seasonally-activated and only produces venom during mating season, indicating that its use is for fending off competing males.

2. Habitat:  Japan, Australia, New Zealand
3. Conservation Status: Not evaluated
4. Classification: Cephalopoda
5. Life span: about 2-3 years
6. Diet: primarily feeding on crabs, shrimps, and other invertebrates.
7. Fun facts: 

• The fourth highly venomous species of octopus that are found in tide pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans. It can hold enough poison that is potent enough to kill 26 adult humans within minutes😱
• Besides dolphins, the blue-ringed octopi are the only non-humans that enjoy the act of sex.😮The act of copulation continues until the female has had enough, and in most cases, the female needs to use its force to pull down the over-enthusiastic male.
• The male octopus dies after mating and the female octopus lays only a single clutch of eggs in her whole lifetime, with the clutch containing of about 50-100 eggs. The female protects the eggs under her arms for a period of almost six months. It dies soon after the hatchlings come out, since it does not consume any food during incubation.
• Male blue-ringed octopus displays homosexual behavior attempting to copulate with both the males and the females, and of all sizes. Whattt??? 😳
