Off the Norther Hawaiian Islands a new shark species has been identified, the Laila Lanternshark (Etmopterus lailae). Its about the weight of a pineapple and apparently glows in the dark. As a member of the Lanternshark family, it has photopores (light producing organs) on their bodies. It is less than a foot long and weighs under 2 pounds. The Lanternshark was actually discovered 17 years ago but apparently the researches were operating on Island Standard Time.

Super Schnozzle: Tiny, Glow-in-the-Dark Shark Has a Huge Nose A glow-in-the-dark shark that has a mouthful of pointy teeth and an impressively large bulbous nose is also quite small — about the weight of a pineapple, according to a new study.

Blue Whales are the largest animal on the planet and researchers were able to identify and how they decide to feed on a patch of Krill, tiny little organisms that make up the diet of these massive whales. The Blue Whales typically eye a patch of Krill and decide if it is worth it to make a feeding pass. When the whale opens its mouth, this motion acts like a break, slowing the whale down from about 6.6 mph down to 1 mph. It takes a lot of energy to get back up to speed so the krill kill has to be worth it.

While the obvious effects of oil spills on the environment are hard to miss, Australian researchers have discovered very damaging secondary effects. With as little as a few drops of oil in the amount of water to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool, fish were found to make very poor decisions. They were akin to being drunk, swimming out into the blue or choosing dead coral for homes. They didn't even respond appropriately to predators, leading to overall decreased rates of survival.

Oil-exposed fish make dangerous decisions, study finds - BBC News Reef species show dangerous behaviour akin to being intoxicated when affected by oil, a study finds.

In 1984 a storm in the Atlantic Ocean completely stripped away one of the beaches on Achill Island. For 33 years all that was left was barren rocky shoreline. In May another storm front came through and completely returned the sand to Dooagh Beach on this tiny island off of Ireland. For the next part of the show, the Atlantic will be pulling a series of bunnies out of it's Nor'easter....

Irish beach reappears 33 years after being washed away – video Locals at Dooagh, Achill island, had got used to their sandless beach, which storms in 1984 turned into just rocks and pools. But a freak tide at Easter has brought hundreds of tonnes of sand back to the bay off Ireland’s County Mayo coast
