Alarm Jellyfish; Atolla wyvillei
If you’re about to get eaten by something, your first reaction is to try and get a bigger something to eat the something that wants to eat you, right? No? It wasn’t mine either, but for this awesome jellyfish that is exactly what it does when disturbed. The biolumnescent alarm jellyfish puts on a fascinating light show when disturbed, in an attempt to attract the attention of a larger fish to eat its predator.
You can see a view of the alarm bioluminescence here.

Tortoise Couple ‘Divorces’ After 115 Years
After 115 years of partnership, two tortoises from the Reptilien Zoo Happ in Austria can no longer stand each other and are now living in separate enclosures, according to an Austrian Times report.
The fallout between the two tortoises, Bibi and Poldi, ends what was the world’s oldest known animal “marriage.”
