A bloom of harmful algae is causing sea lions to strand themselves along the California coast, with symptoms including disorientation, head weaving, foaming at the mouth, and seizures. The Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute has rescued 23 animals since July 26.
A peculiar sea creature known as the sea hare has been making appearances on the shores of southwest Florida, leaving beachgoers baffled. These creatures, characterized by their slug-like tentacles and internal shell, are not typically found in such areas but have been spotted due to their migration during mating season. Sea hares are known for their ability to release a toxic ink when threatened, which can be harmful to other animals. Experts advise pet owners to keep their dogs away from sea hares. These marine marvels feed on plants and have a fascinating reproductive process, with individuals possessing both male and female organs and the potential to lay up to 500 million eggs per breeding season.
