Idk if anyone knew, but clownfish are SHRINKING during marine heat waves!!! That way, they can save energy and eat less :0 do you know how they do it? They absorb their own BONE MATTER!! CRAZY!!!

I like talking about our awesome planet, doing engineering, and making music. And of course, DRAGONS!!!🐉🐉🐉
Nature is my tripod :)

wait they shrink during a heat wave and then expand again when temperatures cool down? really?

Yes!!! Crazy, right??? In fact, the shrinking process has unfortunately been happening all over the ocean. In the video I made, I also make the point that commercial fisheries have already been seeing these impacts!

Yah, I’m starting a channel to talk about cool environmental science facts and the latest studies coming out. The video on the shrinking clownfish I made is here :) https://youtube.com/shorts/UkVOAcyYi7U?si=Vtu6mO1u7wH84V1x
