        hover around a chilly 37° Fahrenheit, and the tiny sparks of bioluminescent 
        life forms provide the only light. In this dark, cold world, scientists 
        have discovered a strange new predator - a gelatinous, blood-red jellyfish 
        that can reach up to three meters in diameter. Named <I>Tiburonia granrojo</I> (Spanish for big red), this massive jelly is particularly unusual because 
        it lacks tentacles, which most jellies use to catch their food. Instead, 
        Big Red has between four and seven thick, wrinkled arms.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.calacademy.org/science_now/archive/headline_science/redjelly.php"><P>Although the new jelly has been spotted nearly two dozen times, scientists 
        have only been able to collect one Big Red specimen so far. This specimen 
        - a small juvenile - has been added to the Invertebrate Zoology collection 
        at the California Academy of Sciences, where it will be further studied. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/02FA15B1-BB4A-446D-AF1B-E2714D381C88/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
