POPSEew! The Giant Slime Star Whilst I love the look of jellyfish I can't say I enjoy the "feel" of them. This is not the loveliest looking starfish though, who knows what its "goodness" IS?

POPS'Icy Jellies' The "sea angel" Clione limacina is a naked pteropod, a shell-less snail, and was found in the surface waters, down to 350m. The species also lives in the Antarctic Ocean. Picture courtesy of Kevin Raskoff. ----- Eight more exotic jellyfish may be viewed at the news.bbc.co.uk source. They're quite intriquing.

POPSThis is a Real Rabbit: Alba The Green Bunny This is a true story. Does anyone else remember this? It is only a vague memory in my mind. I think I had dismissed it as a hoax. Rumors were that when the artist took her home, that it had died, but Kac, vehemently denied it. I have raised many, many rabbits, and it never entered my mind to make one colored like this. Genetically speaking of course. Can you imagine the surprise the kids would get on Easter morning when the bunny was more brightly colored than the eggs?!

POPSJapanese fishermen brace for giant jellyfish
"The sheer size of them, individually, makes them fairly spectacular," Graham said. Spectacular, perhaps, to scientists, but perilous to villagers along the Japanese coast who have seen the destructive habits of these colossal creatures in the past. They had giant-jellyfish invasions in 2005 and 2007, and because they've recently been spotted in the Sea of Japan, they're bracing for another, potentially harmful wave this summer. The jellyfish destroy fishermen's nets, getting trapped in them, tearing holes and ruining catches. Fishermen often use expensive mazelike nets that stretch for hundreds of kilometers. When swarms of giant jellyfish tear them, the result is devastating. "Communities of fishermen and these fishing villages own these nets," Graham said. "When these nets get wiped out, it actually has this economic devastation for an entire community." The good news is that previous attacks have prompted Japan to put in place a warning system for fishermen. While they

POPSMosaic Jellyfish Swimming in the Coral Sea This is an image of a mosaic jellyfish. The shot was taken in the Coral Sea, 100 nautical miles off Cairns, Australia. The other images in the clip are mosaics to visualize a jellyfish. Melissa Fiene has more "Underwater" images on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33332218@N05/sets/72157611273467024/

POPSArctic goo isn't Oil--but what ISit? "It's certainly biological," Hasenauer said. "It's definitely not an oil product of any kind. It has no characteristics of an oil, or a hazardous substance, for that matter. "It's definitely, by the smell and the makeup of it, it's some sort of naturally occurring organic or otherwise marine organism." "If it was something we'd seen before, we'd be able to say something about it. But we haven't ...which prompted concerns from the local hunters and whaling captains." The stuff is "gooey" and looks dark against the bright white ice floating in the Arctic Ocean, Brower said. "It's pitch black when it hits ice and it kind of discolors the ice and hangs off of it," Brower said. He saw some jellyfish tangled up in the stuff, and someone turned in what was left of a dead goose -- just bones and feathers -- to the borough's wildlife department. "It kind of has an odor; I can't describe it," he said.
