Dolphins like to get high on pufferfish neurotoxins. When in group, they attack a pufferfish, then "pass it around" like some kind of undersea joint.

It actually is, with peer reviewed papers and even documentaries describing this behaviour.

I know, because I often get high with dolphins.

There is a worm that bores into the bones in whale carcasses, called a bone eating snot flower.

They have no mouths or stomachs but have feathery plumes that absorb the nutrients.

Not strictly true! I saw a video once of a guy on a boat deck who had caught a little basking shark in its net. The shark tried to bite him on the deck before they threw it back

Indeed. Being a non-native English speaker, I do it a lot to check my spelling/grammar. And to appear smarter quoting things I did not read.

Only if the hydrothermal vent is providing a source of iron. They can do it with other metals too.

Basking sharks dont have teeth, they eat plankton.

A sad factoid now: The Blobfish was first discovered in 2003 and is the present mascot for the Ugly Animal Preservation Society.

Tragically, there are only an estimated 420 of them left in the wild as their numbers have been decimated through inadvertently overfishing them (they frequently become trapped in deep trawl nets)

They can indeed! They're my favourite gastropod. Except maybe nudibranchs, they're pretty awesome.

"Dr Seuss invented the word nerd"

Many people mispronounce the name Seuss.

In fact a good friend of his (Alexander Liang) wrote this poem about it..

"You’re wrong as the deuce

And you shouldn’t rejoice

If you’re calling him Seuss.

He pronounces it Soice (or Zoice)."
