1/ On a rainy day, water droplets can be seen bouncing and running down an asphalt surface at 25°C. Thermal Leidenfrost or macro-scale Marangoni flows alone cannot explain the required force and time scale here.

A copepod parasite on the outside of a fish, an ectoparasite, has attached and used its mouth part to pierce the outer wall of the fish. That mouth part then wraps around the internal organs of the fish, piercing the digestive tract - feeding on whatever the fish has fed on.

This remarkable video footage gives us the rare opportunity to document a predation event in the deep sea!

This tiny reef fish is a colourful chemical defender! Its electric blue skin comes from unusual pigment cells, while foul smelling mucus helps deter predators.
