Looking for a light and delightful meal? These Zucchini Salmon Fritters with zesty Lemon Dill Sauce are sure to impress! Ingredients: - 2 medium zucchinis, grated - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 can (14.75 ounces) wild-caught salmon, drained and flaked - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour - 1 large egg - 1/4 cup green onions, chopped - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - For Lemon Dill Sauce: - 1/2 cup sour cream - 1 tablespoon fresh dill - Juice of 1 lemon - Salt, to taste Directions: 1. In a large bowl, toss the grated zucchini with the salt and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps to draw out excess moisture. Once rested, give it a good squeeze to remove any liquid from the zucchini. 2. To the bowl, add in the flaked salmon, flour, egg, green onions, and black pepper. Mix everything together until it’s well combined; it should be a nice, thick batter. 3. Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the skillet, gently flattening them to form fritters. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they're beautifully golden brown and crispy. 4. For that delicious lemon dill sauce, simply whisk together the sour cream, fresh dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth. 5. Serve your warm fritters with a generous dollop of the lemon dill sauce on the side. Enjoy every bite!

Uber gone wild

A 2022 study published in the journal PLOS ONE by researchers from the University of Sydney and other institutions documented wild octopuses (species Octopus tetricus) in Australia throwing shells, silt, and algae using their siphons. This "throwing" is a rare example of tool use among invertebrates and was seen mostly among females. The researchers noticed that females, particularly during mating interactions, were more likely to direct these throws at males who were harassing them or attempting repeated copulations. While not all throws hit their target, many were deliberate and forceful. In some cases, males altered their behavior afterward, suggesting the act served as a deterrent. This study highlights octopus intelligence, social behavior, and even their capacity for what might resemble frustration or social control. It challenges the earlier belief that octopuses are mostly solitary and non-communicative.

The blue whale’s heart is the largest known in the animal kingdom — so massive that a human could crawl through its arteries. At over 1,000 pounds and nearly the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, this powerful organ beats with a force strong enough to circulate 60 gallons of blood in a single pump, fueling a body that can grow over 100 feet long and weigh up to 200 tons. Despite its size, the blue whale’s heart has an incredible adaptation: during deep dives, its heartbeat slows to just 2 beats per minute to conserve oxygen. This biological marvel reflects the astonishing scale and efficiency of the blue whale’s circulatory system — a reminder of the ocean’s unmatched giants and the extremes life can reach in the deep. #BlueWhale #OceanGiants #WildlifeFacts #MarineBiology #AnimalAnatomy
