In den aktuellen Klimanews wird berichtet, dass steigende Meerestemperaturen möglicherweise große Raubhaie in die Nordsee zurückbringen könnten, eine Studie die unterschätzte Klimawirkung von Mikroplastik in der Luft untersucht, der Klimawandel das Schlaganfallrisiko erhöhen kann und ein Konzept zur "defensiven Wiederverwilderung" entwickelt wurde, um natürliche Barrieren zur Verbesserung von Klimaschutz und Sicherheitspolitik zu nutzen. #ClimateChange #MarineLife #Microplastics
A study of jaw fossils discovered in Japan and Canada suggests that giant octopuses may have existed as colossal predators in the Cretaceous seas while dinosaurs ruled the land, challenging the prevailing view of marine ecosystems during that era. #MarineLife #Paleontology #Cephalopods #JP #CA
A study of jaw fossils found in Japan and Canada suggests that giant octopuses may have dominated the Cretaceous seas, reaching lengths of up to 20 meters and occupying top positions in the marine food chain during the era of dinosaurs, challenging the prevailing view that large marine reptiles were the primary predators of that time. #Fossils #MarineLife #Paleontology #JP #CA
Rescuers successfully freed a stranded humpback whale on Germany's Baltic coast after several days of attempts, enabling the 12 to 15-meter long whale to begin its journey back to the sea and eventually to the Atlantic Ocean. #WhaleRescue #MarineLife #Conservation
