Behold the brilliant bloody-belly comb jelly! While you might think this scarlet sensation stands out in the deep sea, it actually blends in beautifully. Red is the first wavelength of light absorbed as you descend into the depths of the ocean, so crimson-colored animals appear black, making them virtually invisible in the darkness of the deep sea. It’s a super-stealthy way to avoid becoming somebody’s snack. So next time you’re “seeing red,” think of how useful that would be when catching a meal in the deep. #MontereyBayAquarium #BloodyBellyCombJelly #WhoTurnedOutTheLights #CleverCamouflage #WhenWearingRedIsLikeWearingAnInvisibilityCloak #OnFridaysWeWearRed
