martinezlaura+FollowLake Huron’s mysterious ‘gummy bear’ revealedA massive, jelly-like blob recently spotted in Lake Huron isn’t a sci-fi monster or a pile of frog eggs—it’s actually a colony of ancient creatures called bryozoans! These ‘magnificent bryozoans’ are made up of thousands of tiny animals working together, cleaning the water and supporting the lake’s ecosystem. Even though they look bizarre, they’re a sign of a healthy environment. It’s wild to think about the hidden worlds thriving right beneath the surface of our lakes. Have you ever seen something strange while out on the water? What do you think these discoveries say about our connection to nature? #Science #LakeHuron #NatureDiscovery00Share
Tanya Jackson+FollowMassive invasive fish shakes up Lake HuronA giant grass carp—one of the largest ever seen—was just pulled from Lake Huron, raising alarms for everyone who loves our lakes. Even though this one can’t reproduce, grass carp are notorious for devouring underwater plants, muddying the water, and threatening local fish and bird species. Just a handful can wipe out wetlands and make swimming less enjoyable. With only a few found in Canadian waters so far, officials are ramping up patrols and asking anyone who spots these fish to report them immediately. Have you ever seen unusual wildlife in our lakes? Let’s talk about what this means for our community! #Pets #LakeHuron #InvasiveSpecies10Share
