Gustav Paulay (Curator at the Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida) told me about these cool amphipods that live on sea urchin spines. Not just on sea urchin spines, but on their own poop strands they shape to extend those spines. And they live there with their kids too. Yes, you read that right. They make poop tightropes to live on with their whole family.

Don’t believe me? Learn more about these little guys here and check out today’s comic!

Thanks Gustav!
