A Very Tough Squirt
The species of sea squirt called the Didemnum is an example of evolution in action. It has a higher acidic protective coating, reproduces and spreads several times faster than any other known variety, and has no known predators.
Biologists are concerned that this critter may destroy many of ecologies in the Atlantic Ocean. Click here for full article at Science News.
I find it interesting that scientists are concerned about stopping this creature's spread. Who ever said that biology should be static and predictable?
