How do you find a mate in the vast blue desert of the ocean? A fish could swim for months and when they finally stumble upon a member of their species, they turn out to be the same sex. Evolution has endowed more than 500 species of fish with a cunning solution: switch sex to complement your new partner – whatever their sex may be.

Needless to say the animated movie takes more than a pinch of artistic licence. These monogamous reef dwellers set up home together in an anemone, whose stinging tentacles offer the couple, and their eggs, protection.

Update: The orange lobster died during molting and was not delivered to Fort Rickey, officials told the Observer-Dispatch a few weeks after this story was first published. The Tops Market in Manlius is donating a rare orange lobster that came into its store in a shipment to Fort Rickey Discovery Zoo in Rome.  Store officials said the rare lobster came into the store during a routine shipment of lobsters that was received Fourth of July weekend.   Joe Rizzo, general manager of the Tops store in Manlius, said the store's seafood department thought someone had shipped them a cooked lobster at first, as lobsters do not normally turn an orangish red color unless cooked.  "They took it out and found out it was alive," Rizzo said.  Rizzo said the seafood department researched the lobster's rarity online and found out an orange lobster is roughly one in 30 million.  It is believed the bright orange color makes the lobster stick out

ENGLEWOOD — The abrupt nature of NFL cut day remains jarring. Roughly 860 players around the league were told they did not fit on a roster. Some will find spots with new teams and up to 16 per club can wiggle onto practice squads, including six veterans. Most will not land elsewhere. For too many, with no minor league available, Tuesday marks the end of the journey. It is a reminder that the NFL is a business, one as sympathetic as a parking ticket. The Broncos' cuts began trickling in on Tuesday morning in advance of the 2 p.m. deadline. Denver general manager George Paton made a bold stroke in the morning, trading outside linebacker Malik Reed and a 2023 seventh round pick to the Steelers in exchange for a 2023 sixth-rounder. And the notable moves? The team cut backup quarterback Josh Johnson, receiver Kendall Hinton and defensive tackle McTelvin Agim. A former 2020 third-round draft pick under the previous coaching staff and general manager, Agim finished with a

A whopping 20 seasons in, with another set to air this fall, FOX's long-running "Hell's Kitchen" reality cooking series has spawned a franchise for superstar chef Gordon Ramsay that now includes four restaurants whose design and menu are modeled after the set and most famous dishes from the hit television show. The latest location of Hell's Kitchen opens Friday, August 12 at Harrah's Resort SoCal and is the largest so far, at 332 seats with a bar, lounge, two private dining rooms, and two chef's tables. Although Ramsay isn't guaranteed to attend the restaurant's grand opening this summer, a rep for the restaurant tells Eater that the chef is confirmed to make a visit in November. An outpost at Caesars Palace won a design award from Eater Vegas in 2018, and diners can expect to see much of the stagecraft and key features from the Las Vegas restaurant at the new Valley Center outpost, from its iconic bronze HK sign to a reoccurring pitchfork moti

Clams have been a source of food in the Americas since the indigenous tribes of the New England area began harvesting clam flats up and down the shore long before the Europeans invaded. According to The Mudflat, the Wabanaki people especially relied on clams to make a living through both their sale and consumption. Despite the fact that clams existed along the European coastline, it is believed that clam chowder was not created until the seventeenth century when French sailors, who were shipwrecked along the East Coast, threw the shellfish into a chaudière — or cauldron — which is where we get the name "chowder" (via Britannica). Because it was an easy meal to prepare and does an excellent job warding off the winter chill, European Americans relied on the chowder to fill their bellies and give them the protein and fiber they needed to survive. Lobster Anywhere claims that clam chowder became wildly popular by 1751 when the Boston Evening Post published the very f

Marco Gaoitti Over 100 photographers are coming together for the return of Prints for Wildlife, a campaign to sell limited numbers of wildlife photo prints to benefit the conservation of non-profit African parks. Last year, Prints for Wildlife raised $1.75 million through 15,000 unique wildlife prints to support conservation in African parks through two print sales, and the organization says it is returning in 2022 with an even larger mission. "The goal of this year's fundraiser is to support the growth of African Parks and the addition of new parks to their portfolio. African Parks currently manages 20 parks in 11 countries across Africa, including Kafue (Zambia), Akagera (Rwanda) and Liwonde (Malawi) National Parks, in partnership with governments for the benefit of local communities and wildlife — the largest and most ecologically diverse portfolio of protected areas in Africa under management by any one conservation organization," Prints for Wildlife says.

With flashy colors, iridescent scales, and long fins that flow around them like underwater ball gowns, betta fish are some of the most eye-catching creatures you might see for sale at a pet store or flea market. They're cheap, too—the fish are sold for as little as $2 each. It may seem tempting to buy these little gems as captivating, swimming decorations. But living animals aren't decorations, and some animal welfare advocates are concerned that the betta's reputation as an "easy" pet is exaggerated. Critics argue that such popularity and misconceptions about their care and biology can lead to them being some of the most commonly mistreated fish in the pet trade. A new campaign by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) aims to highlight the problems with betta sales and ownership, so National Geographic is taking a closer look. Is it hard to keep a betta? There are no "easy" pets, but to be fair, bettas are easier to care for than many other
