Praya dubia is an active swimmer that attracts its prey with bright blue bioluminescent light. [15] When it finds itself in a region abundant with food, it holds its position and deploys a curtain of tentacles covered with nematocysts which produce a powerful, toxic sting that can paralyze or kill prey that happen to bump into it.

[27] [28] For example, most extinct animals' coloration and patterning are unknown from fossil evidence, but these can be plausibly restored in illustration based on known aspects of the animal's environment and behavior, as well as inference based on function such as thermoregulation, species recognition, and camouflage.
The common name of gaikotsu-panda-hoya (ガイコツパンダホヤ, translated as "skeleton panda sea squirt" or "skeleton panda ascidian") was given to the animal by Japanese internet users after the first pictures were shared online.
They are more-or-less cup-shaped animals, ranging from 10 to 30 centimetres (3.9 to 11.8 in) in height, with sturdy skeletons made of glass-like silica spicules, fused to form a lattice. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In some glass sponges such as members of the genus Euplectela , these structures are aided by a protein called glassin.
The most important metric for understanding the anatomy of a fossil animal is the types of bones. The completeness statistics for Dreadnoughtus schrani are as follows: 116 bones out of ~256 in the entire skeleton (including the skull) = 45.3% complete; 115 bones out of ~196 in the skeleton (excluding the skull) = 58.7% complete

The documentary was filmed at the Natural History Museum, London, and uses CGI imagery to bring life to several of the extinct animal skeletons in the museum, including Archaeopteryx, the giant moa and Haast's eagle, Gigantopithecus (contrasting prevailing expert opinion; presented as bipedal and more hominin than pongine), Glossotherium ...
