Jellyfish don’t have brains or a heart.
Before you think they belong in The Wizard of Oz, be aware they don’t have bones either—the stroll down the Yellow Brick Road alone would require a whole new volume. What they do have is a network of nerves, called a nerve net, which allow them to move, swim, and detect temperature. ✎ Prompt: Use a limited color palette of up to 3 colors to reflect the simplicity of how jellyfish function without a brain or heart.

A mantis shrimp punch can crack aquarium glass.
A team of scientists studied the lightning fast movements and even replicated the mechanics in a robot! ✎ Prompt: Show the force of the mantis shrimp’s punch. Add comic-style “POW!” lines or cartoon bursts to objects it might be breaking nearby. Source: Smithsonian Magazine
Octopuses have three hearts.
Two pump blood past the gills, while the other’s job is to circulate blood to the rest of the body. Bonus fact: the heart that’s circulating the blood stops beating when they swim! ✎ Prompt: Add three heart shapes somewhere in your scene. They can be hidden in bubbles, on a rock, or floating in the background. Source: The Natural History Museum
