What the Actual Hell is this?

"Some abyssal species in the abyssal order Elasipodida have evolved to a "benthopelagic" behaviour: their body is nearly the same density as the water around them, so they can make long jumps (up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft) high), before falling slowly back to the ocean floor."

Since my mind cannot comprehend something like that, they jump and kind of glide with/through the current (water) and then after 1 km they start falling?

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

from what I gathered they are close to the density to water making them ALMOST able to float on it but are slightly more dence, so when they jump its kinda like jumping in a low gravity environment (not exactly cause there is still earths gravity but a close enough comparison)

If something underwater is perfectly buoyant, that is the weight of the water they displace is exactly equal to their own weight, then they're effectively weightless, meaning they can just float around, therefore allowing you to "jump" a really long distance.

Also @Nexxus that's fucking awesome, thanks for sharing that cool fact :D

YOU FOOLS!

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

it's either a manufacture logo, or someone at the company had decided to put a easter egg on it. The only OEM I know so far are Foxconn and Lotes, and they don't have that logo in their ethernet ports. What laptop is it?
