...This warmth acts as a natural incubator for the giant eggs, which span 18 to 20 inches in width and require an extended gestation period of four years.

This unique environment accelerates the development of young Pacific white skates, giving them a vital advantage in the harsh conditions of the deep sea. The interaction between the volcano and marine life demonstrates the profound influence geological features can have on biological processes...

The eggs are from these flappy guys:

Little sea raviolis.

Is that a dragon larvae? Do you know how long does it take to fully metamorphosize into actual movie-like fancy dragons?

[-] littletoolshed@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

That is a pacific skate, and that is the adult form!

Yeah I stopped reading once it said that weird pic was AI generated. If you want me to read your science article, don’t throw shitty AI images at me because now I have to think ‘what else did you use AI for?’

Yeah the whole article including the headline -- "terrifying"?? -- is 98% slop. Depressing.

The news is cool, but that image is just AI nonsense.

I wish there was a good way to let publications know we feel that way. So they know is that we clicked.

I'm surprised they even used it. It doesn't make sense.

Here are a bunch of pics of skate eggs: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Egg_cases_(Chondrichthyes)

And just fyi, this AI enhanced article is referencing an actual thing, but the images n the article are trash and so are some of the inferences. Here is the summary video from the source: https://youtu.be/e9nM7B_d13A

Thanks! I had so many questions the LLM didn't answer.

The discovery of the skate eggs surrounding the vents (not exactly volcanoes) happened in 2019. More recent was the video of a skate laying eggs.

Great stuff! Unfortunate reporting.

Learn to fuckin learn. Don't use a LLM to do the thinking for you.

"...thousands of giant eggs from the elusive Pacific white skate."

[-] janNatan@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

It's so awful that these are harvested for skate boards. Are those sick ollies really worth it?

Who can put a price on being radical?
