“Bettas Live In Puddles…”

One of the best and most imaginative books ever written about science and science communication was “After Man: A Zoology of the Future” (1981), which guessed, based on what we know about the laws of evolution, what the future would look like millions of years from now when humans are extinct.

I would look at this one in the library, and just read it for hours. My favorite is the idea the humble rat would diversify into a thousand species, including huge predators, and that eventually, an island would be settled by flying bats, who then diversify into dozens of roles, including ground-walking echolocation predators.

This is Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary. The sanctuary protects a vibrant live-bottom reef, which harbors an abundance of invertebrates and more than 200 species of fish!
