After the 4pm news... another marvel of evolution! Our oceans guy Boris Worm tells Jeff about the discovery of 60-million icefish whose nests occupying 240-square-kilometers of the ocean floor off Antarctica. And this is weird -- they have clear blood. Boris explains why.

Humans are now using 1/3 of all vertebrates on Earth - almost 15,000 species. This makes us consume up to 300 times more prey items than other comparable carnivore. First study of its kind estimates ecological effects of 'super-predation' Chris Darimont nature.com/articles/s4200…
