- Acid Rain is Turning Canada’s Lakes to Jelly - There is a war going on between 2 water flea species, & one of them is going down hard. “A lot of things can’t eat these jelly-clad fleas. They're 10 times bigger because they’re encased in this jelly.” http://motherboard.vice.com/read/acid-rain-is-turning-canadas-lakes-to-jelly 66 comments worldnews
- Lakes in the Canadian Shield are slowly becoming “jellified”. In the Canadian Shield, acid rain has reduced the amount of calcium available in lakes, which has allowed a water flea with a big jelly blob on its back to blossom and form large 'goo balls'. http://ottawacitizen.com/technology/science/jellified-lakes-coming-to-canada 14 comments science
