A hagfish is not a true fish or an eel; it is its own type of marine life.

Hagfish have existed for over 300 million years, predating dinosaurs. They're considered “living fossils,” giving us a glimpse into early vertebrate evolution.

Climate Change:

It's real.

It's us.

It's serious - and already dangerous.

But there are solutions.

The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.

This warm current influences the climate of Western Europe, leading to significantly milder winters than other regions at similar northern latitudes.
