| * Most animations were written and directed by Rich Palmer, and programmed by Heather Kroening. Heather wrote, directed and programmed the hydrozoan & scyphozoan life cycles.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To play these animations, you need to download the .swf file to your device and then open the .swf file in a video player application like (Elmedia Video Player for Mac) or (ruffle for PC). |
** To use the key to the study images most effectively, open a second window in your browser and to view the key and the study image at the same time (assuming your monitor is large enough!). |
