UNREAL! In a hair-raising breakthrough, we've successfully hatched the "extinct" wooly sunfish! Full story: mbayaq.co/2WAIbct 
“We’re so excited to finally let our hair down about this research,” said Harriett Topay, the lead scientist on the project. “After numerous firsts in raising comb jellies, we knew we were groomed for success with the wooly sunfish.”
“It was a close shave with extinction for the Woola," said Will Koife, one of our wooly sunfish aquarists. "We’ll see if they can make the cut this time."
To be fair, we've had our critics: “This research is really fringe, and not in a good way,” said Dr. E.N. Malcomb, a notable de-extinction buzzkill. “I don’t want to split hairs on ethics, but with the Woola, there’s been a lotta coulda, and not a lotta shoulda.”
Hey thanks everyone for playing along yesterday. Yes, this is an April Fool's joke, the Woola woola isn't real—but the Mola mola is! See if you can spot these hairless wonders on our Open Sea live cam: mbayaq.co/2IFdwc3
