Scientists have discovered that a certain species of larvae uses methane to propel itself and it is even possible that this mechanism is accelerating the release of gases into the atmosphere and magnifying global warming. 13 March 2017 press release Endangered giants: large freshwater species among those most threatened with extinction on the planet Freshwater megafauna such as river dolphins, crocodilians and sturgeons play vital roles in their respective ecosystems.
