A livestream of endangered marimo balls with Lo-fi tunes and chill vibes! Feel free to stop by to say hello on my main channel @PrepperPup This is the daily, 6-hour livestream of the lovely fuzzy and endangered plants known as Marimo Balls! The purpose of this stream is to provide a relaxing atmosphere and raise awareness for these unique plants. Rules: Keep chat clean and positive! Information: “Marimo” ( 毬藻 まりも ) translates literally to “Ball Water Plant” in Japanese. While a decent description of them, these fuzzy friends are actually balls of endangered algae (Aegagropila linnaei) that form at the bottom of cold-water lakes (originally discovered in Austria, and then in Lake Akan, Japan, where they were named.) They are a protected species in both Japan and Iceland. They were designated a Japanese National Treasure in 1921, and a festival has been held since 1950 in the Lake Akan community to raise awareness and try and preserve the unique algae species.
