REMINDER: the part of a comb jelly that looks like a mouth is in fact a mouth

Turns out I do need to clarify that these particular comb jellies are actually not filter feeders :)

these are also the true actual first animal group that’s ever thought to have existed; comb jellies or ctenophores are survivors from the *ediacaran,* the point in time where we can’t even guess what kind of animal most of the fossils are. But, maybe all of them were just wacky shaped comb jellies???? we will never know. this one ate them all.

here are vaguely scientifically feasible animals I would retroactively add to the world:

  • Nasty awful slimy fish that take huge ghastly bites out of people, like a cookie cutter shark, but they like the shore so they’d end up keeping beaches more pristine and untouched by tourists. Let’s also put them in some freshwater places.
  • Huge salamanders that will eat you if you set foot in the swamp, like they’re way way more actively aggressive than crocodilians, but they make way more eggs than they even need and the eggs are so delicious we just throw up our hands and leave most of the wetlands alone for them.
  • Did you know sloths not only have those moths but just way more ticks and parasites than most other mammals? There should be a big giant smelly wretched ground sloth that defends itself by having just so many fleas and lice you can’t go anywhere near it without getting eaten alive. I want this one specifically in North American forests and it loves eating trash so urban sprawl only makes more of them.
  • A tiny barely visible gnat with an exceedingly painful bite that’s resistant to basically all poison and what it likes to lay eggs in is cut grass.
  • A big snail like the african land snails but it’s on every continent and its shell is much thicker with very long very sharp spikes. Mainly the idea here is it would fuck up cars all the time, if we even bothered to invent cars the same way with all these snails everywhere.
  • I showed you guys those giant sea worms the other day that look like intestines and swallow whole huge fish, the giant nemertean worms, well some smaller nemertean worms have a sting that can fuck you up, and some even smaller ones have no sting but live on land. Let’s put one of the giant kinds on land and give it the sting, a real Mongolian Death Worm. No reason, just making life spicier.
  • A whale that really does like to wreck boats and eat everybody on board like the old stories, but maybe it makes enormous amounts of ambergris, just barfs all day and it’s so useful to us as fuel or something that we begrudgingly have to let it be and global colonialism just has to be slower and more tedious because of all the vicious pukewhales.
  • House roaches but they light up in the dark. I’ve said this one before in a similar post but I just think it’d be great if someone’s house could be totally infested with glowing things. We would probably like them or make use of them but could you imagine trying to sleep with them running up and down the walls all night? Ha ha
  • A bird as abundant as the passenger pigeons used to be except that if it dies before old age it releases LARGE amounts of something similar to Thioacetone. That’s a chemical so rancid that one little vial can make several blocks of people sick! No predators would mess with this bird and there’d just be nothing we could do about it, except forever make sure the environment is as healthy for it as possible cause if like ten of them died from pesticide we’d have to evacuate a small state.
  • Freshwater giant starfish that float around on the water’s surface and don’t do much but they’re covered in deadly stingers, like a flower urchin. I choose starfish because we wouldn’t be able to easily kill them without making more. They would just make it a lot harder for people to mess around carelessly in nice rivers and lakes, I think. Make these also resistant to poison. In fact make them filter feeders that would easily clean up pollutants.
  • Even bigger even meaner hornets than the Japanese ones but they’re herbivores that live in careful balance with the trees they nest in, which are most of the trees. Most of the trees in the whole world just have a nest of gigantic hornets that will not hurt anything else, but if you were to, say, cut down or burn a tree, they would be pretty mad.
  • Bigger and even smarter ravens, like harpy eagle size, really remember your face if you’re mean to them and they always tell all the other ones. Can mess you up themselves but maybe they go get one of those starfish and drop it on you.
  • EDITED TO ADD: you all thought the twelve legged sea spider was scary, well I’m gonna put one on land that gets 24 legs and it is as fast as lightning and also it sucks people’s blood if it catches them asleep. Because it’s so thin it could probably be pretty massive like some of those big giant stick insects. It’s not deadly or anything it’d just look cool and keep people on their toes. I would keep one so you could all say things like “ewwww just get a dog!!” No.
