Ey/Em and They/Them, love for Spec Evo all the way. I need people to dig up the arabian peninsula so I can give the finger to the Tethys ocean.

Yea i sure do love fresh water fish! Eels, fake eels who are actually catfish, otters, some sharks, angler fish, turtles, snakes, cetaceans, pinnipeds, other snakes more suited for aquatic life, lizards, Crocodiles, birds and other fish that live in the water!

Though I don't think water can spoil for there to be "fresh" water in the first place so all water is fresh to me :3

sea creature of the day is the wolf eel i love these silly fellas!!! they are very beautiful to me

okay but this is a power move above any other

It gets even better, because he was doing all of this on a pitch black night. This dude swam towards a lure, slapped at it with his glove, and when it got caught; he let himself float and tugged on the line so the fisherman thought he had hooked a 100+ pound salmon. Once he was finally up to the shore, he turned a flashlight on in the guy’s face and walked out of the water, saying “good morning, gentlemen. State fish and game warden, you’re under arrest.“

At this point, the guy who had reeled him in had literally fallen over in shock, and the other people with him were scared shitless. The warden whipped some citations out of a plastic bag in his wetsuit, made the trespassers sign them, asked if they had any questions, and then gathered all of their fishing gear. And he just. Walked back into the river. And quietly swam away, without another word.

This man is a legend.

Daily fish fact #518

Salamanderfish (Lepidogalaxias salamandroides)!

Also called a Shannon mudminnow. It is a small fish that is the only species not only in its genus, but in its family and order too! They possess some great characteristics that no other fish share, like having a flexible neck that can be bent in a right angle. It inhabits very acidic waters which often dry up completely for parts of the year. The salamanderfish survives this by burrowing in sand and going dormant in a state of aestivation!

consider the sperm whale and the squid. an ancient rivalry that dates back millions of years. we know the whales eat the squids. we know the squids do not make it easy for them. we know this because of the scars the whales carry, scars on the outside of their body, and on the inside as well. how badly must you want something to endure wounds inside your mouth? inside your gut?

consider the whale, who is harmed by what sustains her. consider the squid, whose flesh is soft and delicious but refuses to go down easy.

So, you guys remember mininykus, right? My little spec dinosaur I made a few months back. Here’s a link to the original post

Well, I was wondering what to do with my birthday cash, and I saw on Twitter the awesome artist Lyn Joyce had their coms open. So I put two and two together, and had a very epic idea….

…and a few days ago, that epic idea arrived to my house!!!

Say hello to…

Mininykus! But real!!!

I can’t say enough how happy I am with how this turned out!! The pose is great, the fluff is great, the face is great, everything’s so great!! This was definitely the best thing I’ve ever spent my money on.

Like ragghhhhhh I want to dress him up in little hats and a scarf maybe!!! Like a weird dog-mom urge. Just to cute

And yes, I introduced him to the chickens. Max was apprehensive, but I think they’d make good friends!! (Joke obviously, he is staying safe in my room haha)

Anyways that’s pretty much it, hopefully you guys will appreciate him as much as I do :) and again, go check out the artist!!
