Since the coelacanth is on a role, how about...

West Indian Ocean Coelacanth

🆚️

Indonesian Coelacanth

Been saving this ask for a rainy day, and as I prepare for working on a new ballot may as well break it out!

#:( #I did a poll like this once #was expecting L. chalumnae to sweep but menadoensis pulled through by just over a percent #I love both species equally of course #that being said #this is the I lived bitch beatdown #and I think chalumnae (west indian ocean coelacanth) has an edge by virtue of being the first to be rediscovered #back in december 1938 #since that’s kind of the ultimate I lived bitch reveal that shocked the world #coelacanth #i love coelacanths

I hate that I’m always trying to find cool biology themed stuff to wear but all the “nature inspired” clothing companies just have like two crossed arrows or a minimalistic mountain on a sweatshirt. Fucking lame, that’s barely even nature-adjacent. Put the life cycle of a salamander on a jacket, put hyena skeleton patterns on leggings, put a damn field guide of birds of prey on a peacoat and THEN you can have my money. Do NOT give me a shirt with a leaf on it that says “stay wild” or some bullshit I would much prefer clothing that broadcasts to everyone around me how many teeth an adult Jaguar has or how some pitcher plants can catch and digest rats.

#im obsessed w everything on the umvvelt website but i have. no money for any of it #what I wouldn’t give for the coelacanth society and oarfish organization hoodies though

Leatherback sea turtles are the largest turtles in the world and existed at the same time as dinosaurs.

Yet despite surviving for millennia, endangered leatherbacks can't endure humanity's assault on the world's oceans much longer. It's estimated that leatherback populations have declined by 40 percent over the past three generations. It's clear they need a lifeline. Last week alongside our allies, we filed a legal petition urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to revise protected critical habitat for the leatherback sea turtle under the Endangered Species Act. Species with federally protected critical habitat are more than twice as likely to recover as species without it.
