Exciting news for the cute shark lovers of the world! We finally have a recorded sighting of a baby great white shark, likely only a few hours old.
The question of where great white sharks give birth still remains a mystery to this day but this footage may suggest the coasts of California, where the footage was taken, are a site where these sharks give birth.

On the hunt for eggs today? The banded jawfish (Opistognathus macrognathus) has a mouthful! Banded jawfish dads-to-be carry eggs in their mouth. This behavior—which helps protect offspring from predators—is known as mouthbrooding. To attract females, males do a “dance” that involves a series of sweeping movements and fin-flashing. They even open their mouths as wide as possible to boast their mouthbrooding potential!

Would you still love us if we were a worm? 🥺👉👈

What’s cuter than sharing? Sharing is caring, after all, and no other muddy buddy does that better than the fat innkeeper worm (Urechis caupo). These seafloor superheroes burrow in the soft sediment of estuaries and earn their name by providing shelter, food, and even running water for their fellow members of the muck, like pea crabs, ghost shrimp, scale worms, and arrow gobies. They’re also a source of food for many other animals including leopard sharks and sea otters!

Any fun facts about basking sharks? (Really big sea puppies)
Tumblr media
Cetorhinus maximus or Basking Shark
These are the second largest shark and fish in the world (after the whale shark), they can grow to be 12 m (40 ft) long!
Also like whale sharks, they're ram filter feeders. This means that to catch prey, they simply open their mouths, swim forward, and catch whatever happens to get in their way! This is why they (and other ram filter feeders) tend to have such large mouths. The basking sharks mouth can be up to 1 m (3ft wide).
Tumblr media
While sharks are mostly thought to be solitary creatures, a lot of species do school and the basking shark is one of them! They're usually divided by sex (except during periods of mating), and schools of over 100 females have been spotted!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And probably the coolest fact about them- THEY CAN JUMP OUT OF THE WATER. Despite weighing around 5,000 kg (approx. 11,000 lbs) they can breach 1.2 m (4 ft) into the air! It's believed they do this as a method to remove parasites.

Every year around Valentines day, heart-shaped sea glass washes up on the shores of beaches everywhere. No cookie can explain this odd phenomena—although plenty of superstitions have formed around them.
Some say if a couple find one together, they will blessed with everlasting love; others say the colour can indicate how the relationship will go.
Although no one truly knows why it happens, the sea glass is pretty, so why look a gift horse in the mouth.

Contrary to popular belief, not all sharks are carnivorous. The bonnethead shark (a member of the hammerhead sharks) was recently discovered to be omnivorous, including seagrass in their diet.

town gossip
Wally Darling x Reader
Warnings: Frank getting sucked back into helping Wally with the obstacles of his relationship, haha!
although it is not necessary, I highly suggest reading my fics in their recommended order for the best experience! here is the link to all my silly lil wally fics in order. this is #9 :)
News spread quickly about you and Wally, but what actually are you?
“Would you mind throwing a Red Delicious in there too please, Howdy?” 
You stood at the till of Howdy’s place, buying a snack for yourself, figuring grabbing one for Wally for the next time you see him would be a good idea.
“Ahh, a Red Delicious, hmm?” He hummed, a grin playing at his features as you plucked the best looking apple you could spot from the crate.
“Yes, please,” you nodded, a little wary by his tone, looking back at him after examining the apple. “And what do I owe you, kind sir?” You jested, eyeing him suspiciously as he leaned over the counter, two arms resting on it as a hand supported his chin while the other two crossed before his stomach.
“How about an answer to some… town gossip, I’ve picked up on?”
Ah.
You think you saw where this is going.
He seemed to know you understood by the rosiness of your cheeks.
“... News travels fast around here, huh?” you uttered sheepishly, toying with your fingers.
“It’s true then, isn’t it?” He cackled, “You and Wally finally got together?”
You opened your mouth to speak your defense, only to pause.
Wait a minute…
Together…
Were you two actually together yet?
Howdy quirked a brow at the sudden dumbfounded expression taking over your face.
“Why, you are together, aren’tcha?” He questioned, brows furrowing as your conflicted eyes met his.
Are you?
“... that’s actually a good question,”
“Oh?” He questioned. “Ohhh..?” his head slowly bobbed up and down as a nod, beginning to grasp slightly onto the situation. “But you are both aware of each other's feelings?”
“That, I will say, we are,” you agreed. “However, I sorta never thought about giving us a proper title…” You trailed on.
“Well, I’d suggest you get on it, then! Might as well get it said instead of stuck inside your head! Say, why not take some flowers for him, hmm?” His hands folded together, a smile on his features. 
“Free, on the house!” He grabbed an arrangement of red, orange, and yellow tulips, thrusting them towards you. You nearly wheezed at the force, accepting them.
“Thank you for your business, neighbour,” He gave you a playful wink, “‘n go get ‘em, tiger!” he gave a thumbs up. Four, actually. Extra good luck!
“Thank you, Howdy,” you rolled your eyes with a laugh at his comment, heading out of the store with new questions on your mind.
How were you to go about this, now?
“So, little buddy,” 
Barnaby and Wally strolled along, the big blue dog gazing down at his companion.
“Hmm?” Wally hummed, meeting his eyes.
“I’ve heard a little rumour about you,” Barnaby claimed, trying to gauge Wally’s reaction. 
“Oh yeah?” Wally inquired curiously, “What would that be?”
“I heard that you and a certain someone have finally gotten together,” 
Wally began to answer, but hesitated.
“‘Gotten together’...” Wally repeated, looking a little lost. Then, he paused, head tipping to the side.
“... Little buddy?” Barnaby stopped a few steps ahead, turning towards his friend.
“Are we together now?” Wally quizzed himself, tapping his chin in thought, Barnaby’s eyes widening in realization.
“Wait, aren’tcha?”
“... I think I’d better pay Frank and Eddie a visit,” Wally decided, offering an apologetic smile to his friend. “Sorry, Barnaby,” he spun on his heel, headed toward the couple’s shared home.
“... huh.”
“Just when I thought I was free of this stress,” 
Frank rubbed at his forehead, Eddie chuckling behind him, patting his back.
“It’s no big deal this time,” Eddie said, “I’ve got this one under control. I already came up with an idea, actually! As long as you’re willing to spare some of the flowers from the garden,”
Wally watched the two, especially focussed on the way they interacted. The touch they shared. The same that he desired with you.
Eddie’s hand moved from Frank’s back, settling wrapped around his waist instead. Ooh, he could do that with you!
“What are you thinking?” Frank questioned, peeking at Eddie.
“Well, I reckon Wally should take ‘em on a picnic,” he said. “Take some flowers to their door and propose the idea,” he continued.
“‘Course, I’m fairly sure they’ll say yes. Treat ‘em to a nice meal out under a pretty tree, and bring it up by the end!” Eddie explained. 
Frank tapped his chin in contemplation, nodding with a hum.
“I quite like that idea. Nice and casual, I don’t believe much could go wrong,” he agreed. “What do you think about that, Wally? Do you like that plan, or would you like to give something else an attempt?”
“I think I like the sounds of that,” Wally nodded slowly, contemplating. “Yes. I think that sounds nice,” he decided, more confident now.
He had this in the bag!
frank and eddie always to the rescue, it seems! I hope you enjoyed, haha!
here is a link to my silly lil wally fics in their recommended order if you would like :) these can also be found on my ao3 B) I also have a ko-fi if you'd like to support me!
likes and reblogs are always appreciated! also! check out this awesome art made for sleepy phone call! SO COOL! 'tis all, for now! I shall be back B) have a good day, and take care of yourself!

I feel like there could be so many cool Daycare Attendant AUs if you merged one cool idea you had with a mer AU. I think every DCA AU should have a background AU where Sun and Moon are additionally also a fish, just as a treat. Oh, a steampunk AU? Steampunk fish. A space AU? Space fish. A swap AU? Swap fish. A horror AU? Horror fish. An emotional support AU? Emotional support fish. Mermay did irreparable damage to me
