This school of scalloped hammerheads was not a sight we expected to see, but what a sight it was! Experts are actually unsure why scalloped hammerheads school, but some theorize they school this way as juveniles, and continue the behavior into young adulthood!

Enough depressurized blobfish. I'm here to spread living blobfish propaganda.

Look at them. Gorgeous. Wonderful. Living comfortably at depths to over 1,200 meters in the ocean. Be nice to them.

My hot take is that finding blobfish that have been brought on land "cute" is gross and weird. If you actually love blobfish, you should love the fish and not pictures of its bloated, depressurized corpse.
Look at this lad thriving in the depths. Let him be happy.

Close encounters!
My beautiful koi betta Bisby has had a jumping spider neighbor taking advantage of her tank light to hunt bugs under for some time, and recently they met face to face! Very happy to capture each of them acknowledging the other - and Bisby's quick look back at me as if to say "you're seeing this too right?!" 🧡
Edit ✨️ For all those concerned, yes, she does have a lid! I'd just cleaned and was hanging out right there where I filmed from at my office desk. If you are new to fish keeping, please invest in a good lid or when picking setups, favor tank kits that include one!

the fact that I will never truly know what it’s like to be a shark in a shark cuddle pile is cruel and unusual punishment.

Leucistic green sea turtle from the Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga (x)
Tumblr media
Leucism causes animals to have less pigmentation. This differs from albinism, which is the complete loss of pigmentation.
