What if you stared at an axolotl in an aquarium, and it stared back, and over time you realized that you were staring at yourself, because you had transformed into an axolotl and were now inside the fish tank, and the axolotl had become you? That would be fucked up, wouldn't it?

Weirdo Wednesday

Welcome back! On this week’s Weirdo Wednesday let me introduce...

The Blue Glaucus: Glaucus Atlanticus

The blue dragon, the sea swallow, the blue angel, all better names in my opinion but I’m not here to judge the names of marine organisms. The blue glaucus is a 3cm long nudibranch found in the warm tropical areas of the Pacific, Atlantic, and the Indian Oceans. Its dazzling colors are an example of countershading, a form of camouflage that works with the sun’s rays. That coupled with its small size makes this weirdo near impossible to see in the water. It looks more like a Pokemon than a slug with its 6 limbs, flattened body, and long fingers, which are called cerata. AND its more often found floating near the surface, soaring over the ocean below it like a blue dragon, because of air bubbles in its stomach!

The mighty Blue Dragon

Where do I even begin with this weirdo. First of all, a group of them is called a blue fleet! The blue glaucus only lives for a year, but they’re here for a good time, not a long time. They are venomous, but they don’t produce the venom themselves. How to they acquire it? From their prey. These tiny weirdos go after the Portuguese man o’ war; a large, surface dwelling relative of the jellies! The blue glaucus feeds on their prey and saves their nematocysts, or their stinging cells, for later use. The venom concentrates in their ceratae, making them more venomous than their prey by a long shot, and the venom stays even after they die. Feeding on the man o’ war is also where the blue glaucus get’s its lovely colors from, a trait they share with other nudibranchs.

But wait there’s more

This is a time to talk about their mating habits, because if you think this small slug can’t possibly eat a whole jelly, then you’d be sometimes right. They recycle the leftovers by using it to store their fertilized eggs so that they can float to a new habitat. The blue glaucus is hermaphroditic, meaning it can be both male and female (has eggs and sperm), but it still needs a mate for reproduction. Mating takes some time as they must be careful not to sting each other. We’re still learning about how they mate, but because both are male and female, there is evidence to suggest that both glaususes are giving sperm and leave with fertilized eggs! Despite this efficient mating style, the blue glaucus is endangered mostly due to people thinking they would make good pets. While I still have your attention, I ask you to look at what this weirdo eats, and where it lives, and how much venom it contains, and really think about whether or not this is a good aquarium fish, or it if should just continue to dazzle the sea.

𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲: Marine biology researchers study the incredible diversity of life in the oceans, from microscopic plankton to massive whales, and everything in between. 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐟𝐬: Research on coral reefs focuses on understanding the ecology of these fragile and biodiverse ecosystems, as well as the threats they face from factors like climate change, ocean acidification, and overfishing.

ATTENTION: AQUARIUM WORKERS

i have a writing project idea that i wish to place in an aquarium (job setting/main setting)

can you help a guy out since i have no clue how the job actually works and i would really like to know (also like how it is working with coworkers, the jobs you can do inside an aqaurium, etc.)

i also want to be a marine biologist as a career so this will help me in two ways lmao

Viví Loves Science by Kimberly Derting is the latest in a series that includes the picture books Libby Loves Science, Cece Loves Science, and several early reader books. I adore these books for how they normalize and celebrate girls and POC in STEM, and their genuine excitement as they explore science in hands-on experiments and experiences. In this title, Vivi is overjoyed to go to the aquarium with her class. When she wonders how fish can float when they swim, the guide introduces her class to a marine biologist, who explains and shows, using a balloon, how a fish's swim bladder works to increase and decrease their density so they can float and sink. The book, like the others in its series, provides instructions on the back for how kids can do the experiment themselves! Love the inquiry, collaboration, and fascination with science in this book! #earlyreaderbooks #earlyreaders #icanread #weneeddiversebooks #childrensbookillustration #childrensbiographies #girlsinsteam #girlsinstem #librariansofinstagram #schoollibrarian #teacherlibrarian #teachersofinstagram #primaryschool #primaryteacher #diversebooksmatter #childrensbooks #steambooks #marinebiologist #marinebiology https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQX8m5MqKl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#TBT @dawn_munden_s (7 years ago) I am amazed how an artist like you is slowly becoming a scientist who watches and preserves our oceans and their ecosystem. I couldn’t be prouder, I admire you! And even if those oceans separate us physically, they do link us spiritually. This is an “enterprise” you are undertaking, to my eyes this is huge and it deeply touch my heart! 💕🐬🐟🦈 #doppleganger #marinebiology #marinebiologist #daughter #ocean #goal #love https://www.instagram.com/p/CeOb4tfOS8k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Vet!Yuu: Sorry professor, but we are staging an intervention.

Nurse!Yuu: You can't date our aunt.

Marine Biologist!Yuu: It's for the best.

Crewel: Come on pups, we are both adults. What's wrong with that?

Nurse!Yuu: She will eat you alive.

Crewel: I hope so.

Marine Biologist!Yuu: She drinks.

Crewel: And I smoke.

Vet!Yuu: We think she killed her last husband.

Crewel: I can fix her.

MarineBiologist!Yuu: He's too far gone.

Vet!Yuu: Twitterpated.

Nurse!Yuu: It was nice knowing him.

Therapist!Yuu:(walking in) Oh, what are you doing here kittens?

The triplets: (smiling and acting innocent) Nothing Auntie~

Therapist!Yuu: Divis honeypie, I hope they aren't bothering you. They are angels but they tend to be little gossips. So how about we take the tin can for a joyride, I just slapped a new coat of paint on it.

Crewel: I'll be there.

Therapist!Yuu: Oh, and kittens. Don't go being chatterboxes unless you want to find out what really happened to your uncle Earl.

(No one liked him anyways)

𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲: Marine ecologists study the interactions between organisms and their environment. They may study how organisms compete for resources, how they interact with each other, and how they are affected by changes in the environment.

𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Marine evolutionary biologists study the history of life in the ocean. They may study how marine organisms have evolved over time and how they are related to other organisms.

Oceans cover 71% of the Earth's surface and contain 97% of the world's water. Oceans have a big impact on temperature and weather because of their massive size. Both humans and other organisms rely on them for food. Oceans are rich in biodiversity and home to a diverse range of plants and species.

World Oceans Day is celebrated every year on June 8 in the hopes of conserving the water body via joint efforts and protecting it from the dangers of human activity. The purpose of the day is to raise awareness about the importance of oceans in sustaining life on Earth and to encourage people to take action to protect them.

'Revitalization: Collective Action for the Ocean' is the topic for World Oceans Day 2022. Because the ocean is such an important thread that binds us all together, it must be protected. It must be ensured that the ocean is no longer hurt, but rather rejuvenated.

The concept of observing World Oceans Day was first proposed in 1992 at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was created to honor the world's shared ocean and to emphasize its vital significance in our lives.

Oceans provide sustenance for billions of people while also regulating climate and creating more than half of the world's oxygen through the creatures that thrive there. Human actions such as overfishing, oil spills, and plastic pollution, on the other hand, have hurt the water body and the marine species that it supports. World Oceans Day encourages people to increase their efforts to protect the oceans from further harm while simultaneously taking steps to restore their beauty.

On December 5, 2008, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) passed a resolution designating June 8 as World Oceans Day.
