Hi I have no prompt to submit to the keeper of genetic code but I just wanted to say that I’ve been having a rough time for a while now and this blog, which seems to be a perfect blend of commitment to the bit, love for this hellsite, and interest in genetics that probably couldn’t be better suited for my sense of humor, brought me a lot of unbridled joy really quickly. Thanks for coming up with it, and for revealing that the connection terminated speech from FNAF holds the key to humanity 🫡 I look forward to seeing the next creature you identify

Still feeling stuffed from your Thanksgiving feast? Meet the Guineafowl puffer (Arothron meleagris)! Instead of chowing down on turkey, this fish feeds mainly on the tips of branching corals. It gets round not by eating but to avoid being eaten, swallowing water to dissuade predators from attempting such a big bite. If it’s late to inflate, this fish also has bacteria in its body that can be toxic.

I was looking at someone's aquarium, and the guy who owned it came up to me and asked if I wanted to see his pufferfish become big. I was really adamant telling him NOT to do it but he proceeded to put a straw in its mouth and BLOW IT UP LIKE A BALLOON.
This made me extremely sad.

Angling in Teyvat: a Glimpse into Aquatic Life across the Continent
From the vast freshwater rivers of Sumeru to the dark depths of Inazuma, aquatic life is diverse and widespread in Teyvat. Some that are common and widely available in fish markets and ponds, and others that only a handful of people have even seen alive in their natural habitat.
Hope you liked this mini series, I might make more if y'all want it :>

Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!
Today’s wet beast is: Threetooth puffer
Olive’s wet beast fact: rather than puffing it’s whole body like some basic bitch pufferfish, the threetooth puffer puffs a large stomach flap with an eyespot on the lower part of its body, like a badass
Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!
