A catfish puppy!!!! I think I might name it Beauregard? Maybe Lorenzo? Feels like a long kinda fancy name kind of creature
Last time @barksbog made catfish puppies I didn’t get one and regretted it, I’m so so happy I got one this time! So cute!! So many details! The paw pads, the spots, the whiskers/barbels, absolutely fantastic!!!

went to a new optometrist today wearing my squid facts ‘save our freaks’ shirt from @sarahmackattack that has a strawberry squid on it. and i wasn’t even thinking about it but the optometrist walked in and he was like ‘oh what does your shirt say’ so i showed him and he was like ‘oh that’s neat!’ and then i thought he might like to know about strawberry squid eyes since they have weird eyes and he is an optometrist and all. so i was like ‘yeah it’s actually a real kind of squid called a strawberry squid, their eyes are really cool because they have one big yellow-green one and one small blue one’ and he kind of gasped and went ‘oh my god that’s so interesting i wonder why they have that. do you know what their retina composition is like?’ and i watched as he minimized my chart on the computer and started looking up images of strawberry squid and then he googled ‘strawberry squid retina composition’ and he was like ‘sorry we’ll get to your eye exam in a moment i just really want to find out’ LMAO 10/10 optometrist experience will be returning
Hell yeah
He’s in the right for that this is so cool
it’s true strawberry squid are pretty awesome

Bumped into your mudpuppies post and now I'm wondering: How common are salamanders that keep their gills anyway? And why does the axolotl get all the press? My favorite gilled salamander is the olm, and I think it deserves more recognition. Long Boi.
It’s hard to say exactly because a lot of salamander species can kind of “choose” whether or not to lose their gills. Ambystoma salamanders are really notorious for this. If conditions are better in the water than on land, they’ll just never leave the water. They’ll become adults but never transition into their normal terrestrial adult form. Here’s two tiger salamanders that are the same age, one with and one without gills.
And some normally paedomorphic salamanders can lose their gills and come out on land under the right conditions. Axolotls do it sometimes and they look very silly.
I think the reason axolotls get so much press is just because they’re very cute and they’re fairly easy to keep as pets as far as salamanders go. They’re the pretty popular kids of the salamander world, but they have many equally interesting relatives out there!

Some good news for everyone today.
I went to a conference showing off this tech back in 2013 and I am so glad to see a TikTok because it means that the technology is getting more popular and ubiquitous
