If I'm elected as your president in 2028 I promise to bring back the Western Interior Seaway.
North America peaked with this design and every change since has been worse.
NONONONO NO. NO. DO YOU WANT ANY OF THIS FUCKING SHIT BACK?
Pretty babies come swim in w ater with big fish water is fine with big fish in come taste interior seaway with big fish
i turned 21 today, all i can say is that it gets better
bacteriography portrait of Five Pebbles I made from yeast , mold , acrylic paints and other stuff i found
gotta feed the 6 people who follow me so they dont starve so look at my chud son
hi. i really, really need everyone to see this gif of someones frog i just saw on reddit
why are pipefish so ugly
YOU MADE HIM CRY. TAKE IT BACK!!!
Daily fish fact #846
Dealfish!
It’s a deep sea pelagic fish that uses its extendable mouth to suck in small fish and squid. It is usually solitary, but congregates with others of its kind for unknown reasons.
Me: Oh man pasta is really good but I wish I could add other foods to the middle for more flavor

tonight's vertebrate.................eptatretus hexatrema
we interrupt tonight's invertebrate to announce that it is officially HAGFISH DAY!!! and everyone has come to witness the majestic (and oddly slimey) fish of hag!
now is the day to celebrate hagfish, think about hagfish, talk about hagfish with friends and family, participate in hagfish activities, eat hagfish, play with hagfish slime and carry obscene amounts of hagfish in trucks!!
.........sliminess rating: 100% oh you wouldn't believe the amount of slime on this one

happy hagfish day!!
CUSK-EEL SANCTUARY SPOTTED AT DEEP-SEA METHANE SEEP OFF CHILE
A recent expedition off the Chilean coast has revealed dozens of red cusk-eels (Genypterus chilensis), nestled within a dense grove of tube worms at a methane seep. This marks the first documentation of these commercial fish adopting a chemosynthetic ecosystem as their habitat. Intriguingly, high-definition video footage suggests the eels may be visiting this otherworldly landscape for a specific service: parasite removal by resident spider crabs, pointing toward a complex symbiotic relationship in the abyss.
This discovery fundamentally challenges our understanding of methane seeps. Rather than existing as isolated biological islands, these environments appear deeply connected to broader ocean systems, serving as potential hubs for species targeted by fishing fleets. The finding carries significant urgency, as the red cusk-eel is considered vulnerable to overfishing. The surrounding seafloor was littered with lost fishing gear, a silent testament to the fact that this newly studied scientific wonder may already be known to local fishermen, placing it directly in the path of human activity.
The implications for conservation and fishery management are profound. If these seeps function as essential cleaning stations or spawning grounds, their protection becomes critical for sustaining fish populations. Researchers emphasize this two-day glimpse represents just the beginning; the full ecological story throughout the seasons remains unknown. This discovery serves as a powerful reminder that the deep sea still holds profound mysteries, and its protection is inextricably linked to the health of the ocean resources upon which we depend.

There’s a whole group of people on tiktok that are mourning and genuinely crying over the tripod fishs existence because they got brainwashed by an ai video into thinking that every moment they’re alive is painful and agonizing and this is so so funny to me cause they’re absolutely not they’re literally just chilling at the bottom of the ocean
what the snickerdoodle why is this the first im hearing of this
leave my homeboy alone he just lives to chill
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.
hell yeah, screw dead blob fish.
today's vertebrate................stylephorus chordatus
a oneironaut of some sorts, this reluctantly surreal dreamer is always lost in a tranquil trancelike state, looking up above the night sky with their strange tubular eyes (perhaps they are perceiving the stars?)
they never properly answer to any questions given to them, only responding in strange unreasonable murmurings that are very clearly said without thought (too focused in the sky to respond?)
overall a pretty weird fellow
shlompiness rating: stylephorus chordatus
source kinda
I don't know why but this fish scares me a bit. something about the eyes just makes me want to look away from them. not in this illustration though. this illustration is fine
hush little baby dont you cry. mamas gonna buy you a big horse fly. and if that big horse fly dont fly. mamas gonna buy you another horse fly
