In theory I know rainbow shiners (Notropis chrosomus) exist and yes, they are very pretty. Especially in breeding colours.

But every now and again I’ll come across a video or picture and just catch my breath. I mean, look at them. That’s hardly fair that they look like that and exist on this planet.

I mean… just look at them!

Holy shit!

They’re like little gem-encrusted neon blips of pure whimsy.

Anyway, North American native fish species are criminally unrepresented in the aquarium world and these bad boys are pretty close to the top on my long, long, very long fish wish list.

Two avian creatures native to the equatorial tundras and mountainous regions of birgworld. Jhujũjo (nicknamed “snowhoppers” by human observers) is a small, grouse-like animal that browses for feathervane fronds and seeds. The males gather in first spring to display in open areas. After claiming a mate, he will guard her fiercely and feed her larvae until they emerge as fledgelings in summer.

Wãbũitəha is an avian predator that features in many local legends. The Twowi name for this creature roughly translates to “Winter’s Soaring Knife”, a reference to beliefs in it being an incarnation of the blade that reaps life in early winter to prepare the world for new life in the spring.

This was actually a commission for @mfkayenne on twitter! And special thanks to @sirenafaculto and @primalmuckygoop for help with the names/script and the cultural lore, respectively

Didn't think I'd have the time but got my entry for the refugium creature contest done! Down to the wire as usual. More info on the life cycle found below!

I wanted to do a fun Squilloid line, but as fun belly worms! The life cycle is the host eats the eggs which hatch inside the digestive tract, once there the young attack each other and any other parasites they find. They 'eat' through absorption through their tails so their mouth parts are only for clearing out their living space, as a result most hosts generally feel a lot better once they are infected. The fools!

Once the role of top worm has been decided, the individuals morphs into the feeding stage of their lifecycle. Their tail sprouts a multitude of fringes to aid in absorbing food and gas exchange, while the mouth parts remain for dealing with any would be room mates! This stage of their life is by far the longest, lasting decades.

The burrowing phase is where the fun begins, this sub adult form can be brought about by age, stress, or most commonly lack of space within the host. In this phase they begin swelling grotesquely and once they reach maximum size, turn their mouth upon their host. They chew their way out to the surface, sometimes resulting in death, sometimes not! But they only stop once they are able to smell open air and then settle in to begin their final metamorphosis.

The dispersal phase adults only live for a few days, climbing out of the wound created in their host to fly off and find suitable places to lay their eggs. If their host died during the last phase they will generally lay their eggs onto the body, but some are always out looking to lay a trap for the next poor unsuspecting creature.

Hope you enjoy! There are so many fun entries, def go check them out!
