What's this about oarfish mouths?
so most bony fish mouths all work pretty much the same way, which is that the actual mouth is a fairly delicate structure that’s normally folded up inside the fish’s face like an accordion. and when the fish sees something it wants to eat/intimidate/smooch gently, it extends the mouth and literally launches its jaws forward out of its face and at its target.
“oh dang, I am just a normal fish going about my normal fish day.”
“HEY YOU GIMME SMOOCH”
and Oarfish are no exception! their version of fish origamiface is just a little more... extreme. like someone tried to make a paper crane while drunk, and also possessed by a demon. normally their faces are folded up all politelike like this,
but when they see something delicious....
*SHOOMP*
this exploding-face trick creates a low-pressure zone inside of the Oarfish’s mouth, which forcibly sucks in any shrimp/small fish/souls of drowned sailors that are in the Suction Zone. these goodies are immediately swallowed as the Oarfish puts its face back together and goes back to being not a nightmare alien creature.
“hello friend, it is me, Normal Fish!”
and sure, there are definitely fish out there with WAY more extreme mouth extension than the Oarfish! but those fish are not also 50 foot long earthquake-predicting mirror sea serpents that spend their time hanging vertically in the deep ocean like they’re pretending to be a support column.
we love you, Oarfish, never change.
An animal that I love that lives near me (southeastern united states) is the american paddlefish, which goes from this:
To this:
and it utilizes its gaping maw to filter feed. Their eggs are also used for culinary caviar.
The Slingjaw Wrasse (Epibulus insidiator) is another extreme example of how fish jaws work. Normally they look, well, like normal fish like this:
However, if they want to feed a bone filament slides over their skulls and their faces extend like this:
This is what it looks like in action and is what you really need to see to understand what on earth is going on in these fish (and in a lesser extent, to most other fish as well)
Phenomenal
If anyone was wondering the queer poly bald eagle triad nesting across the Mississippi from me has 2 eggs so far this year and all three parents are taking turns incubating them
It’s cold and windy right now and 2 eagles are out hunting. I believe it’s one of the dads on the nest right now.
Their first egg this year was laid on Valentine’s day, incidentally.
Yaaaay! they’re back!
He has spent most of this morning fussing with the dried grass on the nest, making sure it is Just Exactly Right.
Speck: a beautiful specimen. Their sibling?

I finished the #wintersoldierprogram by @donsaladino today! 28 days of work outs, and I'm feeling it. I swear there are muscles in those arms under my extra skin.
