[Video ID: seen from behind, a beautiful ornate wobbegong swishes through green seaweeds. The water is maybe 20 feet deep and a lovely sky blue. The shark is covered with markings like messy oatmeal. They look lazy and contented, maybe a bit thoughtful. /End video ID]

[rosslynpaladin]

imagine being on your little dried peapod shell of a boat with your fragile little human self and then

out of the depths below

the Divine

God-Beasts

come right up to YOU

capable of crushing you without even noticing you

and ever so gently

so gently

roll back and forth around the dried leaf you're sitting on

just to maybe examine you and see what you're doing in their world.

Daily fish fact #509

Amazon molly!

This species is 100% female (something that their common name references), and it reproduces through gynogenesis! This is essentially parthenogenesis, but the eggs of the fish must be stimulated by the presence of sperm — however, the sperm does not actually fertilise the eggs and contributes no genetic material to the offspring.

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

I hear your confusion! Here’s an explanation given by @3lbmassofjelly in the past, because screenshotting is faster than writing it myself!

[dizzyahellfire]

So are all mollies female or just this one in particular? Either way this is truly amazing.

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

Only this species of molly is all female! Other ones have a normal female-to-male ratio, as far as I know.

[yogurtlamp]

if the male doesn't contribute any genetic material, does that mean that the only genetic variation that can occur comes from mutations? are the offspring genetic clones of the parent?

also, if the only purpose of the sperm is to stimulate the egg, then what's the point of evolving the need for sperm?

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

Yes, as the daughters only have the genetic material of their mother to work with, they are her genetic clones save for any mutations they'll have!

I don't unfortunately know why the amazon molly uses gynogenesis instead of the sort of parthenogenesis where the mother gives birth to babies all by herself. Perhaps it isn't a case of deliberately evolving the need for sperm from being fully independent and instead somewhere along the lineage of amazon mollies (about 100 000 - 200 000 years ago), a mother fish had a mutation that made her eggs' membrane permeable for sperm but rejected any further contribution? As all her offspring were (and are) her clones and no new genetic material was brought into the lineage (besides for mutations) it remained distinct and this feature unchanging. Why or how this would come to be (or if this is even close to what happened), I can only theorise! Goes to show how fascinating the natural world is: out there is a fish that thrives just by cloning itself...

🌊🏊Sharks are nice!🏄

Since its summertime and people are gonna be hitting the beach to swim and/or surf, i decided to make this informative shark post. In the media sharks are portrayed as mean bloodthirsty and vicious creatures. Such as in movies like “The Shallows” and “Jaws”. But are sharks really that vicious? The answer is no. No they are not. Sharks are really nice and sweet creatures. I am a surfer and have been bitten a couple of times by sharks but i still know the truth… sharks aren’t evil creatures. You may be thinking “but you’ve been bitten by one! How can they not be evil!?” Well the answer to that my bro is simple, its all a misunderstanding. You see, sharks dont have great eyesight. They are blind as fuck. So they rely on other senses to find food. They see the silhouette of us surfers on our boards and they see it from a below angle and they think we kind look like seals, their favourite meal (as seen in the pics above). So they take just a nibble to see what the fuck we are. Once they realize we aint a seal, they go away. Why? Sharks HATE the taste of human meat. We disgusting af to them. Thats why the majority of shark attacks are just sharks bitting once and then leaving. They just wanted to know what the fuck we are bro. Its a case of mistaken identity. A misunderstanding. Have there been shark attacks where the shark bites more than once? Yeah. But thats rare and it only happens if the shark is either (1) feeling threatened or provoked. Or (2) very hungry. Like, i mean STARVING.

Sharks just wanna eat but they dont wanna eat us. Its just a simple misunderstanding. As you can see in the photos above, people can swim with sharks and nothing happens. Its totally fine my dudes. So there you have it, sharks are homies, not hostile.

MORE INFO: The likelihood of being attacked by a shark is thought to be 1 in 11.5 million, and only 4 or 5 people in the entire world die each year from shark attacks.[1].
