A hanging ceramic display piece/luminary from the start of the year - complete with babies that can be attached from small holes in the scales at the bottom of the parent's tail with fishing line (sold)!

I completely forgot about posting this and didn't get proper documentation photos but that's ok, I got process photos to show at least :)

Worm situation in Maine has me absolutely gobsmacked. Some kind of polychaete worm, maybe a king ragworm, never seen any polychaetes this big in person, all in all saw five 8-10 inch worms after just a couple minutes on the beach. The colors were even more stunning irl!

They look wiiiiild in motion too:

polychaete-of-the-day

Today's worm is another alciopid, Vanadis antarctica.

This genus is special for being one of the four groups of animals that evolved high-resolution vision that can distinguish distinct objects! The other three are chordates, arthropods and mollusks.

Pickling Pelicans (also known as "Crabtraps", "Penanggalan", "Mulchgulls", "Stinkbirds", "Gluttons" and "Gollopers") are bizarre alien predators from the wheatworld. They evolved to eat hard-shelled invertebrates by scooping them up and digesting them within a gular pouch over the course of about a month (during which their jaws seal shut with a sticky film) before spitting out the inedible exoskeleton. Unfortunately, they are opportunist predators of any number of large animals, often with quite disturbing results - it's not unusual to spot them in the midst of a very gory "pickling" of a vertebrate. There is no record of anyone being successfully removed from the pouch of a pelican - even after the death of the animal, attempts to pry the jaws open or cut the pouch only resulted in snapped penknives. Remains have only been retrieved after decomposition has caused the gular pouch to pop.

Despite how dangerous they are when hunting, they're notably placid and harmless after eating. Multiple people have reported approaching a pelican in the process of digesting its prey without any sign of fear or aggression; the animals were even said to curiously reach out and gently touch people or human objects with their dexterous back limb, not unlike the way an elephant might use its trunk to investigate something new.
