Botrynema ellinorae

…is a species of Halicreatid hydrozoan which is typically encountered in the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones of the Arctic ocean at depths of around (400 to 1,400 m). However it is also been recorded in subarctic regions of the Atlantic Ocean as well. B. ellinorae is poorly researched and as such its diet and ecology is not known, it is thought that B. ellinorae lacks a polyp stage and is holoplanktonic.

Hey guys, just a quick one. Finally got chance to add the few final touches to this, I will post a progress gif this evening. I had planned to make some ridiculous pulp-ish b movie title for this, which I will probably get around to when I make the gif, but that is why there is a huge space above PB and Lady in the composition.

Eastern long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bartoni) The eastern long-beaked echidna is one of three species from the genus Zaglossus to occur in New Guinea. It is found mainly in Papua New Guinea at elevations between 2,000 and 3,000 metres. The eastern long-beaked echidna can be distinguished from other members of the genus by the number of claws on the fore and hind feet: it has five claws on its fore feet and four on its hind feet. Its body length ranges from 60 to 100 cm and it has no tail. The species is the largest monotreme and is slow-moving. It rolls into a spiny ball for defense. There are four recognized subspecies of Zaglossus bartoni. Eastern long-beaked echidnas are mainly insect eaters, or insectivores. It is currently listed as Critically Endangered on the Red List. Deforestation is one of the factors leading to the decline of this species. photo credits: apscience

Somehow the long-beaked echidnas look so much goofier than their short-beaked cousins.
