a lil springtime newt dedicated to CNY Hiking 🌈, a group that I've been so lucky to be a part of for the past few years 💚 i've met so many incredible people and seen so many beautiful places, and it's really helped me realize that you can go out and create the community you want to see in the world. plus i touched so much grass 🌱👈

shoutout to my pal ryan for being the one who started it all (go check out his art!!)

This is what a deep-sea piggyback ride actually looks like 🐽🦀

During ROV dives in the Monterey Bay, MBARI researchers have often observed small crabs riding on the backs or clinging to the bellies of Scotoplanes sea cucumbers, commonly known as sea pigs.⠀⁠ ⠀⁠ Flat, muddy plains cover much of the deep seafloor. In such areas, animals that can’t burrow into the mud have nowhere to hide. Some juvenile king crabs have evolved a unique solution to this problem—they hitch rides on wandering sea cucumbers. Researchers speculate that this may help young crabs evade predators.
