Welcome to Animals Daily!!

My name is Moth. The pronouns I use are they/them, she/her, or, if you're feeling funky, bug/bugs. If you can't tell, my favorite animals are moths, especially hawk moths. They're so cutie <3

●●●

Every day, I post a different animal. Y'all can recommend an animal by the way. The type of animal I post is dependent on the day of the week. We have:

- Mammal Monday

- Amphibian Tuesday

- Arthropod Wednesday

- Reptile Thursday

- Fish Friday

- Bird Saturday

- Miscellaneous Invertebrate Sunday

●●●

Day 1-185 don't exist. (Okay they do, but only on the original discord server I made for my friends. Y'all aren't invited sorry. Oh and if I don't do an animal you suggest, its prolly cause I already did it there.)

Day 248: Miscellaneous Invertebrate Sunday

Whale-fall lancelet

moths-animals-daily

Okay so whale-fall lancelets are really interesting to me because:

1. They're chordates, but not vertebrates. I just find this specific group of animals to be really interesting since they're as close as they can get to vertebrates without them being vertebrates. They give a lot of insight on how vertebrates evolved! (The sea squirt from last week is also a chordate, but actually even closer related to vertebrates since both it and vertebrates are olfactores).

2. This one species of lancelet likes anaerobic conditions. So it doesn't need oxygen, which is really rare for multicellular organisms!!! There aren't very many anaerobic animals!

3. It eats dead whales.

4. Its scientific name is Asymmetron inferum, which is the coolest scientific name I've ever heard.

Please note I am not an expert and am, in fact, getting all of this info from wikipedia.
