Tasmanian giant freshwater crayfish (Astacopsis gouldi) By: Unknown photographer From: Zoological Society Bulletin, Vol XXII, No. 6 1919

genuine answer: they could have survived the initial sinking, but would have died pretty quickly from pressure sickness or starvation. lobsters are offshore animals that need rocky habitats in which to hide and find food. they usually aren't found in much more than 1,500 feet of water normally.
the Titanic is 12,500 feet down, and resting on the silty intercontinental ocean floor that is essentially a massive underwater mudflat with only an occasional rock to be seen.
maybe the lobsters survived the pressure change and wiggled out of their tank and found their way out of the wreckage, but this habitat is a desert to them. there was nothing for them there.
realistically though they were probably immediately picked off by the sleeper and sixgill sharks that would have come from HUNDREDS of miles around to scavenge the Titanic's human cargo. sorry!
damn, what a great day to be a deep sea shark though. the Titanic was like the most unimaginably huge whalefall for them. they probably still tell stories about it to the younger sharks today.
Unusual Jumping Spiders
Most jumping spider content I see is focused around Phidippus, which is a shame because Salticidae (the family of jumping spiders) is one of the most diverse families of spiders. This is just going to be some photos of different species or genera of Salticidae I find interesting.

Hello from the Manu Bio Station!
Here's a few photos from early in week 2, volunteering at the Manu Biological Station in the Amazon of Peru.
I thought an extremely tiny snake was in my house but it turns out it's just a small lizard with tiny legs
Don't let Diesel see you lil guy
skink
I'm used to seeing them on rocks or concrete where their legs are a lot more visible. He kinda blends into my floor.
yea the ones here really don't like indoors this one must be especially curious
I think it's the weather. Whenever we get these very hot days there's a significant uptick in the number of critters that want to get in my house at night. It's mostly bugs and spiders and stuff but I guess this lil guy also thought the climate would be better in here.
Not sure why they do this since they come in in the evening, not the day, so they're not escaping the heat. Might be doing the opposite, taking advantage of the lingering heat inside as the outside world gets colder. But if that's the case then you'd think I'd see skinks more often since they love being warm... I dunno.
He's probably come for the buffet (bugs and spiders and stuff)
My dog is named Diesel he looks like this ans eats cucumbers
Diesel is a name that fits that dog so much better than it fits my neighbour's cat

i need pepple to understand that in the first place leather has always been made from the byproducts of butchering animals for meat, otherwise the skin is just tossed and unused. there were some companies farming for leather for a while, particuarly alligator leather, but those were not the norm. peta did so much harm in their campaigns against leather as a concept (its not unethical. yoi get the skin when an animal dies. thats why most leather clothes in the usa are cow leather, bc thats the biggest meat animal here) that its almost impossible to buy anything "leather" that isnt made of plastic that it so fragile and shitty that the very Thread Holding It Together rips the fibers apart. it will last for maybe a year two if youre lucky, and wont biodegrade and was made out of something that isnt naturally occurring in the first place and is one of the biggest causes of pollution globally
i do not care if you personally think nobody should slaughter or eat animals, it is Going to happen anyway. you cannot be so obtuse thst you think making more plastic that causes pollution endless damage to the animals you claim to care about so much is better than omnivorous human beings eating other animals and using their bodies completely.
