as a disclaimer this blog will not tolerate Hate for any animal. I don't care if they're parasites, wasps, invasive, whatever. animals are just animals. they may sometimes engage in behavior that is harmful that people have to work around and find solutions in, but this blog will not tolerate demonizing animals and calling them "evil" or "bad" in any way. You don't have to like them, but you shouldn't bring that shit here. this blog is meant to be a safe place for me to love these beings. They are trying to live just like we are. You will be blocked on sight if you come to this blog and interact with it to show disgust or hate towards any creature, ever! No exceptions.

with that out of the way Please Enjoy my silly nature blog about creatures and beasts and take an egg to go from my Nest. perhaps it will hatch into a beautiful animal for you to love, too!

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Think all eels live in water? Think again! In 2018 scientists described a new species of swamp eel which they believe resides almost entirely on land. The eel, dubbed Rakthamichthys rongsaw, is bright pink and has extremely tiny, almost non-functional eyes; a result of its subterranean lifestyle depriving it of the need for sight or pigment. Only one individual has been found in north-east India, so the extent of its distribution is currently unknown.

Koh Tao Caecilian (Ichthyophis kohtaoensis), family Ichthyophiidae, Khao Sok, Thailand

Caecilians are amphibians, like frogs and salamanders. (They are not worms, nor are they snakes.)

Most caecilian species are fossorial (burrowing), but some are sem- aquatic or fully aquatic.

how to have a sturgeon summer:

1. be quite large

2. use your barbels to find prey among the gravel along the bottom of the river

3. extend your siphon-like mouth to eat small fish, shellfish, and crustaceans

4. launch yourself out of the water and make a big splash just for fun

5. show off them scutes!

you can now enjoy your sturgeon summer
