9, 10, 12 for the animal ask game!

Favorite Animals Asks

9) Do you have an inordinate fondness of beetles?

Yup! When I was younger I used to find beetles that had baked on the driveway and kept them in a cardboard box outside. (My mom wouldn't let me bring them indoors). Needless to say, one good storm and my beetle collection was gone.

10) What’s your favorite animal with a worm body plan? (e.g. snakes, nematodes, caecilian, etc.)

Pipefish!! They look like real life worms on a string on the loose. When I was in undergrad working for the biology department for work study, the zoology professor actually had a pipefish in her aquarium for a little while. It was pretty cool to watch and feed.

Pipefish are related to seahorses and like seahorses, the males are who "become pregnant." They are not very strong swimmers so they are usually found in more shallow, slower moving waters. Some species are monogamous, some seasonally monogamous, and some are polyandrous.

12) What’s your favorite blue animal?

Previous blue animals: 1 | 2 | 3

Blue-spotted monitors (Varanus macraei)!

They are almost completely arboreal, using their claws and tail as tools to help them climb in trees. They can also use their coil-able tail as a whip for a defensive mechanism.

They are a fairly newly discovered species, only having been discovered in 2001 on an Indonesian island, Batanta.
