catshark funfact of the day:
the chain catshark (scyliorhinus retifer) is biofluorescent. this means that they glow and that happens due to proteins or pigments in their skin which absorb short blue light and emit longer green light. it hasn't been fully discovered yet why this happens but it is believed they do it for multiple reasons: mate attraction, to avoid/confuse predators and to lure pray.
catshark funfact of the day:
this little guy is called the swellshark (cephaloscyllium ventriosum). their name comes from a defense mechanism against predators - they can suck in water or air and swell up like a ballon to look larger and be harder to eat!
daily catshark #1:
the small spotted catshark - aka my favorite animal ever. they are so silly :D
