Because I got curious with the concept of omegaverse (thanks to ABO Desire), I will start reading @nabi-unveiled's recommendation: Alpha Predator (顶级掠食者) by Shui Qian Cheng 😊

"Probably one of my most amazing encounters on foot. The breathtaking Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, with its stunning landscapes, is one thing—but coming across pumas (mountain lions, cougars—however you like to call them) just a few meters away? That’s next level. The adrenaline rush kicked in strong, and looking through these shots makes me want to head back immediately! Fun fact: pumas are the biggest cats that can purr, which is as cool as it is intimidating when you’re this close."

I am to be feared.

The twin-spot snapper (Lutjanus bohar) is one of the more curious predators in the central Pacific. These fish (also called bohars) are top predators on the reef, eating a variety of fishes, shrimps, crabs, and snails among others, and are usually around 2.5 feet long. However, they are frequently caught as game fish and sold for people to eat. In areas where they aren't fished, they are very common—more common than you would expect. Learn about this phenomenon in Dr. Sandin's blog post.

It just occured to me that killer whales are like "those people".

You know, the ones that think they're better than you? The ones who think they can get away with anything because in their minds, they're on top and nothing can shake them. They strut around, heads held high and proud, always looking sharp and perfectly put together. They stick close to those that are the same as they are and together, they feel like they rule the world.

Oh my gosh. They are the Kardashians of the sea.
