“X bodily fluid is just filtered blood!” buddy I hate to break it to you but ALL of the fluids in your body are filtered blood. Your circulatory system is how water gets around your body. It all comes out of the blood (or lymph, which is just filtered blood).

i learned that the Twilight Zone was created after Rod Serling’s teleplay inspired by Emmett Till’s murder was heavily censored by networks and advertisers. The censorship led Serling to rethink his approach and delve into the era’s social issues through a filter of science fiction and fantasy (x)

Round 3 - Actinopterygii - Anguilliformes




(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)
Order: Anguilliformes
Common Name: “eels”
Families: 21 - Chlopsidae (“false morays”), Protanguillidae (“Palauan Primitive Cave Eel”), Synaphobranchidae (“cutthroat eels”), Moringuidae (“spaghetti eels”), Anguillidae (“freshwater eels”), Nemichthyidae (“snipe eels”), Serrivomeridae (“sawtooth eels”), Cyematidae (“Arrow Eel”), Monognathidae (“onejaw eels”), Neocyematidae (“orange bobtail eels”), Eurypharyngidae (“Pelican Eel”), Saccopharyngidae (“gulper eels”), Heterenchelyidae (“mud eels”), Myrocongridae (“thin eels”), Muraenidae (“moray eels”), Colocongridae (“worm eels”), Derichthyidae (“longneck eels”), Ophichthidae (“snake eels”), Muraenesocidae (“pike congers”), Nettastomatidae (“duckbill eels”), and Congridae (“conger eels” and “garden eels”)
Anatomy: greatly elongated body; no pelvic fins, many species also lack pectoral fins; the dorsal and anal fins are fused with the caudal fin, forming a single ribbon running along the length of the animal; leptocephalic (flat and transparent) larvae which metamorphose into “glass eels”, and then “elvers”, before finally seeking out their juvenile and adult habitats
Diet: fish, crustaceans, cephalopods, frogs, etc.; larvae are detritivores
Habitat/Range: in oceans worldwide, burrowed into sand, mud, or amongst rocks; most are marine, but some spend part or all of their lives in freshwater
Evolved in: Late Cretaceous
Propaganda under the cut:
The term "eel" is also used for some other eel-shaped fish, such as Electric Eels (genus Electrophorus), Swamp Eels (order Synbranchiformes), and Deep-sea Spiny Eels (family Notacanthidae) as well as some nematodes like Vinegar Eels (Turbatrix aceti). However, these other clades (with the exception of Deep-sea Spiny Eels which are related to true eels), evolved their eel-like shapes independently from the true eels. The electric mechanism of the Electric Eel is sometimes attributed to true eels, but true eels can not make an electric current.
Eels swim by generating waves that travel the length of their bodies. They can even swim backward by reversing the direction of the wave.
The heaviest true eel is the European Conger (Conger conger). The maximum size of this species has been reported as reaching a length of 3 m (10 ft) and a weight of 110 kg (240 lb).
The longest true eel is the Slender Giant Moray (Strophidon sathete), whose record length is 3.94 metres (12 feet 11 inches).
Most eels begin their lives in freshwater before making their way into the ocean to live their adult lives. Often, elvers are forced to climb up obstructions, such as weirs, dam walls, and natural waterfalls. The presence of man-made dams has made completing this life cycle harder. Journalist Gertrude Elizabeth Blood found that eel fisheries at Ballisodare were greatly improved by the hanging of loosely plaited grass ladders over barriers, enabling elvers to climb more easily.
A famous attraction on the French Polynesian island of Huahine (part of the Society Islands) is the bridge across a stream hosting 0.9-to-1.8 m (3-to-6 ft) long, freshwater Giant Mottled Eels (Anguilla marmorata), deemed sacred by Polynesian culture. According to tradition, the demigod Maui introduced the eels to the island, both as a valuable food source and as keepers of the island’s natural riches. While viewing the animals, tourists can buy a can of mackerel to feed the habituated eels.
Eel blood is toxic to humans and other mammals, but both cooking and the digestive process destroy the toxic protein. Freshwater eels (unagi) and marine eels (Conger Eel, anago) are commonly used in Japanese cuisine, and foods such as unadon and unajū are popular, but expensive. Eels are also very popular in Chinese cuisine, and are prepared in many different ways. Hong Kong eel prices have often reached 1000 HKD (128.86 US Dollars) per kg, and once exceeded 5000 HKD per kg. In India, eels are popularly eaten in the Northeast. Freshwater Eels, known as Kusia in Assamese, are eaten with curry, often with herbs. The critically endangered European Eel (Anguilla anguilla) (image 3) and other freshwater eels are mostly eaten in Europe and the United States. Elvers, often fried, were once a cheap dish in the United Kingdom. During the 1990s, their numbers collapsed across Europe, leading to them becoming a delicacy, and the UK's most expensive seafood. Some species are now farm-raised, but can not actually be bred in captivity. In 2010, Greenpeace International added the endangered European Eel, Japanese Eel (Anguilla japonica), and American Eel (Anguilla rostrata) to its seafood red list, a catalogue of seafood which should not be eaten as consumption of it harms the environment. As governments and restaurants typically ignore the endangered species status of seafood (“they’re just fish”), it is often left up to consumers to check the sustainability of their meals.

Selected Correspondence of Fire Lord Zuko
As preserved by the Royal Archives
1.
My good hotman Zuko,
It's Aang! Sokka let me borrow Hawky. Please feed him before sending him back.
I'm writing to ask if it's okay for me to drop by. Except I'll probably be there by the time you get this, because Appa flies faster than Hawky. Still, it's polite to ask!
Write back (or don't.)
Hot regards
Your friend Aang
-
Revered Avatar Aang
Hawky arrived two hours after you left. Never send me "hot regards" again. Like I keep telling you, language has changed in the past 100 years. It doesn't mean what you think. Future historians will think we were having an affair.
It's always okay to drop by. Hawky has been fed.
May your inner fire warm you (write that down somewhere)
Fire Lord Zuko
2.
Hi
need 3 fire benders (zappy) + few construction workers + a lot of copper
Delivr to harbor
sokka

Honorable tribesman Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe, son of Chief Hakoda, Hero of the 100 Year War
No.
May your inner fire warm you
Fire Lord Zuko
-
Dear Jerk Lord of the Jerk Nation, Master Jerkbender and All-Around Jerk
quit being stingy and send me what i need. seriously. the fate of your nation is at stake. LOOK:
[drawing of two pickles, a stick figure and waves]
Hot regards
Sokka

Sokka
Your drawing makes no sense. I'm writing a law which bans you from owning a messenger hawk.
I found you three volunteer firebenders who can lightningbend. They'll be there in a week with four carts of copper. If you need construction workers, beg Toph, don't bother me.
Feed Hawky better. He's malnourished, he keeps begging me for more food.
And don't do that.
Fire Lord Zuko
3.
Dear Honorless Usurper
My, how the time flies. It seems as if it was only yesterday that I was supposed to be crowned Fire Lord, and here we are, celebrating the first full year of your doomed reign. I salute you.
Know this: you won't know peace for long. I have entered into an alliance with Admiral Noboru. He is a true patriot and has kindly offered me three ships and 2000 men to retake the throne. He has also generously offered to serve as my consort, "despite my mental deficiency."
I am writing as a courtesy, as it is obvious that the throne will soon be mine. I might even let you live.
May Agni's light shine on you*
Azula
Fire Lord-in-exile
[* common benediction for the dead during Fire Lord Zuko's reign]
-
Dear Sister
Thank you for writing. I spoke with Noboru. I told him that I was allowing an Agni Kai and that you were on your way.
Noboru has fled the country. He gifted you his whole estate, see the enclosed list. He said to tell you he's sorry and not to come after him.
Please come visit any time. I hope your healing is going well.
May your inner fire warm you
Your brother Zuko
[enclosed: A list of assets including a home in the 5th Province, a vacation home on Ember Island, 20 acres of farmland, a substantial amount of gold and silver and assorted property]
4.
Zuko
this is the worst copper i've ever seen??? i want a refund. you're the worst copper merchant ever.
sokka
-
Sokka
You didn't even pay for the copper. I'm not giving you a refund. And I'm not a copper merchant. I didn't even buy it, somebody else did. What's wrong with it?
I can send you more if you need?
Fire Lord Zuko
-
Sokka
I sent you two more carts of copper. This is the best copper we have, so if it's not good enough, you can get your own and stop mooching off of me.
Fire Lord Zuko
5.
[on a thin sheet of metal]
Sparky! Earth Rumble 8 is two weeks from now. I'm coming to pick you up in the morning two days before.
Check it out: I can write now. Katara helped me with the characters but I've got it now. Hawky isn't strong enough to carry these, but Katara's dad is letting me borrow Seabreeze.
It's TOPH.
-
Dear Lady Beifong
You can't just come pick me up! I'm the Fire Lord. Two weeks isn't enough time for me to arrange days off.
I'd like to come watch you knock some heads, but I can't. Sorry.
Feed Seabreeze. Seriously. What's wrong with you people? Every bird you send me is starving.
May your inner fire warm you
Fire Lord Zuko
-
[on a thin sheet of metal]
Sparky. Thanks for sending me a sheet of paper but my privy is stocked. I can guess what it says though: "I can't go I'm so busy and I'm too much of a wimp to clear my schedule"
I'm coming to pick you up. Tell your guards they can either get out of my way or get CRUSHED. It's gonna be fun.
It's TOPH.

various vetulicolians are up on my Youtube channel
youtube
alt: video shows vetulicolians in an aquarium setting with the glass aquarium Background and sometimes the water surface.
The first three vetulicolians have a rectangular fish like 'head' shape with no eyes, a small hole for a mouth, and a grooved line running through separating the top and bottom half of the body. Along the grooved lines there are five holes identified as gill slits, on top of the body is a small dorsal fin similar to a shark's in shape. Protruding out after the dorsal fin is a paddle like segmented tail that propels the body forward. The second one is more rectangular in shape hence the name rectangulata, while the third one, V.cuneata has a beak like protrusion instead of a rectangle shaped head. Fourth one shows shenzianyuloma, it has a more pomfret-like silhouette. Fifth is Nesonektris, it has no dorsal fin and the tail doesn't protrude out of the top half of the body, it looks more continuous with the body. Sixth shows pomatrum, its body is tube like with a tadpole shaped tail. Seventh briefly shows skeemella, still Unclear if it's really a vetulicolian. It has a smaller head followed by a long many segmented tail. The YouTube commenters have pointed out it looks somewhat like a sperm...
