Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire (Cortos animados, 2023): una representación que si vale la pena ver

A pesar de que siempre digo que no quiero endurecer la línea del blog uniéndome a batallas “culturales”, lo cierto es que el problema esta ahí y marca las cosas que el mass media hace actualmente. Y en medio, casi diríamos dirigiendo, está Disney. La compañía del ratón tiene, para bien y más para mal, que quiere liderar esta corrección política, inclusión y representación. Auto denominándose en…

Daily fish fact #850

Wedgetail triggerfish!

Its eyes can move independently of each other! Like other triggerfish, it hunts by blowing jets of water from its mouth at the seafloor, aiming to uncover hiding invertebrate prey.

Time for some obscure fanart again. Here's the titular character from the movie Khumba. It's not an absolutely amazing movie by any means but still a guilty pleasure of mine

Plus there was virtually ZERO fanart or posts talking about Khumba on Tumblr when I tried searching, took it upon myself to fill the empty hole with my own Khumba art

Fish of the Day

Today's fish of the day is the reef triggerfish!

The Reef Triggerfish, also known by Hawiian name humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa, and scientific name Rhinecanthus rectangulus, is known for its prevalence across the indo-pacific, and for being Hawaii's state fish! Their range stretches from the Hawiian islands to the Eastern Philippines,Northern Australia, Indian ocean, small sections of the red sea, and the mediterranean. This fish lives its life out along reefs and other sea shelves, as their hunting style consists mostly of digging in the sand and rocks for prey, similar to pigs digging for truffles. Their diet consists of reef invertebrates, algae, small crabs, sea urchins, and other benthic animals. This diet can support them to sizes of 10-12 inches, which is the smaller range for triggerfishes.

These fish, like many other triggerfish, gain their name from their ability to fire and aim jets of water, which it will also use to hunt and find prey beneath the surface. They also will use this against other fish and larger beings in their territory, as reef triggerfishes are intensely territorial, and solitary other than in breeding season. This can manifest in cases where reef triggerfish chase and bite humans viewing reefs. When met with predators, the reef triggerfish, similar to other triggerfish, finds small holes within rocks or corals that it will lodge itself within. The first dorsal spine will act as a physical barrier that can lock in an upright position, making it harder for predators to pry it out of their safe havens. Due to the shape of their spines and fins, these fish can swim forward, backward, and hover in the water.

Like most fishes, reef triggerfish have a breeding season from April-August, and classically have females lay eggs and males fertilize in groups. This being the one of the only times they interact with other of their species intentionally. Then after this, a female will build a nest, and wait with eggs until a few weeks after they hatch, at which point the fish will set out independently. Reef triggerfish can also change coloration, turning a more vibrant shade for breeding seasons. They will also present vibrantly when healthy, sexually mature, and unthreatened. They can also change colors to better match an environment around them, and do so nightly when they settle into holes to rest.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠

Lagoon Triggerfish moves through the water by using waving motions in its dorsal and anal fins, allowing it to move more precisely. Using these movements, it can move forwards, backwards or simply hover in place above the reef. This means that it can more easily back out of crevices than other unidirectional fish.

No. 6 on my list of top animated series for 2023: "Supa Team 4"

I only heard about Malenga Mulendema's Supa Team 4 on a whim, on social media. I'm glad I did because Netflix continues to inadequate promote this series. Although I don't always like computer-generated animations, this superhero action-comedy series remains one of my favorites for 2023. This series, produced by Trigger Fish Animation Studios, shares some characteristics with other teenage superhero series and classic 2000s series from the 2000s. The story is wholy Zambian and centers on four girls with different (and sometimes clashing) personalities: Temwe Chiti, Komana Mwinga, Zikomo "Zee" Phiri, and Monde Wamunyima. They are brought together by a former secret agent named Mama K.

Similar to other entries on this list, Temwe, Komana, Zee, and Monde feel obligated to keep their real identities secret. They have one of the coolest superhero transformations, with upbeat music and a distinctive flair. It is only rivaled by Sailor Moon, series within the Pretty Cure franchise, and magical girl works. Themes like environmental protection, family, work-life balance, value of art, and obsession with popularity are key. They face off against a villain who tries to steal the city's electric power, while masquerading as a "Black empowerment" capitalist. The second season premieres on December 21 and will continue centering African stories.

Daily fish fact #777

Ocean triggerfish!

It often likes to hang around Sargassum seaweeds. Like other species of triggerfish, the ocean triggerfish straightens out its first two dorsal fin spines to anchor itself tightly to crevices and to deter any would-be predators.

Did I mention today that I hate drawing birds?

Anyway here's more fanart from yet another obscure animated movie I like- Kai from Adventures in Zambezia (made by the same studio that made Khumba). And also another movie I found zero content of when searching on Tumblr

Day 5 of Fishuary!

Prompt: Triggerfish

—

Rhinecanthus aculeatus goes by many names, but it’s commonly referred to as a lagoon triggerfish or picasso triggerfish. We have one at work named Clyde!

Triggerfish swim by undulating those top and bottom (dorsal and anal) fins! Which is kinda weird when you see that big ol’ tail. But, this movement allows them to move BACKWARDS! At least, more easily than other fish.

The spines that give the triggerfish their name are used for defensive anchoring, preventing predators from yoinking them from their hiding spots!
