Daily fish fact #538

Raccoon butterflyfish!

They have a dark “mask” on their face, hence their common name! They’re nocturnal fish, staying hidden during the day and coming out to eat at night.

Gillion knowing the curse is taking hold, that he’s dying, unsure if there will be a fix, if they’ll get there in time. Using his time with Jay and Chip asking questions, and offering answers in return, so they at least won’t be caught unprepared if he dies with all the things they wanted to say - and using the opportunity to ask them about the little things. Chip’s favorite flavor, Jay’s favorite animal, what they love and what he loves too. Laying on that table when they make it to Featherbrooke, May Ferrin talking to him like he’s not dying at all, trying to keep him awake, keep him comfortable, and all he can talk about is Chip and Jay. There was nothing more important than imparting their knowledge, no other final words he might have wanted to share, because they are what is most important to him. All the little things that make up who he loves. He thought he was going to die, was dying, and he talked about raspberries, purely for the fact that it’s Chip’s favorite flavor.

Does he want to domesticate a raccoon or is he the domesticated raccoon?

My next fic bookbinding. This is probably my favourite fic of the fandom, so now it exists on my shelf. Unfortunately I do not own anything related to these three animals for the picture, but I do eat black liquorice regularly. (Author:volksidiot on AO3 @kori-senpai )

We're not lion: The 2022 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are a good laugh

From a salmon punching a bear in the face to a penguin that seems to have no head, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards announced its winners this year.

The organization fields thousands of submissions for each of its photo categories: creatures of the land, creatures of the air, creatures of the sea, a junior award for photographers 18 years old or under, an internet portfolio award, and a people's choice award.

Jennifer Hadley, a photographer who grew up in Virginia, claimed the top prize as the overall winner for her January 2021 photo of a 3-month-old lion cub tumbling out of a tree in the Serengeti region of Tanzania.

"It was definitely unexpected," Hadley told NPR. "How often do you see cats falling out of trees?"

Though shots like these are often unpredictable, she said photographers prepare themselves for the unexpected.

"What you can anticipate is potentially something happening so you want to position yourself in the way you think that animals will move, where the light is, how that's going to affect the speed of your camera," Hadley said.

John Chaney, a businessman and photographer of over 50 years, was one of the 10 "highly commended winners," recognized for his August 2021 photo of a salmon seemingly punching a bear in the face at the foot of Alaska's Brooks Falls.

From late June to September, mature salmon make an arduous upriver journey from the ocean to the gravel beds of their birth to spawn every two to three years. The National Park Service estimates 200,000 to 400,000 salmon successfully leap the waterfalls each year.

Chaney said bears planted themselves at the top and bottom of Brooks Falls to feed on the flapping salmon.

"Wherever wildlife is happening, you try to stake out a good spot and you just take pictures for hours trying to get the best image, whether it's a unique facial expression or an animal doing something unique to make the picture special," he told NPR.

Chaney said he does not have any tips or tricks to taking a comedic shot.

"It's just luck," he said.

Pendants for Anime North! The exact day after I finished these, I made three sales, so I went from a full display rack and checking pendants off the to-do list, to trying to figure out what else I could make, whoopsadaisy!

So for hanging style pendants, we have a Three Toed Sloth, Honduran Tent Bats, a Raccoon, a Barn Owl, a Red Fox, and a Garter Snake. (There's one more, but I'll share him later, he's a favourite. :) )

For scene style sea glass pendants, we have a Tree Frog, a Robin in a Magnolia tree, a Betta fish, and a Fire Bellied Newt. :)

I'll be at Anime North next week from May 26 to May 28, and I'll share my table number once I have it. :) In the meantime, I do still have a some beasts in the sh 0p as well if you have a hankering.

Please note: all creatures, including my sh0 p stock, will be joining me at Anime North, but not all will be coming back, so if you've had your eye on anyone, make sure to grab them before May 24th, when I'll be closing for the convention.
