I'm excited for the next chapter and can't stop thinking about the AP multiverse so here's a silly question if you want to answer: Do any of the Y/Ns out-rizz Orca Eclipse?

Definitely Humpack Y/N, but, that's due to them being big enough to put a good rizz on Eclipse. The other Y/Ns have their own rizz (or lack thereof) but Humpback knows how to get Eclipse to shut up with a well-timed kiss and even some belly-up cuddles (and a threat or two that may or may not be a bit more passionate than legitimate)

Excerpt from this story from InsideClimate News:

Charismatic is hardly the best word to describe the humpback chub, a fish with a frowny eel face jammed onto a sportfish body in a way that suggests evolution has a sense of humor. Nor did tastiness build a fan base for this "trash fish" across its natural habitat throughout the Colorado River Basin. But, in 1973, the humpback chub became famous by winning federal protection under the Endangered Species Act.

Researchers in the Grand Canyon now spend weeks at a time, several times a year, monitoring humpback chub, which has become central to an ecosystem science program with implications for millions of westerners who rely on Colorado River water.

Now, nearly a century after the original Colorado River Compact was forged, river stakeholders also find themselves in alien terrain as they try to reconcile an old management scheme with new realities, such as tribal rights, environmental protection and, especially, climate change.

About 40 million people in seven states and Mexico rely on the Colorado for irrigation, drinking and even hydropower. Most of the water is used in agriculture to irrigate more than 5.5 million acres.

Meanwhile, the Colorado is shrinking. Average river flows have dropped 19 percent over the last century. About half of the decline is blamed on global warming, and scientists project that unchecked climate change could nearly triple flow reductions by the century's end. Meanwhile, basin tribes want to tap into allocations they haven't been able to use because they lack means to store and pipe the water.

Under original agreements, including the Colorado River Compact, Schmidt's "pie" amounted to 17.5 million acre feet of water, which has proven to be an overestimation of "average" flows because the calculation was made when the river was unusually full. So over the last two decades, thanks in part to climate change and drought, the size of that pie has shrunk to an average annual flow of about 12.5 million acre feet. In short, the pie is about one-third smaller on average than when water users divvied up the river.

The role of global warming as a motivator for revisiting the water allocations probably can't be overstated. The average temperature in the Southwest has already risen twice as fast as the global average and future temperatures are projected to increase as much as 9.5 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100.

Climate change is just one reason Daryl Vigil, water director for the Jicarilla Apache Nation and interim director of the Ten Tribes Partnership, is determined to see tribes at the table in the next round of negotiations. He says the 29 basin tribes have priority rights to about 20 percent of the Colorado River's water but were snubbed by current users from past Colorado River talks.

So I swam with humbpack whales (and want to that again and again 🤗). So what next? How about #spermwhales (aka Pottwale in German)? Where would you rather go? To the Azores or Dominica to swim with them? 🤙🌊 . . . #kingdomoftonga #whales #whalesunderwater #discoverocean #natgeo #natgeowild #natureaddict #naturelovers #ocean #gopro #goprounderwater #travelgram #travelblogger #goproanz #padi #scuba #unterwasser #tauchen @tauchenmagazin @unterwasser_tauchmagazin @gopro @goproanz @ocean @discoverocean

Driving on the beach only a few meters away from the ocean and being able to spot the Humbpack whales 🐳 migrating North at the same time is such an experience! it has been a yearly adventure for me since I’ve been in Australia and I’ll make sure to continue this tradition 😁 | @fleetcrew (at Fraser Island)
