🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠

Leafy Seadragon: The name is derived from their appearance, with long leaf-like protrusions coming from all over the body that serve only as camouflage. The leafy seadragon propels itself utilizing a pectoral fin on the ridge of its neck and a dorsal fin on its back closer to the tail end. These small fins are almost completely transparent and difficult to see as they undulate minutely to move the creature sedately through the water, completing the illusion of floating seaweed. Popularly known as "leafies", they are the marine emblem of the state of South Australia and a focus for local marine conservation.

* View From My Window [_] * April 14 evening sky was beautiful. As always, it faded in minutes. The first image is looking across the street and up the hill. The sign for Fahrenheit 32 SA is not lit. The ash tree arches across the top. The second image is a zoom thru the larger gap under the ash tree. I like having leafies make a frame. Third is off to the left. Over La Fogata Fire Station [private]. Fourth is a tiny gap in the fork of the ash tree. I use a pocket Canon and have no idea how to adjust images. The camera liked the leafies.

I think the biggest downside to having animal ears and a tail would be trying to mask your discomfort in public like imagine trying to play it cool in customer service but your tail keeps bristling
