demon catshark 👉👈

DYK…

demon catshark is a catshark of the family Scyliorhinidae found only in deep water in the East China Sea. its length is up to 40 cm.

demon catsharks conservation status is least concern and the reproduction of this catshark is oviparous

demon catsharks don’t actually have a lot of information about them online :(

*hit blunt* yeah so one joule is the energy necessary to heat one gram of water one degree celcius. and when i was six i thought vaginas was just an inside out penis so whos laughing now

Cave fish time!!

Cryptotora thamicola or the waterfall climbing cave fish are extremely rare, found in only eight caves on the border of Thailand and Myanmar. Like most cave fish they are blind and pigmentless but what makes them special is there ability to cling to walls and climb up flowing water.

day 15

Moon, I need you to develop arachnophobia or smth pronto and do *any*thing about your damn underhang. I can't handle it

Have you ever seen the Spectacled Eider (Somateria fischeri)? During breeding season, males sport green plumage in a pattern that's reminiscent of glasses. While this doesn't make their vision sharper, it does help males stand out from the crowd.For the rest of the year, they revert to mottled-brown plumage, similar to females, which have more subdued spectacles year-round. This duck is unique in that it lives in the frigid high Arctic. It sustains itself on a diet of mostly mollusks and crustaceans, diving to pluck prey from the ocean floor.

I do think the gateway arch being a secret Athena temple or whatever is interesting but I will always hold a place in my heart for the book reason as to why they went to the arch which was simply "Annabeth really likes architecture and wants to see the Arch really bad so we're going to take some time away from our high stakes, time sensitive quest to do so."

Happy Birthday to my favorite doctor!

[incorrect-batfam-quotes-mostly]

Batfam but as my stupidest injuries pt 4. (Near death edition)

Dick: randomly passed out, was rushed to the hospital where they discovered his kidneys were going into failure, and he'd need a transplant. Everyone freaked out only for the next blood test to change completely, and nothing was wrong anymore (no one knows why or how this happened)

Jason: got caught in a riptide helping a tourist kid who didn't know the water. Got back to shore by pure stubbornness (and knowing how riptides work) and threw up from exhaustion

Tim: fell off a paddle board and hit his head on it as he fell and almost drowned from being dazed and winded by the fall

Damian: almost got tetanus from slamming his face into a rusty swing pole, then not getting a shot

Bonus Tim because in Pt 3 his injury was being scalded by boiling water: went into burn shock for most of the night

oceanic whitetip? or perhaps, a chain catshark?

(i have done ocean white tip, but if u want more facts pls lmk 💗💗💗)

DYK…

chain catshark can grow up to 59 cm long. they are shy and nocturnal and often hide in crevices. they spend their day resting at the bottom using the sandy bottom to camouflage its spotted back. at night, when they are active, chain catsharks feed on squid, bony fish, crustaceans and bristle worms.

chain catshark is a small, reticulated catshark that is biofluorescent. the species is common in the Northwest Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean. it is harmless and rarely encountered by humans. it has very similar reproductive traits to the small-spotted catshark.

chain catshark are considered mature when they have a fully developed nidamental gland or shell gland. this is marked by the glands growth to 1.8 cm (0.7 in) or more in width. sexual maturity in the female is seen at 52 centimeters (1.71 ft) in length under normal conditions.

Water has its own gravity

[pokidokieships]

Excuse my Zutara fangirlism but I’m on my hundredth ATLA rewatch and I just noticed another one of those scenes that could have made for PERFECT foreshadowing… it’s really crazy how this ship wrote itself in the show!

Anyways notice how Katara reacts to Jet seemingly wanting to join the gaang and Toph calling her out on it:

(Excuse the bad quality Netflix didn’t allow me to take screenshots bahah)

And then:

She’s blushing because she obviously had feelings for Jet, a canonical love interest of hers.

But doesn’t this scene strike you as familiar in any way…..?

She reacted the same way with Zuko, these scenes are so identical it’s INSANE! The subtext!! *screams*

But this time Zuko is genuine and works to gain her trust back!! And then we see him risk his life for her like a couple episodes later…. AHHHHH

How are they not a canon couple again??
