What Next Photography
"The Odd Couple". In many orb weavers, including these beautiful Florida banana spiders, the males and females are very mismatched. The female is the large, intricately marked one while the male is the small, comparatively bland one.

Tremoctopus gracilis
Photographer: Ah Ken
Tremoctopus gracilis, or the Indo-Pacific violet blanket octopus, is a species of pelagic octopus found in the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific oceans. It is characterized by extreme sexual dimorphism, with tiny males and large females with a protective web between their dorsal arms, which they use to scare off predators. These octopuses are carnivores, with females capable of detaching tentacles from toxic jellyfish to use as weapons against other animals.

Blowing Bubbles at Bath Time by Todd Wynia Via Flickr: It was interesting watching this adult male Anna’s Hummingbird bathe. He’d put his face down in the water and the roll his head from side-to-side. Then he’d flap his wings sending water everywhere. He cleaned up real nice!

It’s so funny how people forget what certain dog breeds were bred for. A dachshund named Valerie has been marooned on a remote part of Kangaroo Island since she ran away from a campsite in 2023 and everyone in the comments was like “that is the last dog breed I would expect to survive on its own for 500 days”. Hmm. I don’t know if it’s just me and I’ve met absolute freak dachshunds my entire life but they’re tenacious little motherfuckers with an incredible prey drive. I’m more worried about the critically endangered endemic Kangaroo Island dunnart population than I am Valerie. No large predators, several species of small mammal, temperatures consistently between 55° and 75°? She’s the queen of the island now. All small marsupials quake at the sound of her footsteps.
