have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

fluorescentbrains

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

i asked my bird understander friend about the kansas avoiders and she thinks they may just dislike prairie; they're not the only birds that tend to avoid that area so it seems like it must be just not that romantic a destination for em (sorry if you did not actually want to know a possible answer)

no I very much did want to know the answer, many thanks to you and the bird understander 🫶

#I know very little about midwest ecology! I know there's prairie out there but idk what that really means. Some day I'll visit #I'm a simple Sonoran desert kid living back East #the middle chunk is a mystery to me

I’ve been drawing this statue for an hour and all I have is one rendered ass

Thank you Rome, you were so dramatic about everything and it makes for a great statue

Being an artist is funny because it leads you to weird fixations. I picked this statue out of the whole museum because it was caked up, I won't deny that. And I started shading with the ass because I like to start with the darkest, least ambiguous values, but also because butts are funny and I was entertaining myself.

People who walked by me, especially in the early stages where I was 100% focused on the ass, might conclude I was really into the ass. False. The figure was simply the table I needed to set for the main course. The sexiest part is the little chips in the marble. That little scratch on the torso? Delicious, I was way less normal about drawing the two lines there than anything around the butt.

#the best way to depict something is to be very not normal about it #I am deeply proud of those chips!#portrait of the artist as a young dork

Drawing everyone’s favorite staple remover tonight

Awkward teenage phase

Hit it with a hammer to get that nice antique effect

Fin 🐟

I might go mess with the shading again in the future—it still feels a little incomplete. I was trying to figure it all out while in combat with a display case that was designed to mess with me specifically (best viewing angle has the display’s corner seam running through it, and both faces of the display somehow manage to have a ton of glare and reflection)

For some reason a few people have found this post recently, but they keep reblogging the first image. And that's nice, I'm glad people like it, but it was just the sketch. I did finish it, and the finished one looks cooler. 🥺

#I know it's likely because of how tumblr's search works #search dunkleosteus and the first image will come up and not the full chain #alas #I have still been drawing Museum Creatures weekly btw I've just not been posting anything. I will soon. Probably #perhaps some day I'll even post the finished things as their own post rather than a reblog chain?? what a concept

Just clicked the "share" link on a job posting thinking that it would give me a tidy little link to share and instead I received the endgame boss of internet "share this with your network!" options. I am having the same visceral reaction to this that I think a medium predator has to a frilled lizard, I want to jump back and retreat

At least one of these companies doesn't exist anymore. A quarter are basically only used abroad (this job is US-specific). Clicking BLM just leads you to a now-closed ActBlue fundraiser. Why would one EVER want to post it on Nextdoor. What is happening

okay now I’m curious

How many of these options have you heard of before? (Copy and email are what you expect, so with tumblr you get 3 for free. BLM is ActBlue. The rest are what they say on the tin.)

Fewer than 10

11-20

21-30

31-40

41-50

51-60

I’ve heard of all 61

What is email (show results)

Voting ended onApr 13

(I forgot to mention Print but Print is also just print, so 4 for free.)

inaturalist-unofficial

This is tangential to our top diva here but usernames on iNaturalist are such a delight. It's like 20% normal internet usernames, 40% academics using some derivation of their real name, and 40% sedgequeens.

I upload something aquatic and get an ID from a username like crabgrabbing. Bracketfunguy stops by my mushroom. Annelida19 kindly comments to explain why the computer model sucks at earthworms, with citations. Gallussssss goes through every Northeast region bird I have. I love all of them and their pride in their niche knowledge. Every single time it feels like this:

#(made up usernames here but directly based on actual people in my recent iNat notifs)#I personally picked a somewhat nonsense mix of two taxonomic frog terms #though I will admit I am not particularly skilled in ID'ing frogs I just like them a lot

Thats a ShrimplyBeautiful video! And that's a critically endangered cardinal sulawesi shrimp!

The accounts are run by a person named Timothy Utterback, he's a conservationist who posts videos of his shrimp "dancing" (this is how they eat!) to rave music and uses the revenue to fund their maintenance. There's typically a couple of shrimp rave livestreams a week over on tiktok, so check it out!
