Just picked up The Octopus And I by Erin Hortle and I was not prepared for how much it was gonna make me cry, especially since i've just come out of a pretty scary surgery myself.
I love the ocean, I love animals.

Look at these!!
these lil guys are the Jorunna Parva also known as the Sea Bunny! they look so much like little bunnies.
It's a type of sea slug (a dorid nudibranch), they're super small at only 1cm long on average. The tail is actually their external gills, they're covered in papillae (used for senses) that make it look fuzzy and it's 'ears' are rhinophores (chemosensory ear like structures).
These little cuties eat sponges and can produce both a sperm and an egg (though they can't reproduce asexually)!
humans have clearly gone wrong somewhere because this is the ultimate life form.
!!SHARKS !!SHARKS !!SHARKS !!SHARKS!!
that last frame is me anytime i open this website
finally sketching some sharks, my faves of all time
this is the stuff, definitely enjoying these
I've barely seen any yeti crab content on here and this is very disappointing because look at these fluffy little guys!!!
They live at deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
This means there's no photosynthesis where they are. SO WHAT DO THEY EAT????
They rely on chemosynthesis instead - i.e. types of bacteria which can create biomass (I feel like you can't create biomass? But I'm not sure what to call it so this is what we're going with!) without any sunlight necessary. They use chemicals from the hydrothermal vent. later edit: they produce energy
Best of all. They grow the bacteria on the fluff!! The fluff is a bacteria home!! And when the crabs need to eat they comb through the fluff and eat the bacteria.
They wave their claws around inside the hydrothermal vent because that is what is best for the bacteria, even though they risk getting burnt
There's a type of yeti crab which is called a Hoff Crab and it's named after David Hasselhoff because it has a hairy chest as demonstrated below
in conclusion they are very cool
Which one are you?
i've gotta go with pollination freak

holy SHIT please read the whole thread and many more of these images right here, this artist put together an updated Opabinia reconstruction where every single one of these minute details (except coloration, obviously) are fully sourced making this most likely the first depiction factoring in 100% of current knowledge about it. Even I didn’t know it had little feet like a velvet worm and could have walked around on them! I never knew exactly how the trunk is oriented or how many “teeth” it is! I especially didn’t know the mouth was that weird! And I kind of assumed this since it’s a lobopod and all, but the whole animal was soft and squishy except for the eyes and the teeth. It did not have armor plates or a jointed exoskeleton like a lot of people portray. This also means all five of the eyes would have been able to bend and look around independently! The eye structure in fossils also indicates that they would have PSEUDOPUPILS! That’s the pupil-like dot in the eyes of insects like mantises!
Sad about museum trip
had to cancel my museum trip and have to be in bed resting but expect me nerding out at all the marine life exhibits in a few days (hopefully)
