Its elongated pectoral fins and large tail allow it to glide through the powerful underwater thermal currents found deep beneath the geyser fields, in a manner similar to how a bird flies. Despite its somewhat fearsome appearance, the Kite is a filter feeder and only preys upon the tiny plankton which also call the geysers home. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzE2iCtn3AS/?igshid=13k04nxjb4qy8

#Gallopanth #Gallagos #hydrothermic Gallagos has little in the way of flora or fauna, and what does exist must be incredibly hardy to survive. All plants on Gallagos exist underwater, within its intensely heated geyser systems. The Gallopanth is the only creature on Gallagos known to leave the water itself, basking in the coolness provided by the shade from rock formations, and sustaining themselves on the oxygen carried from the water into the atmosphere during hydrothermic eruptions. The Gallopanth is blind, as all creatures on Gallagos are (for no creature's eyes could survive those tempuratures). Instead they find their way around using their sensitive tongues, which serve the double purpose of sifting out nutrients within the water, which they then feed into it's gaping maw. Gallopanths survive on a diet of water-borne nutrients, crustaceans in the geyser systems, and salts from the rocks on land which help build up their thick, rocky underbellies. A Gallopanth can survive in a Geyser for up to an hour, but even it's thick, leathery scales and rocky underbelly will not prevent it from dying if its own blood boils after too long in the hot watery environment. They will usually exit the water after about 45 minutes. Gallopanths range in size from 7-9 feet in length but have been known to grow up to 12 feet in certain areas of the Gallagos Geyser fields. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzEFJNCnSKk/?igshid=lauqh017b5d8

Spending most their lives feeding along the outskirt of the geyser fields, they are one of the few species of crustaceans that can withstand the immense heat and atmospheric pressure of the Gallagos' ocean floor. These water dwelling creatures use the radiating heat of the hydrothermal vents as incubators for their young. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzD9zlGnFvW/?igshid=1cig1y7o86n33

This creature is an essential part of food chain. When the geyser activity is at its peak, thousands of these shrimp get thrown out on the surface providing an excellent food source for other inhabitants of this region. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzD34YFHXVv/?igshid=41fp3mueh6ps
