I'm clearly not in time for shark week, but I've finished this huge shark illustration! I didn't expect it to be this big of a project, yet here we are. It was so much fun to draw these sillies & I hope you love them~

The monstrously beautiful #shrimp #Cerataspis #monstrosa. Seen here as its #larval stage, spinning crazy spirals. I’ve let the speed increase up to its real-life speed at the end to give you an impression of how it really swims, and the difficulties in filming it😵‍💫.

Wishing you a deep-sea Halloween! 🎃

It may be spooky season, but really, the only thing scary about the deep sea is how little we have explored it.

We’ve figured out the tricks on how to get down there, now it’s time to find the treats!

🐌 I guess National Snail Day is a good time to share the overwhelming diversity of •pelagic gastropods• we saw in the Gulf of California, Mexico, last month. We used scuba and trawls on the R/V Sally Ride, supported by NSF grants and expertise of Brad Seibel and Amy Maas. 🦑🧪
Collage of 24 specimens of pelagic gastropods, including heteropods, gymnosome and thecosome pteropods, a pseudothecosome, and a nudibranch.

It raises awareness of global bee decline through systemic pesticides, monoculture, and #climatechange. 🇨🇦

I have no need for genAI. It would improve nothing in my life. It wouldn't save me time. I could not trust any text it assembled. It cannot research. It cannot write like I do. It cannot create like I do.

It cannot justify its existence or its expense.

It is not inevitable. It is not unavoidable.

Absolutely nobody asked for this but I reformatted my animal yeetability thread into printable poster & zine files.

Introducing, the "Pocket Guide to Responsible & Sustainable Animal YEETING" featuring a revamped rating system. Download links below.
Poster showing various animals and their yeetability rating. For full rating, see the link in the reply. Intro text reads: POCKET GUIDE TO RESPONSIBLE & SUSTAINABLE ANIMAL YEETING by franzanth In this context, YEETING is defined as the act of throwing a “projectile” at a slightly upward angle with low initial velocity. The goal here is relocation, not destruction. Therefore, YEETING is ideally performed toward soft surfaces like leaves to minimize downward acceleration that might result in said projectile's discomfort.

“Fish” can refer to a single individual, or multiple individuals from the same species.

“Fishes” refers to multiple species.

It’s back to gracklepalooza! A lot of the grackles have left on their migration, but there are still quite a few hanging around.
With his feathers fresh from the summer moult, this male Common Grackle, was foraging in the trees and decided to fly down to the creek for a drink!
