I like fishes, marine mammals and coca cola

Opinions my own, although I might get fired for them
Unironically love when people send me these kinds of videos or photos of fish and ask me what species there are. People really think too highly of me.

I know I tried to keep this marine related, and this is freshwater, but it is weird enough to be worth mentioning. #Indonesian crayfish that are common in the pet trade are being described as a new species

Brightly colored creature—kept in pet aquariums globally—discovered as new species
Far from its home in Indonesia, a brightly colored creature moved around in an aquarium. Scientists peered into the tank, studying their pet-turned-specimen—and discovered it was a new species.

🔥 New Publication! We systematically reviewed articles reporting hybrids involving keystone aquatic and semi-aquatic megafauna (aquatic mammals, reptiles and elasmobranchs). The results showed an increase in reports in recent years.

Today I saw another cibertroca, which means there are at least two (2) cybertrucks in Cancun, which is two (2) cybertrucks too much.

In July, we told you that Hakai Magazine will close at the end of December. Since sharing that devastating news, we’ve worked very hard to find a way to keep publishing the ocean and coastal journalism that you love.

We’re happy to finally announce that our team has a new home!

So I'm gonna celebrate Christmas with my gf today and I'm giving her the gift I bought her that I have since November and have planned since September and you know what she did yesterday? She went ahead and ordered the exact thing I bought her :(

My girlfriend told me I dress like Adam Sandler and my confidence has never been so low... especially because it's true

The fact that I moved to the Caribbean because I hate the cold, we have an apparent temperature outside of 33° C (91° F) and I have to dress LIKE THIS in my office because the AC is so cold, is, frankly, homophobic.

Now that my rant is over,does anybody know if there is a feed for marine mammalogy?

Hey guys, haven't been active here a lot because I've been busy with something very dangerous that's happening in Mexico, anti captivity lobbyists are pressuring the Senate to pass a resolution that would change the law to forbid marine mammal reproduction in captivity, this is bad for a few reasons

Great news! (just a little fact checking, infancy in bottlenose dolphins rarely reaches a decade, it usually lasts until the next calf is born, and it tends to last between 3 and 6 years, the reported maximum infancy was of 11 years and it was observed in Sarasota but it was an isolated case)
