Don't post much, but very excited by our 8 legged friends around the house.
All at least the size of Canadian nickels.
One was gently relocated though.

Their carcass counts are impressive

You think those are cute? Check this boopable snoot!

First time in NiaGARa falls, had to go to the Aquarium of Niagara and check out the fishes! Great place to visit, highly recommend!
Just a half-hour walk over the bridge!

Just realized I didn't put a photo of the 🐟 on here! For the #fish people...

@palaeoplushies.art the newest ancient fish arrived today!

The shoal continues to grow! Just need that bowfin and ropefish! Got big plans when that happens!

Hoping for a mirrorverse version from @hellbendermuseum.bsky.social while we're at it!

Everyone needs models from both of these artists🐟

Japan mail call! Mostly #fish!🐟
All #freshwater even! Probably the best #bichir model I have right now...
Took a month to get here, very worth it.
And a prehistoric #rodent representing my MSc!

🐟
Last time I introduced a new #fish it was a plush sturgeon from @palaeoplushies.art

This time it's a cryptid-inspired #Polypterus mokelembembe...

His name is Mokaullay Caulkfin and has the appearance of a calico sausage!

Small tank is a temporary quarantine, not a permanent one!

New #fish from @palaeoplushies.art!

Added the new #sturgeon to my #bichir and #gar🦕🐟

Sometimes you need fish to tell the truth 🐟

I know it'll take time. They were rescues, then fostered.
Clearly they know it's home. Just need to accept us as safe people

I need more #primitivefish and more #fish 🐟 on my feed, so I should contribute one. A polypterid I've had for around 8 years...a big happy retropinnis (named Naga).
Willo the cat would also appreciate more fish.

Now I have cats. In the house.

It's been a while since I had young cats.🐈‍⬛🐈

Goes to reptile show.
Buys plants and some inverts.

Being responsible is no fun.

Just met these two floofs this evening!
They'll be coming home to us next week. I hope.

It's been too long (5 months) without a cat in the house

I live in a place without tree squirrels and it feels wrong.🐿️
But marmots have started moving in so that's something.
August 15, 2023 at 1:44 PM
But it's fuzzy...with greyer bands!

I was especially amused by the raised threat posture. I'm guessing I did well by not touching or eating it.

I did touch this moth today though. He's cool with it

Walking home today, came across a very silver magpie. Looks nothing like the ones around it
Not huge on #birds but appreciate this one
August 10, 2023 at 11:16 PM
I have this one. Don't know what it is but it's clearly very dangerous
August 8, 2023 at 3:33 PM
I finally made it. Guess I'll post something.

Why not some beautiful white sturgeon from the Nechako sturgeon hatchery?
