Did you know jellyfish don't have a brain? They also don't have hearts or a central nervous system. They do however have a collective of nerves forming a nerve net. This allows them to sense and respond to stimuli such as touch, light, and temperature. Despite this, they can still perform complex behaviors, including swimming, feeding, and even learning. These are just a few facts I'm going to go over about jellyfish in this blog entry. Let's start off with a few basic facts about jellyfish. They are about 95% water. They have no brain, heart, or bones. Their tentacles are covered in tiny stinging cells called nematocysts. These cells fire microscopic harpoons that inject venom. They mostly drift with ocean currents rather than actively swimming long distances. Jellyfish have existed for over 500 million years, making them older than dinosaurs and some species have remained relatively unchanged for millions of years. The box jellyfish is one of the most venomous marine animals in the world. The species known as the “immortal jellyfish”, Turritopsis dohrnii, can revert back to its juvenile form after reaching adulthood, potentially repeating its life cycle. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now I'll go ahead and do a myth vs. fact jellyfish addition too. Myth #1: All jellyfish are deadly. Fact: Most jellyfish stings are painful but not life-threatening to humans. However, species like the box jellyfish can be extremely venomous. Myth #2: If it’s dead, it can’t sting you. Fact: Even dead jellyfish can still sting. Their stinging cells (nematocysts) can fire after the jellyfish has washed ashore. Myth #3: Jellyfish are fish. Fact: Despite the name, jellyfish are not fish. They’re in the phylum Cnidaria, making them more closely related to corals and sea anemones. Myth #4: Jellyfish don’t have eyes. Fact: Some species do! Certain box jellyfish species have surprisingly complex eyes that can detect light and shapes. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Box Jellyfish This section will be dedicated to the box jellyfish, the most deadly of the jellyfish. Currently we know of around 51 species of the box jellyfish which are grouped into 2 orders and 8 families. Stings from some species, including Chironex fleckeri, Carukia barnesi, Malo kingi, and a few others, are extremely painful and often fatal to humans. This venom is delivered by contact with it's tentacles. The most venomous box jellyfish is the Chironex fleckeri, commonly known as the Australian box jellyfish or sea wasp. It has extremely potent venom that attacks the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. and the more severe stings can cause intense pain, cardiac complications, and in rare cases, can be fatal if not treated quickly. It’s primarily found in the coastal waters of northern Australia and parts of Southeast Asia. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Immortal Jellyfish The immortal jellyfish is the species Turritopsis dohrnii and it’s famous for its unusual ability to essentially “reset” its life cycle. It can revert from its adult stage back to its juvenile polyp stage and it can do this process multiple times. This process is called transdifferentiation, where specialized cells transform into different types of cells. When stressed, injured, or nearing the end of its life, it can transform its adult cells back into immature cells and return to its earlier polyp stage. From there, it can grow into a new adult again. Is it truly "immortal"? No, not really. It can still die from things like predators, disease, or environmental changes too. These jellyfish are actually super tiny, about the size of your pinky nail. Scientists are currently studying them to learn more about aging, cellular regeneration, and stem cell processes. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moon Jelly This is the most common species of jellies, and likely one you've seen. This species is hardy and super easy to care for, and often found in aquariums. It's found in temperate and tropical oceans worldwide and most common in bays, estuaries, harbors, and coastal waters. Usually about 10–16 inches (25–40 cm) across. Has relatively mild venom, generally harmless to humans. Feeds mostly on plankton and small marine organisms. Moves by gently pulsing its bell, drifting with currents. Good news, you can have these as pets. Here's a few key things to know or have if you're going to do that: You're going to need a kreisel tank and they cannot live in regular tanks and thrive. These types of tanks will allow them to float suspended in the water, prevents them from getting stuck in corners, and creates a gentle current for them that they need to survive. Moon jellies are very soft-bodied and they can tear easily if they touch any type of hard surface or filters. They are very sensitive to water quality. Because of this you'll need to keep the tank temperature around 60–70F (15–21C). Of course, it will have to be a salt water tank with strong filtration and keep the water clean at all times. Clean water is critical because jellyfish have no immune system like vertebrates. For food, they'll eat mostly baby brine shrimp or specialized jellyfish food blends you can order online and they'll need to be fed 1-2 times daily. Because they lack complex digestive systems, uneaten food must be cleaned out quickly to prevent water quality issues. Keep in mind, even though they look simple enough to care for, they are not beginner pets and require a lot of care and work. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To end, I'll leave you with a few pictures I took of jellyfish at the Ripley's Aquarium.

lol back on here after i disappeared for almost a year. Although I've gone through a lot in that span of time i still love anime and the internet!! Lets be frens

Tonight's blog is all about the farm animals of the ocean, sea bunnies, sea sheep, and even sea pigs. These are three adorable, oddly named creatures that sound like they belong in a barnyard but actually can be found on the sea floor. Yes they have fuzzy "ears", leafy "wool", and even look like little pig blobs, but they have almost nothing in common except for the cuteness factor. So, if you've never heard about these weird little guys before, and you're unsure what they look like, here are some pictures of each, and some facts about each species to start off with. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sea Bunnies The "fur" is actually composed of tiny, rod-like structures called caryophyllidia, which act as sensory organs. The two antenna-like appendages on their head are called rhinophores, used to detect chemical scents in the water to find food and mates. Sea bunnies are toxic. They consume sponges containing toxins and store these compounds in their bodies as a defense mechanism, making them unpalatable to predators. So don't be confused by how cute and fluffy they look, however although toxic, they are generally considered harmless to humans, but their delicate bodies should never be touched. While they are usually white with black spots, they also appear in yellow, orange, or brown varieties. They are very small, usually measuring less than 1 inch (2.54 cm). They are found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Despite their name, they are marine mollusks and do not have gills like a fish; they have exposed, feather-like gills on their rear. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sea Pigs: They inhabit the deepest parts of the ocean, often called the abyss, across the globe. They are deposit feeders, eating decaying organic matter, bacteria, and carcasses that fall to the seafloor. Their skin is toxic, containing chemicals that can break down red blood cells, which helps protect them from predators. They move in large groups, often facing the same direction to navigate currents, and sometimes act as "babysitters" for juvenile crabs that hide on their backs. Generally 1.5 to 6 inches (4 to 15 cm), though they can reach up to 8 inches. They are found on the ocean floor at depths of 4,000 to 16,000 feet. They are actually a type of deep-sea cucumber. While they share the "sea" name, they are distinct from sea slugs (which are gastropod mollusks) and belong to a different phylum entirely. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sea Sheep (The Leaf Sheep) Found in shallow tropical waters near Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It is famous for being one of the only animals in the world that can photosynthesize, using stolen chloroplasts from algae (a process called kleptoplasty) to convert sunlight into energy. First discovered in 1993 near Japan's Kuroshima Island. Found in shallow tropical waters, they feed exclusively on Avrainvillea algae. They often graze together like a herd of sheep and group together with other sea sheep. They have an average lifespan of 6-12 months. These slugs are hermaphroditic organisms, meaning they are both female and male. Also, leaf sheep can lay between 2,000 and 4,000 eggs. The eggs hatch in four days. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I hope you enjoyed learning a few things about these cute creatures, and tomorrow's blog will include some photography of fish I've taken myself

Goat hunting doesn't make sense to me either

No way lol but we make a good team together

Goats should be lvl 99 hunting lmao

Did you see the sailing designer island winner? That island looks rly cool.

Today's blog is going to be about one of the strangest creatures inhabiting the ocean - the goblin shark. With its elongated snout, pale skin, and a jaw that can snap forward in an instant, it looks more like something from a science fiction movie than a real fish that should be in the ocean. This lil guy is rarely seen and not a lot is known about it, yet this mysterious shark has been swimming in our oceans for over 125 million years, earning its nickname as a “living fossil.” They are from an ancient family called the Mitsukurinidae family from the early Cretaceous period, and they haven't changed much since they coexisted right along side the dinosaurs and are the last remaining species of their kind. Why haven't they changed much in millions of years? That's due to their habitat - living in the deep sea - an environment that is incredibly stable compared to the surface world. Down there, temperatures are cold, light is nearly nonexistent, and conditions don’t fluctuate dramatically over time. When an environment stays consistent for millions of years, animals that are already well adapted to it don’t face strong evolutionary pressure to change, thus is the case for the goblin shark. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few quick facts about the goblin shark species: Goblin sharks live in deep water, usually 300–4,000 feet below the surface. Their skin looks pink because their blood vessels show through their semi-transparent skin. They have a long, flattened snout filled with electroreceptors that help them detect prey in total darkness. Their jaws can shoot forward in less than a second to grab prey. This makes it one of the fastest jaw projections among sharks. They mainly eat deep-sea fish, squid, and crustaceans. Goblin sharks can grow up to about 10–13 feet long, though most are smaller. They are rarely seen alive because they live so deep in the ocean. The first goblin shark was discovered off the coast of Japan in 1898. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The goblin shark is a big reminder about how much we don't know about our planet, or the species that reside here along side us. Living close to 125 million years, but never seen by human eyes until little over a hundred years ago, and living at such depths that they are still rarely seen today. Pictures and information about them are extremely rare, and most of what scientists understand comes from the few specimens accidentally caught in deep sea fishing nets. Until technology allows us to explore the deep ocean more freely, the goblin shark will likely remain one of the sea’s most mysterious and least understood predators. Although the goblin shark may look intimidating, it poses no real threat to humans. Its survival across millions of years highlights how stable and mysterious the deep ocean environment truly is. Studying species like the goblin shark not only helps scientists understand marine ecosystems, but also reminds us of the importance of protecting habitats we don't know all that much about yet.

Here Cam, I made you something LMAOOOO aNYWAYS, Onto more serious things, here are some PFP's for @Zariel ~ And so we match, some for me ~

FINISHED THE LISA SIGGY ~ For @giuls

If you sail to Wintumber Island and chart the crab monument from land you unlock crab rave dance emote. Everyone went to where Jase was streaming from on AG's boat and was doing the crab rave dance in the background while singing the American Idiot song XD

The age of crab begins!!!!!

I'm behind, AsianGrinder got 99 in 5 days from release. Do the orcas attack me once I start steering that? lmao At what level do I unlock the F-35 stealth jets for my Nimitz Class catapult capable nuclear powered super carrier?

I'm doing the GG rn Tbh I find TT, JJ, and GG to be some of the worse content in game with how annoying it is but sailing overall as the most fun skill with the other stuff I'm still laughing but angry Serey at pk wars gives us the best outcome when u think about it Well anyway I should get 95 sailing tomorrow

The demonic mode is pretty hard tho it took me awhile to kill it. If it does that one spec it hits double 50s and you're dead in 1 hit. Pretty good guide if anyone wants one and the hardest part I consider to be that charge attack he does at 1 min 40 seconds that keeps KO'ing me Lmao @ the # of cow pets at the GE

TYYYY GUYSSSSSSSSS I ended up making a second wallpaper for my second monitor and it matches really well ~ EDIT: UPDATE~I decided to add Madara to the top part of the app box, you can't see it in the picture I took of my IRL desktop because it was added after, but I think Madara there sleeping on his little cushion was the missing factor Shoulda turned my lil pink lights on so its all pink but good enough ~

Can you give me 3rd age too? @Stari hey, cool, glad you're here too

Recently I was talking a lot of fish talk with @Kazuma Satou and @Zariel and it gave me an idea for some new blog entries. I haven't updated my blog in awhile, and I've pretty much done all blog entries of photography I've taken, so this is a new one for me. Since I'm studying fish and working towards a PhD in Marine Sciences, I thought it would be fun to do several entries focused on fishy friends and fun fishy facts It won't be all fish, I'll also focus on different types of marine life as well. I want to try to do one entry a day this week, mostly to brush up on facts myself and this helps with my studies too so it's win/win. Maybe someone can learn something too or at least be entertained for a few minutes Today I will talk about the almighty Mola Mola, otherwise known as a sunfish. These are my absolute favorite fish simply because they look so dorky and are silly little guys (I like my fish how I like my men, what can I say? LOL). If you've never seen one, they look like someone didn't know what a fish looked like and tried to draw one: A few quick facts about the Ocean Sunfish: They weigh between 250 - 1,000 KG (or 545 - 2,200 pounds). They can be up to 1.8m long (around 5ft 10 inches), and specimens up to 3.3m (10ft, 10 inches) tall have been recorded from fin-to-fin height. The largest one on record was records in New Zealand and weighed 2,300 KG (5,100 pounds). Sunfish are not wide and have virtually no width and are a flat fish. It recieved its name because it likes to sunbathe on top of the water and is commonly seen floating around at the surface of the water. In German, it is also referred to as Schwimmender Kopf, or "swimming head", and in Polish, it is named samogłów, meaning "head alone", because it has no true tail. The earliest known fossils of the sunfish date back to the Holocene period, around 11,700 years ago. There is a freshwater version of sunfish but it is not related to the Mola Mola and is part of the Centrarchidae family. The Sunfish shares a lot of characteristics with the Puffer fish and was originally mistakenly classified as part of the Puffer fish family. Likely due to the fact they have beaks to eat with instead of teeth like a Puffer fish. It was believed in early research that Sunfish just drift along with the ocean current to travel, but recently species have been recorded traveling 26 KM (16 miles) in a day and actively hunting at 200m (650 ft) and below and they can go as fast as 3.2km an hour (1.9 miles an hour). A sunfishes main predators are Seals, Sea Lions, Sharks, and Killer Whales. Not a lot is yet known about Sunfish because they haven't been researched extensively, and we are only recently discovering more about their mating, eating, and migration patterns. There was a lot of misinformation about them up until recent years as well. For example, their diet was once thought to consist mainly of jellyfish and Gelatinous Zooplankton, but in recent years it's been determined they consume mostly Flounder, Eel, and Squid. As for their lifespan, we still don't even know that because it's not yet been documented in their natural habitat, though it's believed they may be able to live around 25 years. Another type of Sunfish is the Giant Sunfish, which is slightly different to the Mola Molas, although they are in the same family. These are considered to be the largest bony fish and weight up to 2,700 kilograms (6,000 lb) and is usually 3.3 m (11 feet). They are easily distinguishable from Mola Molas as they are much wider and have bumpy bodies: Sunfish pose no harm to humans and are often docile so if you find yourself diving next to one, you don't need to worry as they will likely ignore you, and you can probably get a really cool picture next to a HUGE fish~! I'm thinking tomorrow's entry I might do crabs, but if you have suggestions let me know in the comments~

I think because of the goat hunting mention in the new updates though at this point I'm not sure I remember anymore.

How then?

I made these for @giuls I ended up making a lot but she'S SO CUTEEEE And hopefully this site doesn't delete it but if it does I'll re-upload it -.-

The crafting game looks like it needs a lot of balancing.

The Sailing MV kinda slaps and I like that Pessi and Durial are in it lmao See you under your bed ahaaa and everywhere else.

Yeah I've no intention of chasing THAT ONE down lol I leave PVM still to @Jellal Or @Zariel who is reallly good at it now... prolly better at PK'ing than me too now

So today's blog is going to be about octopus, the most intelligent invertebrates in the ocean. I'll do some quick facts, as well as some info about how smart these guys are, and go over some ways to tell octopus apart from squid. There's so much I'd like to cover about them, but I don't want to write hundreds of paragraphs, and it would be super easy to with these guys. They have complex nervous systems, advanced camouflage abilities, and remarkable problem-solving skills, they challenge everything we think we know about animal intelligence and are very interesting little guys to be around or research. Let's do a few fun facts about these guys first: An octopus has three hearts. Two pump blood to the gills, and one pumps it to the rest of the body. Fun fact: the heart that pumps to the body actually stops beating when they swim, which is why they prefer crawling. Octopus blood is blue because it contains hemocyanin, a copper based molecule that helps transport oxygen in cold, low oxygen ocean environments. About two-thirds of an octopus’s neurons are in its arms, not its brain. Each arm can taste, touch, and even move semi-independently so it’s almost like they have eight tiny brains. Some species, like the Mimic Octopus, can impersonate other sea animals such as lionfish, flatfish, and sea snakes. They can change color, texture, and even body shape in seconds. Octopuses can open jars, navigate mazes, and remember solutions. They’re considered among the most intelligent invertebrates on Earth. Because they have no bones, an octopus can squeeze through any hole larger than its beak, which is about the size of a coin in many species. Each suction cup can taste what it touches. That's the equivalent to if you could taste with your fingertips. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Octopus vs. Squid: Knowing the difference. Octopus: Has a round, soft body. Mostly found on the sea floor. An Octopus has a rounded shaped head. Octopus have eyes on the top of their heads. They are solitary creatures and do not live in groups. They can be seen with babies sometimes, as they care for their young. An Octopus only has 8 arms, and does not have tentacles like the squid does. Squids: They have a very triangular shaped head and their bodies are long as opposed to the Octopus, which is more round. Squids have 8 arms and 2 tentacles. Their eyes are on the sides of their heads. Squids have been known to live in groups and can often be found with other squid. They are usually found in the open ocean and not on the sea floor like an octopus. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The smartest animal of the ocean? Octopuses are considered the most intelligent invertebrates on Earth, with complex nervous systems and around 500 million neurons distributed throughout their bodies. Unlike most animals, a large portion of their neurons are located in their arms, allowing them to process information and move semi-independently. This unique setup contributes to their impressive problem-solving abilities. In laboratory settings, octopuses have been observed opening screwtop jars to reach food, navigating mazes, recognizing individual humans, and even escaping from secure tanks. They are capable of learning through observation and remembering solutions to tasks long after first encountering them. Their intelligence makes the octopus one of the most remarkable thinkers in the ocean. When faced with a new obstacle, an octopus will explore it with careful, deliberate movements, testing and adjusting until it finds a solution. Studies have shown they can distinguish between shapes and patterns, remember successful strategies, and adapt when circumstances of their environment change. Their ability to rapidly camouflage by processing visual information and altering their skin in real time also reflects advanced neural control. Rather than reacting automatically, octopuses demonstrate curiosity, memory, and problem-solving skills that suggest a highly developed and independently evolved form of intelligence. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hope you guys enjoyed reading this, and walked away with a little more info about octopus!~

I just need one of those...

Oki doki girl, np ~ I'll make tonight or tomorrow Andddddd finally made some Natsume GFX ~ The one desktop wallpaper is for me, the other I made for my sister which is Sasaki and Miyano. Kinda GFX'ed out now, time to break lol Side note ~ they look much better if you enlarge them, because they're so big the website scrunches them up.

Before we begin: no, this is not Snake Head Terror. There will be no low-budget CGI here, probably no screaming people, and, possibly unfortunately, no chainsaw showdowns with a 50 foot long snakehead. We’re talking about real snakeheads today. I know he said I don't have to credit him, but I still want to say that @Kazuma Satou gave me a ton of facts for this blog and I appreciate him for it, (and for listening to me ramble about fish the entire last week lol). Before we begin, you might be wondering what the heck is a snakehead and the first image that comes into your mind is probably something from a movie. There are over 50+ species of snakeheads that are divided into 2 different groups: Channa and Parachanna. The 2 main types I'm going to be talking about today are Northern Snakeheads and the Ceylon Snakeheads both from the Channa groups. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few facts about Ceylon Snakeheads: Incredibly dangerous, even to their own species, they will eat smaller members of their own species. They don't stay in one place for long. when food becomes scarce they move to other ponds by jumping on the ground and they can survive without water for a while. They can heal fast, with bruises from walking across land healing within a day. Can grow up to 10–13 inches (25–33 cm). They don't hesitate to attack humans and if you put a finger into the water they'll swim toward it at lightning speed and try to bite it. They're fast swimmers and when they feel like they're under attack, they stir up the mud to make water unclear. They're easy to catch if you just slowly place a net in front of them and tap their back they'll swim straight into it. The Ceylon is one of the smaller snakehead species and often referred to as the "Dwarf Snakehead". Habitat: Streams, rivers, ponds, and wetlands. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few facts about Northern Snakeheads: Originally from China, Russia, and Korea and is classified as an invasive species in the United States. Can grow up to 4 feet (about 1.2 meters) long and weigh up to 15 pounds. Like the Ceylon, they "walk" by wiggling on land from one body of water to another and can breathe air for several days. Eats fish, frogs, crustaceans, insects, and sometimes small birds or mammals but if it fits in their mouth, they will eat it. They prefer sluggish waters with dense vegetation, but can inhabit canals, rivers, and ponds. They are highly adaptable to temperatures ranging from 32F - 90F(0C - 32C). A female Northern Snakehead can lay up to 100,000 eggs per year and they can double their population in as little as 15 years. Northern snakeheads are respected among some Chinese fishermen for their virtue, as parent snakefish are known to sacrifice themselves to protect their young. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Myths VS. Facts: Snakehead edition. Myth #1: They can crawl for miles on land. Fact: They cannot go on epic cross-country journeys. They can survive out of water for a short time if kept moist and may wriggle short distances to reach nearby water and they are not planning to attack any local towns. Myth #2: They attack humans. Fact: There are no confirmed cases of Northern Snakeheads hunting people. They’re aggressive toward other fish (especially when guarding babies), but you are not on the menu unless you go sticking your hands in the water or aquarium you have them and then yes, they will dart at your hand and likely try to bite you because they'll think it's a food source. Myth #3: They’re venomous because they look like snakes. Fact: They are not venomous and not at all related to snakes despite the name. Myth #4: They’ll completely destroy every ecosystem instantly. Fact: They are invasive in parts of the U.S., and they can compete with native species which is a real ecological concern, but they are not machines of mass destruction (despite that movie lol) Ecosystem impact varies by location. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I hope you enjoyed reading this, and tomorrow we will be covering Sea Bunnies~! And of course, I had to throw this in here for @Zeref, his favorite movie LOL

Today I'm going to do my blog on two of my favorite marine creatures - seals and sea lions. I worked with these guys over the Summer at the zoo so I got a lot of hands-on experience dealing with both. Much like the Sunfish from my previous blog entry, I can also say these guys are complete silly little dorks too. Seals make the most hilarious faces and sea lions have personalities that are as giant as they are. A lot of people confuse them for each other and it's easy to do so, since they are usually housed together at the zoo. Hopefully after this blog you'll be able to identify who is who the next time you see them~! First off, I'll start with a few differences between seals and sea lions: If you see them in a zoo encloser, they are probably swimming. One way to tell who is who is seals swim by using their back flippers in a side to side motion, and sea lions tend to use their large front flippers. When you look at their heads, you'll notice that sea lions have visible external ear flaps, whereas a seal just has tiny holes where their ears are. Sea lions have much longer necks compared to seals and they often sit upright, and a seal will usually lay flat and scoot around on land. Size-wise there is a pretty big difference. Sea lions are up to 10 feet long, weighing up to 1,000 pounds, and seals are around 5-8 feet long and only weigh up to 300 - 400 pounds usually. If you see one "barking" and making a lot of loud noises, chances are you're looking at a sea lion as seals tend to be quieter and make softer grunts. So in summary > If it's screaming at you, has ear flaps, and it's walking on land, you're probably looking at a sea lion, and if it's being quiet like a ninja, earless, and flopping around on land, odds are it's a seal. Here is a good chart to use when comparing: And now for a real picture, you can immediately spot some of the differences, noticing the "hole" on the seals head for ears compared to the obvious flapped ears of the sea lion. The flippers also make it very obvious which is which, with the sea lion having those large and outward facing flippers. Also this picture makes it very easy to note the difference in how their necks look, with the sea lions being much longer. I'll leave you with a few fun facts about seals and sea lions. Seals can sleep underwater and can surface for air without waking up. Seal pups are born very fluffy with white fur, and later shed it. Sea lions are highly intelligent and can solve problems, recognize patterns, learn tricks, and remember commands. A seals whiskers are able to detect even the smallest of water movements, allowing it to hunt fish in dark or murky waters. Male sea lions are known to be extremely aggressive and get much larger than the female sea lion. During mating season they become extremely territorial. A seal can reach speeds of up to 15-20 miles per hour and a sea lion can reach speeds of up to 25. Sea lions have been known to dive as deep as 600 feet. Seal moms and pups find each other in seal colonies through sound alone and are able to identify each other's individual "voices". I hope you enjoyed this, and I'll see you tomorrow with more fish

I knew he would bring Ash into it lol

Obviously she's singing.

OKAY FIRST OF ALL MY GRAN WOULD DESTROY YOU HEYY HEYYLELLLL HEYYYAAA HEYLELLL HEYHEYHEY HEYLELLLL ~he's gonna slap me lmaooo That's cooLLL though are you liking it? I'm doing sailing rn I figure I'll get 84 tonight.

THERE IS SURELY OTHER WAYS TO CATCH GOATS THAT AREN'T YEETING THEM OFF A CLIFF X.X

That's not hunting then, that's more of a mini-game. How far can you toss the goat lol

Well update, I made these for @Kazuma Satou and I'm just hoping this site doesn't delete it zzzzz

ONE BALLOON. That one balloon was mine and that ass stole it. One. Fudgin. Balloon.

I hate drop parties lately -.-

We need to do a black chicken parade soon

While dressed as a chicken

Me either I kept clicking ... on it for some reason trying to find like I got 99 yesterday

I got the one that summons that corpse that revives 9x before dying. I just ran away I thought awwnaww xP

AGREE I'M THE KING OF THE WORLDDDDDD ON A BOAT LIKE LEEEOOO, IF YOU ON THE SHORE THAN YOU SUREEE NOT ME OOOHHH This place hella crowded Also wattt the hellyyy Also this is my fave place out here with the dolphins on this abandon island in the middle of the Ardent Ocean.

You just don't get our vIBEEEE old man Anyways his stream needed spiced up all he does is be iron YES WE FOUND IT AND WE PROMPTLY RAN THE HECK AWAY THANK U NOPE @Zariel got a nimitz class catapult capable nuclear powered super carrier now and we are going hunting THE AGE OF MEN IS OVER

Since graduating high school, I've mostly been working fast food, studying japanese, and drawing repeat repeat repeat... That was until I took the JLPT n4 test in december. I failed it. But ya, I did. I learned a lot about how the test works and how to study for it. I'm still studying as much as I can, but now I have a new goal! I'm drawing a manga for Silent Manga Audition! I'm still studying japanese for N3.... which is the next hardest test. the thing is I almost passed the test, and I just don't want to take it again! I have a lot of goals now, and I'm making progress in them so its ok! On top of that, I'm starting a phelubotomy course starting in April so I don't have to keep working in fast food. My job is chill, but sometimes its brain numbing. yknow? So now I have so many things on my plate, the manga contest (may 10th is the deadline), JLPT n3 (next december), and work. Its kind a lot but it keeps me busy! In January I was feeling pretty down bc I was just waiting for my test results, but now I have things to do which is nice! I've only completed one page of my manga, so I kinda need to lock in and work on that. I'm gonna do that right now, but just to give u guys an idea of what its about, the title is "I had a Dream where I Learned how to Skateboard, so I turned it into a Reality!" But ya, lots of things going on. But I'm locked in!!!!!!!!! RAHHHHHHHHH☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆

I'm at 252 KC right now and so far no pet but I've green logged everything else. I've got the cow slipper drop x2, bottomless milk bucket 5+ times, Mooleta 6+ times and I stopped picking those up because I don't want or even need those item lol Just wanted the cow slippers and the pet.

I'm posting this a little later than I wanted to today, but I haven't been feeling the greatest over the last 24 hours and I've had a bit of a fever. I'm feeling better now though so decided to post this before I go back to bed. Today I'm doing a little info-blog about stingrays and manta rays, their differences, similarities, habits, and hopefully a lot of facts you'll find interesting about both species. First, let's talk a little about the differences between stingrays and manta rays. Stingrays: Flat, diamond-shaped, or circular bodies. Their habitat is usually coastal waters and sandy or muddy areas. For food they scoop or suck prey up from the sand. They have a whip like tail that may have one or more stingers depending on the species of rays. Likes to be buried in the sand. Manta Rays: Much larger than stingrays, they have triangular pectoral fins and cephalic lobes near their mouth. They are more often found in large open areas of the ocean. They do sometimes come to the coast as well but they typically prefer more open areas. They are filter feeders and swim with their mouths open. Their tails are very thin, short, and they do not have stingers. They migrate and are very social. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some easy ways to tell the difference between stingrays and manta rays: The easiest way is size. Stingrays are much smaller, usually 1-6 feet, and manta rays are huge reaching sizes of up to 23 feet across. Stingrays are often sitting on the sea floor or in shallow areas, manta rays are usually in deeper ocean areas near reefs. Another good way is to look for the mouth. The mouth of a stingray is on the underside, designed for bottom feeding, and the mouth of a ray is on the front of their body and they are usually swimming with it wide open for filter feeding. So if you've got a huge fish swimming at you with its mouth wide open, odds are it's a manta ray. Here's a good image for visual with a manta ray on the left and a sting ray on the right: The above picture also helps you visualize the shape, you can see the sting rays are much rounder and the manta rays appear to have wings. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ While neither species is aggressive, it is important to remember that stingrays, while not aggressive by nature, can become defensive, and use their tails to protect themselves and sting, especially if stepped on. Manta rays are generally very gentle, curious, and don't have a stinger to harm you with. Manta rays = ocean puppies, stingrays = spicy sand pancakes. Here are a few parting facts you might find interesting about both: Giant manta rays can grow up to 23 feet (7 meters) across. Stingrays often bury themselves in sand with only their eyes sticking out. Manta rays have the largest brain-to-body ratio of any fish. They show signs of intelligence, curiosity, and even self-awareness. Some researchers believe they may recognize themselves in mirrors. Despite their size, mantas eat tiny plankton. Stingrays eat clams, shrimp, worms, and small fish, and they use their powerful jaws to crush shells. Female mantas usually give birth to one pup at a time and sometimes only every 2–3 years. Stingrays are part of the cartilaginous fish family, meaning their skeletons are made of cartilage, not bone Manta rays can live 40–50 years, possibly longer. Stingrays can detect tiny electrical signals from prey hiding in the sand. Mantas are known to leap completely out of the ocean. Scientists aren’t 100% sure why but it could be possibly for communication, mating displays, or just showing off. Stingrays usually have between 2-6 pups at a time. The spot pattern on a manta ray’s belly is like a fingerprint with each one having a different one. Researchers use these patterns to identify individuals. See you guys tomorrow for my snakehead blog~! I hope you enjoyed reading this one.
