A mystery to everyone | Everyone is special in their own stupid way #photography <- I do photography stuff sometimes too :) 30 he/him

Also my cousin-in-law (do you call them that?) encountered a shark while he was kayak fishing in the ocean. He said it was about 8-10ft (there've been other reports of the same shark in the area); he saw its belly, which was WHITE, so like... YA KNOW. GREAT. He's totally fine, but still, CRAZY

Got some great pictures today of brown pelicans diving into the water from the air, swallowing what they caught, and being harassed by (I think) Heermann's gulls! Plus pictures of cormorants, black oystercatchers, a family of black turnstones, and even an osprey soaring 🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼

Underworld figures are always sitting in the back of their nightclubs so you have to walk by all the hot people dancing and having a great time first before talking business with them, this is deliberate to remind you that life is full of fun, lift your mood and bolster your spirits

For a while, we only knew Promachoteuthis sulcus from a single specimen. The most striking thing about this specimen was its "toothy" smile, so we thought it was a bit of a creep. But then we saw one live in 2024 and they are beautiful! Sorry that we were so mean to you, squid! #SQUIDtember

Oral view of brachial crown of Promachoteuthis sulcus, holotype. The squid seems to have a set of dentures. The "dentures" are the circular, folded lips, of which only the upper and lower portions can be seen. The lips surround the beaks which are not visible in this photograph.A live Promachoteuthis sulcus floating in the sea. It is pointing vertically on a slight tilt. It has a translucent white colour, except for most of its limbs and eyes which are a dark red. Its red limbs are hanging downward, but it has two white limbs that are pointing out and forming an upside down V shape. You can vaguely see organs in its mantle but it is like looking through frosted glass.
