If they made an Aquaman version of the Goonies, the Goblin Shark would be Chunk.

Numbats don't get enough love. Not every animal in Australia wants to kill you.

Also they're critically endangered! They're such amazing little cuties and they're dying. It's so sad.

They never were actually extinct. Thought to be yes, turns out they were just very endangered. But yeah, awesome animals.

Don't worry, he can jump his way out of any situation. Markhor enclosures have to be super tall to deal with all the jumping.

Markhor kind of translates to meadow whoring in Norwegian. If you were wondering.

I've actually found 2 @ home in Hawaii on the beach back in '08. Lifeguard didn't know what it was so we Googled it and returned it back

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

well did you figure out what it was?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yea, it's a blue sea slug that eats man-o-wars and absorbs it's stingingness to defend itself, bigger the sea slug, stronger the sting.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Also, it swims upside down to camouflage itself from flying/sea predators. It looked like an alien in my palm, some of the silver came off

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I'm not sure a venomous sea slug is an ideal pet...

Na you're thinking of a green tree Python which looks super similar

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

That species has several color variations, including green, and red (though its a sorta washed out, sandstone red)

belly. Body ends with ivory-white tail. Brightly colored spiny bush vipers (yellow, red or grey) are rarely seen in the wild.

But they do exist? Post doesnt say all are red. Just that that specific snale is red. But good info

Sure, but the photo itself is seriously over-saturated. Not saying the colors themselves are false.

This doesn't yet prove that it looks like that IRL. Often pro cameras take desaturated images bc it holds more color data that way.

10 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

Yeah, I wasn't really concerning myself with what it looked like in reality, just that the photo was indeed oversaturated.

I say "Yeah" but really I had no idea. Thanks for the info. :)
