a thylacine on kunanyi/mt wellington

parts 1-2

The body of Wilf Batty’s thylacine, stiff with rigor mortis, tied to a fence on the man’s farm. Mr. Batty shot the animal, believed to be a male, in May of 1930, after it had reportedly been going after his chickens. It’s commonly believed that this represents the last thylacine to be killed in the wild. The photo itself, one of just five known to exist of the individual, was uncovered and shared by the great grandson of the original photographer. [ x ]

any cute nurse shark or whale shark facts?

yes and hiii! thanks for the ask <3

nurse sharks first,

- they spend most of their time laying around reefs or underwater, cuddling together in groups or 2 to 40 (which is how they got their title of laziest shark, but i think its cute)

- younger nurse sharks can change color depending on how much sunlight they’ve been exposed to. pups that were kept in the sun and moved to the shade changed from a dark to light coloration within minutes.

- some nurse shark pups have polka dots!

- they can be trained (using positive reinforcement) to pick up hoops and bring them back to trainers, similarly to dolphins

- their known as the “couch potato of the shark world”

- they have two little knobs on their face called barbels, which contain taste buds that they drag across the ocean floor to find prey

and, not a fact but here’s a picture of the rare dalmatian nurse shark!

and onto whale sharks!

- whale sharks are referred to as “gentle giants”

- they can live up to 150 years

- they may be the world’s biggest fish, but their swimming speed is only 3mph

- whale sharks are filter feeders, which means they can’t bite or chew

- every whale shark has a completely unique pattern, just like fingerprints

hope you enjoyed them!!!!

“No Air”

A female Cuvier’s beaked whale is headed down. Down past the birds. Down past the fish. Down past where light can reach. She’s already in the twilight zone. Soon her lungs will collapse, the negative buoyancy pulling her further down like a sinking bullet. Down down down into the inky black abyss. At 2 kilometres depth she’s in her element. Here she hunts, fighting the squid that over the years have marred her face with scars. She will stay down here as long as it takes. One hour. Two hours. Three, four. It is only the mammalian condition that forces her upwards again. Towards life, towards light. And that crucial breath.

A little painting to celebrate the new mammalian dive record. Previously held by a Cuvier’s beaked whale who dove down to 2992 metres, staying under for 2 hours and 17 minutes. Yesterday news came out that a fellow Cuvier’s broke that record. They stayed down for no less than 3 hours and 42 minutes. Almost four hours without breath. What must it be like to spend life like this, divided between the warm, sun-filled waters, and the absolute blackness of the freezing deep?
