is that a fish? or an effects plugin?

There are three genders of midshipman fish: females, type I males, and type II males. Type I and type II males have different reproductive strategies, and can be distinguished from each other based on physical characteristics. Type I males are eight times larger in body mass, and have much larger vocal organs. Type II males’ reproductive organs are seven times the size of type I males. Female and type II male midshipman fish can be distinguished from each other by the female’s slightly larger size, and the type II male midshipman’s large reproductive organs.

Video captured off the coast of Panama shows a surprising underwater swarm of red crabs, spotted further south than ever before. Where are they headed?

It should really be something off of one of Frankie Laine's country albums.

Feel better about my own job now.

Not as weird as some, but I was explaining to my daughter about wobbegongs last night, and thought they belonged here in their role as beautiful/weird sharks:

What is that?! I like it very much. Note the eye and the delicate violet plumage.

It certainly is punk of the Church of England to think that way (tangenttangent), Friday, 10 June 2016 14:02 (nine years ago)

looks like a bird of paradise of some kind

imago, Friday, 10 June 2016 14:04 (nine years ago)

If possible, please can you get it for me.

It certainly is punk of the Church of England to think that way (tangenttangent), Friday, 10 June 2016 14:06 (nine years ago)

i can get you the wiki page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seychelles_paradise_flycatcher

note: this isn't a true bird of paradise, even though 'paradise' is in the name

imago, Friday, 10 June 2016 14:10 (nine years ago)

I am not convinced it is the same one. I think it looks more like the Japanese paradise flycatcher.

But actually, all the paradise flycatcher species appear to be lovely. See below:

Not weird, but clearly very important.

sorry about your thread though, dayo. to atone for this invasion of Monarch Flycatchers, I will post an animal of genuinely unhinged behaviour, whose name is also Monarch:

imago, Friday, 10 June 2016 15:06 (nine years ago)

worth reading up on the Monarch butterfly - it seems to be going the way of the Passenger Pigeon, which in a few decades went from America's most populous bird (the Monarch butterfly is/was the most populous butterfly too) to completely extinct due to population crash and migration failure. the Monarch is running out of habitat and its numbers are falling through the floor. it's all horrible

imago, Friday, 10 June 2016 15:16 (nine years ago)

Where I live the Monarchs used to pass through as part of their migration - you'd see tons of trees (eucalyptus, I think) covered with them like that picture, it was crazy. Now you see a few but nothing like that.

On this timescale, all matter is liquid. (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:37 (nine years ago)
