but they live in the ocean: meet tomopteris helgolandica, apolychaete worm that lives above the abyssal plane: it is also unequivocally a Space Dragon.
we all know about Blue Whales. huge, majestic, largest creature on the face of the planet, bluh bluh bluh. BUT DID YOU KNOW. the best part about these guys.
is that this is what it looks like when Blue Whales feed
haha it looks like someone started a balloon animal and gave up halfway
or glued a water balloon to a garden hose and called it a day. anyway in conclusion nature is wonderful, majesty is overrated and I deeply hope I’ve ruined whales for you forever because the best part of nature is that grace and majesty is always a thin veneer trying to conceal the truly ridiculous
it’s time to talk about weird animals again here at bunjywunjy.tumblr.com, and today our topic is Predatory Tunicates, which are a species of evil sock puppet that lives on the sides of deep sea canyons.
wokka wokka wokka!
they function pretty much exactly like you’d think they would, behaving much like a venus flytrap.
fish goes in, fish DOES NOT COME OUT
the Predatory Tunicate is also the only tunicate known to be carnivorous. other tunicates are content to drift in the currents like lonely plastic bags, lacking the drive and ambition of the Predatory Tunicate.
role model!
also, like most deep sea creatures, Predatory Tunicates are massively improved by the addition of googly eyes.
