Today’s wet beast is: Man-of-war Fish
Olive’s wet beast fact: this little fishy has evolved to live within the extremely dangerous tentacles of the Portuguese Man O’ War. It is here that the fish feasts upon their gonads. Happy Pride.
honestly these guys... ive seen so many people say that they're afraid of them and that's completely understandable but they're just the silliest lil guys to me and i love them so much. they only feed on much smaller creatures and are entirely harmless to humans- in fact, they've been known to circle around boats but entirely avoid divers! i've always liked to imagine that they just like saying hi 🥰
even though they're massive and slightly scary looking, these guys have never been documented to directly hurt a human and are just friendly lil guys who want to eat all of the plankton they can find, and i love that for them 💜
They tend to swim by undulating their very long dorsal fin and keeping the rest of their body still.
Wake up babe new fish dropped
sharks are just like giant kitties tbh. they’re just curious silly little creatures. they’re just interested in what’s around them. they bite you the same way a cute little kitty bites you. they’re just trying to get to know you. why do you hate them so so much they think you’re interesting and they’re cute. leave them alone
