A ceramic salmon like fish with legs, big ol’ eyes, and mouth agape. Its green body fades out to a white belly, broken up by pink cheeks and a thick pink stripe running down its lateral line. Vertical black stripes run down its body, and gold lustre linework accents its pupils, stripes, and individual scales.
The Taiwan Spurdog was accidentally discovered in a Taiwanese fish market by two scientists. This endangered shark is endemic to China, Taiwan, and South Korea. There is not much known about its behavior as it lives in depths up to 2600ft near the continental shelf. They are assumed to be very shy, as there is no record of divers having ever seen the Spurdog during explorations.
idk about you but emotionally i'm still stuck at "hey, i do think you're funny, just not intentionally" and "if i had guts, goddamn, would they be punched!" and "hey, i'm sorry, hey, real quick? you're my best friend" and "i've heard you say that to like 85 people" and "i think it is just true"
Orectolobiformes. This order is known as the carpet sharks. Members include nurse sharks, whale sharks, and Wobbegong sharks
Squaliformes. This order of sharks have two (typically spiny) dorsal fins. Memebrs include dogfish, gulper sharks, and the cookie-cutter shark, which gouges round chunks of flesh from larger animals
is it just me or do dogfish kinda look like an animal crossing character
no you're so right. dogfish, especially the spiny dogfish, look like some game/cartoon dev was like "we need a SHARK, pronto!! someone draw us a shark!" and they gave the task to some kawaii chibi artist who only ever draws cutesy things and has no idea how to make something look the least bit sleek or intimidating.
not to project my own human assumptions onto a wild animal but they just have such dog energy in their appearance. they look like they would play fetch, and whine when you have to leave for work, and bark at squirrels/seagulls
