not technically about the animals themselves so idk if it counts but if possible could you do a post about shark eggs?? i think they look so cool i feel like the people deserve to see them :3
Not to worry friend! Reproduction and eggs of fishes are just as much fish info as information about the fishes themselves. I’ve made a shark egg fact before, but since that was several hundred days ago, I’ll make a new one right now!
Daily fish fact #635
Mermaid’s purse!
Tumblr media
A shark’s egg — and the eggs of other cartilaginous fishes — is often called a mermaid’s purse, the name referencing their extraordinary shape! These eggs often have strange projections on the outside, like long tendrils, spiralling rims and adhesive fibers, which allow the egg to be wedged between or anchored to rocks, crevices, the seafloor or aquatic plants.

This is a strip where what's shown actually happened this time LAST year, but I didn't think to make a comic out of it until THIS year. (And yes, I DID successfully wear the suit to the pool!) Rest assured, that follow-up will make it into the strip for next Summer, for sure.

I’ve been wanting to draw a hair timeline for Fionnlagh for ages and I finally sketched one out! These are just the years when he’s adventuring (nobles in his culture typically debut at 18 and go hunt monsters and also compete in arena-style tournaments and duels). The clothes aren’t really indicative of what he always wears at each age, although he did only reluctantly start wearing clothes practical for adventuring later in his career. He rejoined the nobility when he was 24 and so he gets to wear his silly little outfits again :)

MerMay is right around the corner. I decided to participate in my own way. I'll try to use the prompts but I'll probably be way off. I want to draw and write oneshots, about Undertale Mermaids/ LeviathanTale.
I also want to share ocean/animal facts that I think are good world building for Mermaids/LeviathanTale.
-------------------- SHARKS-----------
1) About 60% of the shark species give birth to live young. This is called viviparity. Mako sharks, bull sharks, lemon sharks, and blue sharks are a few examples of sharks that are born live.
Baby sharks are called pups.
2) Shark eggs are sometimes referred to as mermaid's purses, and occasionally as Devil's purses. The egg usually houses one embryo, but in some species there are multiple embryos per egg case.
Shark species, oviparous (egg-laying) include:
Bamboo sharks.
Wobbegong sharks.
Carpet sharks.
Horn (bullhead) sharks.
Swell sharks.
Many catsharks.
3) When you flip a shark upside down they go into a trance-like state called tonic immobility.
4) A group of sharks can be called a few different terms. School, shiver, or frenzy. In some cases, the term “herd” may also be used. A shiver is typically made up of sharks that are the same species, while a school can include different kinds of sharks.
More research and observation needs to be done, but it appears that there is no hierarchy in the Shiver. Both male and female sharks will make up a Shiver. The younger sharks will tend to be in the center, this appears to provide protection for the young.
"A group of baby sharks is referred to as a “wriggle” or a “nursery”. "
5) Fun facts about The Origin of the Shark names
* Sharks used to be called "Sea Dogs." This was for a couple of reasons. Such as their resemblance to dogs, and hunting.
"The earliest example of a shark-like animal being named in such a manner came when English writer Richard Hakluyt referred to a sea dog as a “sharke” in 1599."
Some of the facts I found on this site.

Daily fish fact #289
Cartilaginous fish!
Tumblr media
The casing that surrounds the eggs of the oviparous species is often called a mermaid's purse, but is more formally known as just an egg capsule or egg casing! They typically only contain one embryo, but there are exceptions; the egg cases of big skates and mottled skates can have up to seven!
