Taxonomy Tournament: Gastropods

Pteropoda. This order, whose name means wing-foot, is made up of free-swimming sea snails and slugs, such as sea angels and sea butterflies

Anaspidea. This order is made up of sea hares, large marine gastropods so-called because their rhinophores resemble the ears of a hare.

Some sea-hare photos I took when I was at a rock-pool during the weekend.

Day 199.

Finally...  a dive day. I headed off to see Justine (my chiropractor) to sort my back out in the morning, then came home did some work before moseying down to Matheson Bay mid arvo. I thought about the marine reserve but there was chop, and to be honest, I was craving a trip out to the gullies.

It did not disappoint. There were some great inverts plus a Gem Doris nudibranch -  Dendrodoris krusensternii (second to last pic), a Speckled Triplefin - Ruanoho whero (in the first photo... good luck spotting it), and a very young Butterfish - Odax pullus (in the weed in the fourth photo).

I also saw quite a few large sponges (Stelletta conulosa) that look like they are damaged by the heatwave this summer. The large one in the photo however, looks in reasonable condition. I’m continuing to monitor the sponges out at Matheson Island for the University, while they try to figure out what’s making them sick.

my attempt at making a fursona

#i never see any mole furries so i thought id try my hand at it ^_^ #i was hungry making this and was thinking of dirt cup pudding so its partly inspired by that and mario grass blocks #i dont draw furries very often so this was a fun learning experience lol. also!! star nose moles are kinda cute!!!! #when i was coming up with a name my mind kept going back to that tiktok of dogs and the tts voice saying stuff like i like mulch #mulch is my favorite food! yippee mulch!! so if youre wondering where i got the name theres the lore for it #i also wanna make a sea otter fursona.. and perhaps a snowshoe hare or other winter animal. oh or a barn owl!! #im trying to free my mind when it comes to making multiple sonas bc im still trying to wrap my head around it #ive always kinda seen myself as my persona but i want to try and be silly with it. actually while i was making this i was a little doubtful #to call it my fursona bc it doesnt look like me but a little voice inside my head was like well. youre not a 5 foot tall talking mole eithe #so you might as well. and i was thinking abt ppl with their dragon wolves with wings and i was like wow.. youre right... i can do what i #want forever. and brother that shit was enlightening it was like my third eye opened when i realized that #my art #myart #my oc #oc #fursona #mulch #furry art #sfw furry #character design #oc ref sheet #reference sheet

Found a large white speckled sea hare at the beach, which had to be moved as it was stuck quite a long way from the sea.
