I arrived at university last Saturday!

It's been taking me a while to get used to things and find my feet, but things are looking better right now.

My modules start next week, so you'll have real study content soon

I just discovered the blanket octopus. Would you do a fact on them if not already done? 👀

Sure friend! I am a daily fish fact account only, but I simply couldn't not say something about the magnificent blanket octopus :)

Here is a blanket octopus female! How do I know that? Simple: the males of the species only reach about 2 and a half centimeters, while the females can be as large as two meters long! The species is named after this gorgeous lady's webs that connect to her arms.

"Blanket octopus" refers to four different species actually! And they're all immune to the extremely venomous Portuguese man o' war, young females and males will in fact rip out a dangerous and venomous tentacle from these animals to defend themselves! It is extremely interesting and exciting what kinds of things octopuses are capable of :)

#hey. if you're an account that does facts on other aquatic animals..... hmu #i will reblog the crap out of your blog!#blanket octopus #octopus #sea creatures #biology #zoology #aquatic #marine biology #marine life #marine animals #portuguese man o war #asks #anonymous

Topic of the day: lesbian lizards.

There's a species of lizards that are entirely female (they really said no boys today honey) living in North America and Mexico. So how do they make baby lizards without males?

They reproduce by parthenogenesis (and are one of the few if not the only species of animal to reproduce only by this method). Parthenogenesis is a reproduction form where the female sexual cells develop without the masculine ones (eggs undergo a chromosome doubling after meiosis, developing into lizards without being fertilized), and it can happen in insects, birds, fishes and reptiles.

The desert grassland whiptail lizard (Aspidoscelis uniparens) does this, but! The ovulation is enhanced by female-female courtship and mating (pseudo-copulation) rituals that resemble the behavior other lizards that reproduce sexually.

So they are the absolute only-female lesbian queens.

The reveal of primal malzeno as sunbreak’s final boss ended up postponing the malzeno vid, so UHC will be waiting till the last title update to continue working on it.

Instead we got a seltas vid, and while I didn’t have a part in this one since I’m mostly the phylogenetics and anatomy guy, @krmoaten-blog made art for the video so go give her a follow. And also I prompted an interesting conversation between my fellow poopenshitters about the pincers on seltas queen.

Seltas are obviously meant to be rhinoceros beetles since Capcom modeled the male’s anatomy as closely to Dynastinae as they could with 3DS graphics (and rhinoceros beetles are kinda big in Japan so it was only a matter of time till we got a monster of one), and they even gave him an aedeagus! The insect equivalent of a penis. The mantid-like claws aren’t really indicative of evolutionary relation since raptorial appendages are a pretty easy thing to evolve in arthropods.

The queens are pretty odd though and are almost larviform in anatomy. And while she also matches up with beetle anatomy pretty well, her pincers threw me for a loop since beetles don’t have abdomen pincers. At first I thought they were derived from parts of the vagina but after bugging @revretch about it it seems that there isn’t a part of the vagina that can be modified into pincers. So the theory I came up with and shared is that it’s a modified forked aedeagus.

My theory is that seltas queens don’t face too much pressure to retain normal reproductive systems since they’re making 100% of the decisions when it comes to reproduction, and eventually became intersex like moles but with weird aedeaguses. Eventually they evolved to actually put those aedeaguses to use by giving them joints to hold onto mates during reproduction and it just kinda went from there.

So tldr, there are no female seltas. Only males and hulking cannibalistic “queens”.

As far as my thoughts on them go I think they’re amazing and seltas is definitely the best beginner monster. I also love their designs and seltas queen is a giant arthropod done right, with her massive columnar legs that don’t end in points. Whenever I design giant arthropods I actually reference her.

Follow my poopenshitter friends who have tumblrs! @dappercritter, @lizard-legendarium, Krmoaten, @astralarchilocus, @glavenychus

*BLOG IS ON HIATUS/NOT ACTIVE DUE TO MY STATE OF BEING GETTING WORSE AND HAVING NO SPOONS. THANK YOU.*

-Due to the graphic nature of my blog, please do not interact if you are under 18. There is gore, sexual content, drug mentions, medical pictures, and other things that could be hurtful or triggering. I borderline romanticize disturbing topics too, you need to be in the proper headspace. So, proceed with caution and be 18+. Consent is key.-

💜You can either address me by my username or Zer (someone called me it from another username I use and I love it). If you wish to flirt, I can okay with being called Sir, Master, or Doctor, but no obligation by any means. Also I am a trans masculine nonbinary person that uses they/he/Zer/fae pronouns so keep that in mind.

💜Please know I am aroace as well. I will flirt and engage in kink, usually harder ones, but actual sex turns me off unless we've built a connection, so I fall closest to demisexual on the asexual spectrum. I do not mind the gender of anyone who flirts as it has little to no effect on me, just don't be a dick. I am fully aromantic too, so no conventional romance please! Think of it as more a look, don't touch ;)

💜I enjoy my own fantasies more in my head and through online flirting rather than doing meet ups. I am a switch but I will never likely sub for anyone and I am dom 90% of the time. I am both a sadist and masochist but the sadism tops me over more. I prefer being on top too. I find comfort in the macabre and sex is cannibalism as far as I'm concerned. But, ask nicely and I might negotiate.

💜 I am on the autism spectrum, so I am openly neurodivergent. I suffer from PTSD and C-PTSD as well, so, if I forget conversations, I apologize. I have been in recovery for Bulimia Nervous for around 2 years so I wish to refrain from weight discussion. I am physically disabled with fibromyalgia, benign hyper mobility syndrome, POTS, and a few other disorders. I use canes, braces, medications, and TENS units. I may be low on spoons so if I don't respond, that is likely it, I am not upset or ignoring you. If I'm pissed, I will tell you or just block you.

💜No racism, transphobia, enbyphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, antisemitism, sexism, and honestly any other bigotry or dick behaviors will be tolerated. You will be blocked fast.

💜I am in college to study for biochemistry, zoology, and anatomy/physiology. So, I am seeking my education and holding down a part time job, hence why I may not be active sometimes. I am a science major and that leaked over into me being an utter mad scientist.

💜My biggest special interest is anything animal related, specifically herpetology and entomology. Send me pics of reptiles, amphibians, arachnids, and insects!! I love them. I also gladly will take any ask relating to me, kink, my mad scientist persona, fandoms, etc. I don't bite unless you ask nicely.

💜I am the dad to 4 snakes, 2 turtles, and 2 guinea pigs. I foster animals when I can, but for now there is no room.

💜Parasites are another special interest and I collect them. I collect a lot of taxidermy and wet specimens. Heartworms are my favorite parasite and please tell me how they make you feel all squirmy inside.

💜I dress mostly goth or renfest when I can. I am a faerie, vampire, and mad scientist. I engage in tomfoolery and weird behaviors. May this blog be chaotic neutral and shitposty.

💜My fandoms are: mad father, witches house, misao, our flag means death, good omens, any V.C. Andrews, Stephen King books, IB, Charlie the unicorn, the Chucky franchise, saw, Bojack horseman, Hazbin hotel, Ethel Cain, Nicole Dollanganger, Schaffer The Darklord, Dr. Horribles sing along blog, Gravity falls, Moral Orel, I have no mouth and I must scream, don't hug me I'm scared, Gotham, Hannibal, Scrutinized, and many others! I kin a lot of characters too.

If you wish to support me/my health, my animals, being able to foster and engage in hyperfixations, or just give me kinky shit, here is my wishlist!
