The firmer you grasp the fish, the more complete your understanding of sea life will become. Underwater labcoat completely necessary for this step, unlike breathing apparatuses like a snorkel or a regulator. Real marine biologists grow gills upon getting their diploma.

Hi I'm Siscar and I'm broke again after a recent grocery run and need money to buy more groceries in the future
If you can't donate please reblog
My PayPal contains my dead name and I apologize ahead of time
Thank you
Sorry to reblog this again but I'm trying to save money to move out
My current living conditions are abysmal
The house is literally falling apart around me, there is no hot water and barely any water pressure
There's mold growing on the walls and a hole in the ceiling outside my bedroom that goes straight through the roof
Please get me out of here
I need to emphasize the fact that the mold has eaten all the way through their roof.
PLEASE help us get Si outta here.

I thought it would delight you to know that ants do have a sort of funeral mound for their dead
iguanamouth answered:
yes there is a name for this! necrophoresis is a process with social insects where the bodies are taken to a specific location on the outside of ( or within ) the nest - ants tend to keep them all in the same place, and the way an ant is signaled to be “dead” by its other members is through the release of a chemical called oliec acid
theres even been a few experiments where live ants were coated in the same chemical and other ants treated the live ants….exactly as though they were dead and tried dragging them into the pile
That's a crinoid! Also called sealily or hairstar (at least in german) . They are like an evolutionary step between starfish and sea urchin. There are so many different types of these! It's so cool!
Oooh
to look upon this, and know it is Animal. That it is nearer to us, in spite of everything, than a mushroom, or a plant.
