Annelida is the only one of my Palmettos who got the forehead patch like their mom, Best Donut.
Here's Best Donut on her 'gotcha day' for comparison:

I think this is the first time I've made furry ocs that are fully mine and not a design for an existing character. I will make more but for now, have a caecilian libarian (unnamed rn, he/him) and his bobbit worm college medical student friend (she/her her name is mosiac also)

Phylum Round 3
Tumblr media
Annelida: Segmented Worms. This group includes earthworms, leeches, and many classes under the umbrella of “polychaete”. This diverse phylum encompasses deposit feeders (eating dirt), detritivores, scavengers, deadly ambush predators, filter feeders, parasites, herbivores, and more. They are broadly defined by their repeating body segments and parapodia, which are nubby appendages used for both movement and breathing. Some have curved jaws for catching prey or scraping detritus off of rocks, while others have wide, elaborate, brightly colored feather-like fans for filter feeding. While able to crawl freely, a majority of marine Annelids spend most of their time in self-built tubes or burrows. Among their many important functions, they play a key role in mixing soil/sediment, breaking down decaying organic matter, and providing a key food source to countless other animals.
Cnidaria: Jellyfish, anemones, corals, box jellies, and hydroids. They have a gelatinous body with radial symmetry, a decentralized nervous system, and tentacles surrounding a simple mouth. The defining feature of this phylum are their cnidocytes, or stinging cells. There are two different body plans of the Cnidaria; an immobile “polyp” attached to a surface, or a free-living “medusa” which can swim or drift in the water column. Many polyp Cnidarians, such as corals, live in colonies. Some corals build reefs which serve as habitat for other animals. Free-living medusa Cnidarians must return to the seafloor in a polyp-like stage as a part of their life cycle.

Annelida is one of my 2023 holdbacks. I love that her terminal scale on her tail is one of her Palmetto spots!

The rain brings friends 🪱🌧️
Tumblr media
I moved as many off the pavement as I could:)
Watch your step! If you can’t move them, at least don’t smoosh them!
Moving them to a grass or dirt patch is a nice thing to do:)
When worms are on pavement they can dry out or get smooshed ☹️
They come out and move around when it’s wet because it’s easier for them to stay moisturized 🪱
Safe travels, worms! 🌧️

Cycliophora: An incredibly specialized phylum, the Cycliophorans consist of a single genus. These animals live exclusively on the mouthparts of lobsters. Yes, all Cycliophorans. This is considered a commensal relationship, as the lobster is not harmed by the Cycliophorans' presence. This phylum has an interesting reproductive strategy involving cloned dwarf versions of the male, embryos that drain all nutrients from the mother, and larvae that must be strong swimmers to hopefully re-colonize the host lobster's new exoskeleton whenever it molts.

As a social species, the way humans interact with each other are vast. However, they can rarely hold a candle to some of the bizarre ways creature of the deep ocean interact with their mates.
This is the zombie worm (Osedax) also known as the boneworm or snot worm. This odd creature sustains itself by making use of an often untapped source of nutrients - bones! This polychaete worm secretes an acid from their skin to break down the fat within fallen whale skeletons in order to feed symbiotic bacteria within their bodies.
What makes this animal even more interesting is the extreme form of polygamy they engage in. For years after their discovery human scientists were perplexed by the fact that all collected zombie worm specimens were female, eventually it was discovered that the microscopic males were living within the tissues of the 2-7cm females. Females often housed multiple mates, up to 111 'tenants' have been recorded within one female!
