I'm rewatching Finding Dory, and Hank is honestly a miracle of animation
#Finding Dory#n0t seri0us#I had a dream about it last night that was like... a sequel to finding dory#humans had left the earth in ships that looked like the titanic on a big cushion of water#and I guess water had risen and fish were living among the abandoned cities#except the humans were also coming back and were a threat somehow? and the humans were also trying to reintroduce species#and make something like a zoo or nature reserve#it was all so stressful (thanks sertaline)#on a biology note I do enjoy the fact that when he's in water#Hank mainly crawls around instead of swimming#irl when octopuses swim their main heart stops beating so they can't swim for long before they have to stop#also Hank you bullshitter you would have definitely been able to fit in the pipes lmao#the only real 'hard' part of an octopus is the beak and potentially the eyes#so I thibk he would have been able to fit lol#also fun fact an octopuses can asphyxiate in it's own ink if it inks in an enclosed container (e.g. if they're being transported somewhere)#it's one of the reasons why they're so difficult to transport#on top of their amazing escape abilities#it's something I always think about when Hank inks in the kidzone pool lol#also during this rewatch I was like 'octopuses have a venomous bite. hank could potentially bite the kids.' (not recommended)#octopuses have two saliva glands#one is in the buccal mass - the sack that contains the beak & radula#the other is er.... behind it I think? closer to the eyes? If I recall correctly that's the one responsible for the venom#anyway back to the film & a big shout out to Hank because he is one of two octopuses that kickstarted my obsession with the#*them#the other was octodad lol
