some Shark guys biology musings from the span of the past year or so. Don't ask me what their hands are shaped like I'm basically re-inventing it every time I draw it right now

The gills have closed up forming a buccal pouch filled with blood vessels, now used for thermoregulation rather than gas exchange. They might pant out of their mouth when particularly hot/out of breath, but because sharks will also gape their mouth to communicate stress/aggression they tend to avoid it whenever possible. Their faces don't have a lot of muscles to form detailed expressions; the extent of facial expressions for sharks tend to be seen through the openness of the eyes and mouth.

Here's a rough thing of the evolution of terrestrial sharks:

The bulk of modern terrestrial sharks can be found on the eastern half of the Big Continent (I'm not naming it bc what if SQL names their landmasses officially), where crocodilians have gone extinct. The other lineages of salamander sharks can also be found along the many islands stretching across the ocean off to the southeast of the continent as well. None of them are in traditional cephaling territory but lmao

Crocodile sharks are. Well. They're a group of larger freshwater sharks that frequently occupy a crocodile-like niche. Smaller species can be confused with salamander sharks, but they're much more resistant to desiccation and can wander away from water to look for food and new territory. This is where true endothermy begins cropping up in terrestrial sharks; the largest extant species don't bother with it, but several smaller guys seem to have developed it independently of each other.

The Haye are an iconic megafaunal predator of the so-called Mollusk Era. Lots of mythologies around them I'm sure. It used to be believed that they were the Shark folks' closest living relative, but modern research has found that to be untrue. They're endothermic and can be found even in fairly cold regions, but usually don't stick around for the winter in polar regions.

Mud Hounds are a diverse group of mid-sized, endothermic terrestrial sharks. Pictured is a beloved little digging guy usually known as dorghai. Many species rely on their keen sense of smell and electroreception to track their prey; they get their name from the common behavior of sticking their nose into wet mud to feel for the electric signatures of smaller burrowing prey. Even species that don't make active use of their electroreception often retain the ability. Seems they just haven't gotten around to losing it quite yet, even though electroreception isn't very effective in air. The Shark folk are no exception; some people report being able to "feel" active thunderstorms or faulty electronics. With practice they can actually do fuck all with it, but for most people it's just an occasional vague annoyance.

I didn't draw other examples of the group Shark folk are in, dubbed the walking hounds, because they're the only living member of the group. The reason for the group developing bipedalism isn't known right now. Also, I tend to draw Sharks standing fairly upright, but the most natural standing posture for them is more raptorial. Upright postures are associated with alertness/nervousness, or temporarily trying to take up less space in crowded areas. It becoming a default/preferred posture is seen commonly in "city" sharks used to living in high density areas with smaller species.

Yeah or an anxious city shark. Lol

on my sandray bullshit real quick but ray really acts like someone who can't quite accept/process/believe that someone has feelings for him even if he's starting to see the evidence of it from sand. like he hangs onto his crush on mew in part because mew doesn't like him back. it's another of his self-destructive tendencies, hurts so good, etc. but every insult he slung at sand this ep was also dig on himself, circling back to his paying for love, his insecurity that aside from the money he doesn't have much else to offer. idk suggesting that he would pay sand for sleeping with him in front of everyone and then calling him a whore...like yes he's insulting sand but sand also made it clear his friendship and love can't be bought, this is very much ray's own insecurity, and he's drunkenly putting it on blast. honestly i think sand knows this.

sand hears ray tell mew "in my whole life no one has ever been more loving and caring to me than you" and in the parking lot later sand tells ray "stop thinking about mew and focus on me for once. can't you see that i really care about you?" as if to say, without actually saying, you deserve better than unrequited love. i'm right here. you don't even need to call, i'm saving you. lol. and then ray responds with fury, disbelief, "what are we?"

like...ray has probably been taking all of sand's deflecting about his feelings up until this point (and sand does a lot of that in self-defense) as confirmation that he is unlovable. if sand had responded with "i have feelings for you" instead of "we are nothing" i don't think ray would have gotten into that car drunk. in fact if he was up front about his feelings as soon as he caught them i think ray would have eventually responded in kind. but it's not like this has all been easy for sand, either...they're like. kind of on the same page but utterly convinced they're in different books
