Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!

Today’s wet beast is: Pipefish

Olive’s wet beast fact: You’re probably thinking that these worm-on-a-string lookin ass creatures look like straightened seahorses. That’s bc they are part of the Syngnathidae family with Seahorses and Sea Dragons. Funky!

Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

In what kind of fish does the male get pregnant and give birth? That's right: it's the pipefish! Just like their more famous seahorse relatives, females lay their eggs into the males' brood pouch, where they are fertilized. Fully developed young hatch about two weeks later, at which point they are fully independent and may even become food for their parents.

“Entelurus aequoreus are a poor food source for seabirds such as the Atlantic puffin, Fratercula arctica.”

Still looks like an omen to build a city though.
