I've learnt a lot from my comparative vertebrate anatomy class but the number one thing I learnt is that bony fish are deeply unsettling
#shut up me#NOTHING should be able to move its face around that much#You're telling me when a bony fish opens its mouth it fucking rotates its skull up to increase the volume of its mouth#among other bones in its face moving to expand its mouth even wider#And also! The fact that the opercular chamber is just a giant hole in their faces#like I understand I also have several holes in my face but#I don't know man the gills are just something else entirely... it freaks me out#but also fascinates me yknow#its been a while since I posted about school. thats because i enjoyed it a lot this term <3
