Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate

the MORAY EEL:

8/10 Chunk

10/10 Gunk

8/10 Funk

It’s been a long time coming, and anyone who’s been following this blog for any amount of time is well aware of my obsession with these funny wiggly boys.

Moray eels. My beloveds. Look at that girth, high chunk. The slime layer that makes it so that I cannot hug them without a proper wetsuit or fabric layer, absolute gunk. The big squishable cheeks, the weird sticky-out-y tube nostrils, the two mouths, incredibly funky.

Overall: 10/10

Everyone has a selfish dream of what they would do if they won the lottery. Mine is simple: buy a giant saltwater tank and fill it with 3 giant moray eels. (Preferably of different colors/patterns so I can tell them apart)

Everyone also has a dream of channeling their inner Disney Princess with a wild animal: I want to hug a moray eel.

It was my birthday on the 18th, so as a gift to myself, I rate my beloveds.

Enjoy a poorly drawn eel dragon, he just a silly guy

Pride in a Jar # 5 - ace 

Asexu-eel - this more eel-like fantasy dragon is themed to the asexual flag. Yes, this is a freakier looking dragon than the others, but you shouldn’t judge a book by its color and this dragon isn’t trying to be attractive. 

My original art made in Procreate. Please credit if you re-use. 

[Image description: a digital drawing of a long, eel-like fantasy creature hanging out in a large fishbowl full of water on a grey shelf. The creature has a long, snake-like body covered in white patchy scales and nine purple fins go across the top of the creature’s body from head to near the tail, which has a two-pronged tail fin on either side. The creature has large round eyes and a mouth open slightly to reveal sharp white teeth. There’s a small beard on the head, similar to the stylized depiction of some Eastern dragons. The entire scene of the drawing is dark, with the background behind pitch black, and the only light is the purplish-white glow of the creature itself which reflects off the glass of the fishbowl and highlights subtle patterns in the water. The drawing is themed to the white, grey, black, and purple of the asexual pride flag, though the bright purple of the glowing effects turns somewhat pink. End image description.]

[arcxnumvitae]

I love how the vibe I'm getting from the dash the past day or so is basically

[chunkfunkgunk-offishal]

sorry if you've answered this before, but what is the chunkiest, funkiest, and gunkiest animal you've ever rated?

Hmm… of the creatures so far, I think the chunkiest funkiest and gunkiest creature I have rated (in my opinion) is probably the moray eel.

I’m super biased though, since moray eels are actually how I came up with this whole blog! I used to call them my “chunky funky gunky boys”, which eventually spiraled off into a whole rating system.

Also I like moray eels.

A lot.

Loboto splatoon au design I made real quick for fun

[west-tokyo-incidents]

There are like at least three furry au members of the Facility and they fucking always catch greenhorns off guard. Hell, they'll catch Songbird off guard if she hasn't seen one in a long enough time

i feel you with the surgery thing, my dog polly, (apollo), was attacked last december and we've just had to have two surgeries to prevent him from loosing the leg, its not exactly the same but i know the feeling of 'i wish this wasnt what was best for u, but ill do what i need to so u can heal', sometimes its surgery, sometimes it isnt. I wish you all the best for wee clover, hes adorable <3 - connor

oh man, I’m so so sorry about your dog getting attacked, that’s awful and must have been so scary. I hope he’s feeling better and he’s healing well. tell him I said he’s a good dog and give him pats for me ❤️

but yes, exactly. I’m not sure what’s going to be best for Clover yet but we’ll see. I think that if I do need to get surgery I might do it at the same time I get them fixed so that they don’t have to go under twice, unless the vet thinks that would be too hard on Clover to handle all at once.

i'm designing a character based on mythical salamanders and want to spice up their look a little bit, may we get some newts and salamanders with fun appearances or unique adaptation? the first ones to come to mind are things like sirens, olms, mudpuppies, ribbed newts, and giant salamanders, but i'd love to learn about some more funky amphibians!

Might I suggest some of the following salamanders...

Lesser Siren (Siren intermedia), family Sirenidae, found in freshwater habitats in the SE United States, lower midwest, and NW Mexico

This eel-like aquatic salamander retains its gills. They only have 2 tiny front limbs.

They grow to a length of up to 69 cm (27 in).

Three-toed Amphiuma (Amphiuma tridactylum), family Amphiumidae, found in the SE United States

Amphiumas are large eel-like aquatic salamanders. The three-toed can grow up to 41 inches long. It has 4 tiny legs with 3 toes on each limb.

Red-tailed Knobby Newt aka Kweichow Crocodile Newt (Tylototriton kweichowensis), family Salamandridae, endemic to NE Yunnan, China

Poisonous.

Some species within this genus are capable of poking the tips of their ribs through the orange bumps on the back, which secrete poison. The ribs can effectively become venomous spines that can puncture the potential predator’s skin!

Jackson’s Climbing Salamander (Bolitoglossa jacksoni), family Plethodontidae, endemic to Guatemala

CRITICALLY ENDANGERED.

This species had not been seen since 1975, but was refound in 2017.

Arboreal Salamander (Aneides lugubris), family Plethodontidae, Pinnacles National Park, California, USA

Arboreal, these salamanders have prehensile tails, and will use their limbs to glide or “parachute” from trees, if they need to.

They can deliver a nasty bite.
