The ancient mariner
A tri-spine horseshoe crab moves slowly over the mud. Its golden protective carapace hides 12 appendages. Above the horseshoe crab, a trio of juvenile golden trevallies are poised to dart down for edible morsels ploughed up by its passage.Portfolio Story: Laurent Ballesta went looking for the crabs in the protected waters of Pangatalan Island in the Philippines. Marine biologist and photographer Laurent Ballesta has dedicated his life to exploring the oceans and revealing their wonder through art. He has led a series of expeditions, all involving scientific mysteries and diving challenges, resulting in unprecedented images. The tri-spine horseshoe crab has survived for more than 100m years but faces habitat destruction and overfishing for food and for its blood, used in the development of vaccines. But, in the protected waters off Pangatalan Island, there is hope for its survival.
by Laurent Ballesta, France.

I would like to offer this resource for therians, an extensive list of all of Sir David Attenborough’s nature documentaries that are available on soap2day, and a full list of what species* they each (notably, prominently) feature the natural behaviors of, separated by episode, and omitting species that were only shown dead, juvenile or being predated on. This took me a while (I have been working on it since Prehistoric Planet’s release) because I did in fact have to watch every single series in full in order to list all the species and the episodes are around 50 minutes long, but enjoy.
Long post ahead:
Most of these shows have closed captioning, which is why I’ve picked soap2day. Planet Earth is the only one that doesn’t. I did not include Dynasties and Dynasties II because each episode only features one species.
Thank you to Birch (@ambiguousmutt​) for his help (he watched about half of the episodes) so I didn’t have to do it individually. Credit goes to him as well.
*Sometimes Attenborough doesn’t say the specific species and I was too busy trying to get through the episodes to identify it. In those cases I just put the most specific name I could.

AQUARIUM TIME!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My christmas present was a trip to the aquarium, and yesterday we finally got to go! :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(See also: "utter contentment" and "I got so excited boggling at the fire gobies that I forgot I had the camera facing the wrong way")
Highlights included getting to talk to the nice person taking care of the cownose rays. I learned the tiny baby shark I saw when I went for my birthday in 2022 is a zebra shark named Marty, and he wasn't there this time because he's grown up enough to live in an adjacent exhibit instead. :D
Tumblr media
❤️ YAY MARTY ❤️
We also got to see how a bunch of tiny golden trevallies (I thiiink that's what they were called? They were another temporary group housed there.) had completely bonded with one of the guitarfish and kept following it around, it was so cute. (Unfortunately they were going too fast for me to get a good picture. x_x)
Another Highlight included Luka doing a nature documentary:

What an awesome, exhausting day. <3 Thank you so much @vastderp for fundage and transportation and @rorleuaisen for dog sittings. <3

altho those fish look like tuna, they are likely actually golden trevally! the ones at the aquarium i work at are all (unofficially) named Trev. we call them "The Trevs"
