man this sucks (<- likes a niche character that hardly has any fan content)

[ph-cutie]

evrart has had the same voice actor from the start. however, his vocal performance between releases has been changed drastically. so i finally got two examples side by side- him saying the same lines, in original and in final cut. personally im so accustomed to squawky evrart that the old one seems quite offputting haha

teacher getou au...... wauh

Have there been times the Turner parents have suspected something but shrugged it off?

They have never suspected Timmy Turner of anything! Despite often expressing regret or disappointment, they still very much love their son! And all the benefits he brings them!!

The Turners are a well established family in the neighborhood. It wouldn't bode them well to go around casting doubt against their own son. It'd affect their reputation terribly!

silly stuff i drew while reading Feel No Evil by @payasita , in which the Lamb does not know how to propose, Narinder does not know how to be alive, and neither of them knows what an obligate carnivore is

bonus? lmao

All of the Adelta scans from Vol. 113 of Cool-B!

The bottom Ooe chart is how much a character would help in a situation (specifically this one related to editing the magazine, but it says it can be generally applied to other hypothetical situations): the X axis is "Competent (left) Incompetent (right)" and the Y axis is "Helps (top) to Doesn't Help (bottom)"

Thinking about the dream I had where I listened to the theme for Sonic x Shadow Generations, and it was a new song by Crush 40 called Dark Matter. I'm manifesting it. I want this dream to come true so badly

Round 3 - Chondrichthyes - Lamniformes

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

The Lamniformes are an order of sharks commonly known as “Mackerel Sharks.” They include the families Alopiidae (“thresher sharks”), Cetorhinidae (Basking Shark), Lamnidae (“white sharks”), Megachasmidae (Megamouth Shark), Mitsukurinidae (Goblin Shark), Odontaspididae (“sand tiger sharks”), and Pseudocarchariidae (Crocodile Shark).

Lamniformes are distinguished by possessing two dorsal fins, an anal fin, five gill slits, eyes without nictitating membranes, and a mouth extending behind the eyes. Lamnidae and Alopiidae are also distinguished for maintaining a higher body temperature than the surrounding waters: ie they are “warm-blooded”. Members of this order fill a diverse array of niches, from the apex predator Great White Shark (image 1), to the giant filter-feeder Basking Shark (image 2), to the deep sea ambush predator Goblin Shark (image 4).

Lamniformes are ovoviviparous, which means eggs develop and hatch in the uterus and continue to develop until the mother gives live birth to several young. Litters are usually small, consisting of 1-18 pups, depending on species. The unborn sharks participate in oophagy, in which they feed on ova: nutritious eggs produced by the mother specifically to feed the embryonic sharks before they are born. However, Odontaspididae will instead produce just two embryos, with the stronger embryo eating the other. After they are born, growth can be slow. For example, Sand Tiger Shark males reach sexual maturity at an age of 5 - 7 years and females reach maturity at about 7 - 10 years of age. Male Thresher Sharks reach sexual maturity between 7 and 13 years of age and females between 8 and 14 years. Male Great White Sharks take 26 years to reach sexual maturity, while the females take 33 years!

The Lamniformes arose in the Early Cretaceous. They reached their highest diversity during the Late Cretaceous, but severely declined during the K-Pg extinction. This is a somewhat diverse order, though many of its families only contain one remaining living species as the last of their kinds. Today, only 15 species of Lamniform remain.

Propaganda under the cut:

Great White Sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) are one of the longest lived Chondrichthyans, living up to 70 years or more! They are also one of the largest predatory sharks, with the largest preserved female specimen measuring 5.83 m (19.1 ft) long, though average females measure 4.6 to 4.9 m (15 to 16 ft) long and males 3.4 to 4.0 m (11 to 13 ft).

The Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus) and the Megamouth Shark (Megachasma pelagios) are two of the three living plankton-eating sharks. The Basking Shark is also the second largest shark species. They are slow-moving, gentle giants which migrate thousands of kilometers to seek the richest patches of zooplankton. Meanwhile, the Megamouth is much less active, instead slowly migrating vertically, spending the day deep beneath the sea and the night closer to the surface, tracking the movement of plankton in the water column.

The Shortfin Mako Shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) is the fastest known shark species, able to reach speeds of 74 km/h (46 mph) in bursts.

Salmon Sharks (Lamna ditropis) look like chibi-fied Great Whites. They often hunt in packs, sometimes of up to 30 to 40 individuals, to take down schools of fish such as, you guessed it, salmon.

“Globsters” are organic masses of flesh which have rotted in such a way to be unrecognizable, at least to the untrained eye. When they die, Basking Sharks tend to decompose in a way that they lose most of their lower jaw, dorsal, and caudal fins first, making them often resemble the extinct plesiosaurs! This was the case of the Zuiyo-maru Carcass, a photo of a very plesiosaur-looking globster which was passed around on the early internet as evidence that the prehistoric creatures were still living in the ocean.

The Porbeagle (Lamna nasus) has been observed engaging in play behavior: pushing floating objects around, repeatedly wrapping and unwrapping themselves in kelp, chasing each other, and reacting with curiosity to novel objects such as anglers’ balloon floats.

The deep-sea Goblin Shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) is often depicted with its highly protrusible jaws hanging out, but these jaws are usually not protruding. When the shark is pulled up from the water, dead, the muscles that typically hold the jaws in place relax and allow the shark’s jaws to protract. For years, the only images we had of this shark were dead specimens with protruding jaws. With modern technology like ROVs, we can now observe these sharks alive in their own environment, with their jaws locked firmly in place (image 4). As slow-moving ambush predators, Goblin Sharks snatch up prey by rapidly extending their jaws without needing to move their bodies much. Their long snouts are covered with ampullae of Lorenzini that enable them to sense minute electric fields produced by nearby prey.

Crocodile Sharks (Pseudocarcharias kamoharai) were responsible for damaging deep sea fiberoptic cables when the technology was first deployed in 1985. They tried to help and now look at us. We have anxiety.

The extinct, Late Cretaceous Aquilolamna milarcae, commonly called the “Eagle Shark” has been tentatively assigned to the Lamniformes. This unique shark’s winglike pectoral fins were so long that the shark was overall wider than it was long, akin to a manta ray.

Undoubtedly the most famous extinct Lamniform is Otodus megalodon, which lived from the Early Miocene to the Early Pliocene and was one of the largest predatory sharks to have ever lived.

Thresher Sharks are popular big-game sport fish, and are hunted commercially for their meat, livers (for shark liver oil), skin (for shagreen) and fins (for use in delicacies such as shark-fin soup). All three species are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN endangered species list. Basking Sharks have long been a commercially important fish as a source of food, shark fin, animal feed, and shark liver oil. They are endangered. Mako fishing is a prominent sport fishing activity around the world. As one of the fastest species in the ocean, they offer acrobatic flips, fast runs, and strong fights, which all greatly entertain anglers. They are an endangered species. Sand Tiger Sharks are a highly prized food item in the western northern Pacific, Ghana, India, Pakistan, and Japan, and they are fished for their hide, fins, and liver oil (used in cosmetic products such as lipstick) off North America. They are also a popular sport fish in South Africa and some other countries. They are critically endangered. How are people getting away with killing and selling parts of endangered species? Because these endangered species are “just fish”, and unfortunately, controls on fishing are not exactly sufficient. The best way to stop this overexploitation is to stop the high demand for it.
