fun Cambrian fact #9

the Cambrian era was a long time ago. At least 5

Do you happen to know any jellyfish that live in lakes in the pnw?

I remember when I was young I went to the mountains to camp in either Washington or Oregon, and there was a lake there with tiny clear jellyfish, that didn't sting when you touch them. They were so adorable, so I figured I'd ask, it's cool if you don't know them though :3 ty!

Hi anon, are you talking about the Craspedacusta sowerbyi? It’s the only fresh water jellyfish native to North America. They seem to be found world wide from what I can find. Hope that answered your question! (Common name, though I’ve never heard them referred to as such, is the peach blossom jellyfish)

(Bonus fact but not about jellyfish: there’s a prehistoric animal called the tullymonstrum that scientists don’t know if it’s vertebrae or an invertebrate because of the fact it has signs of both. Personally I believe that it could be like a “merger” of both; meaning it’s the in between of them)

Kaiju Musings

had a kaiju discussion tonight with friends!

i like the idea of the kaiju being unfathomable entities that the human mind can barely comprehend, call it soft-cosmic horror. always changing always moving, barely any consistent form the mind cant latch on to other than fear

so i present to you my fan goji:

(psssst, i posted what the beam and "charge up" looks like if that piques your interest click here)

i also took the liberty of messing around with the idea of Tullymonstrum ghidorah

Return to tullymonstrum

I call this one "what if salmon just kept getting worse"

[snark-n-snack]

I think Tullymonstrum probably pulled things out of burrows and such with its long beak-arm to eat them. Then it could watch out with its eyestalks for bigger hungry beasties while its face was in the mud digging around for smaller tasty beasties.

@tullymonstrums I'm sorry the 100 what now?????

Look I'll say it. Trotsky was the sexiest of the Bolsheviks. Lenin's a fucking looker too, being real, but Trotsky just really does it for me

[iamthekaijuking]

the tullymonstrum taotie would have the issue of widely spaced eyes on its shoulders given that it's a predator that needs binocular vision

Eyes have wider ranges of vision than you’d think!

Hammerheads have excellent binocular vision and many prey animals with side facing eyes still have a little binocular vision.

Plus many smaller predators have sideways eyes too since they have to worry about getting eaten.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks this when I look at Tullymonstrum
