WHATS UP WOLVDEN IT'S INVERTEBRATE TIME

I hope that you can have the invertebrate pets you've always dreamed of one day snail, especially snails 🐌

Cuttlefish are some of the only animals that are so unbelievably cute that they delight me to the point of laughter just from watching them flutter around

My local aquarium hosted their babies last year. Can you imagine? They were so small.

hell yeah cephalopods are great! i’m rly lucky because i live 2 hours away from the monterey bay aquarium (although i can only afford to go there like once or twice a year) and they have an amazing collection of them

I was enamored with Monterey Bay Aquarium at one point since they apparently did some research on my favorite animal -- the giant siphonophore. Unfortunately I don't live anywhere near it at all

MBARI does a lot of deep sea and open ocean research, and they’ve gotten a lot of footage of the Big Boys. (also EXCELLENT taste in animals i think you and i will get along)

I find it weirdly poetic that they are the most beautiful animal on earth (IMO) yet do not have any eyes to see themselves with.

I appreciate literally anyone who seeks them out, no matter what kind. I used to lie to myself and say that my favorite animal was anything in the genus praya but virtually anything that looks similar and is a similar length can also be considered my favorite

Honestly that's my ultimate dream, to become a marine biologist that specializes in the deep dark recesses of the abyss, seriously I would love to help get knowledge of its denizens more "in the light" so to speak through experiencing their presence myself. I've had enough of the land, the void calls me

Hey guys check this shit out also fun fact about echinoderms (starfish, sea cucumbers, urchins, etc.): they are deuterostomes like us which means as embryos they develop an anus before they develop a mouth. because of this they are considered a sister group to our phylum chordata hahahaha anus buddies also this is a bat star genus patiria

So proud to be anus buddies with that sea star.... Seeing a family resemblance tbh

god i’m so sorry everyone i have to break the rules for a sec and post an animal with bone please look at this frog i caught a few months ago i fell into a pond in order to catch it california red legged frog

millipede i forget her name
