Today's picture is that of a grey whale! Grey whales are a part of the order of Baleen whales whoch have TWO blowholes for twice the fun. Their purpose is not to expel water, but to breathe, as whales, being mammals, breathe air and not through water. They're similar to nostrils.

They can also be up to 50 feet long and weigh 45 tonnes. Very big cuties. But this also makes them quite scary, and why they were nicknamed the devil fish, as they fought back when hunted, with special ferocity being show by those protecting their young. Unfortunately, not vicious enough because they're now extinct in the Mediterranean and north atlantic.

Like other species of whales, they're very smart and curious. They like to get close to humans and even let the humans touch them.

Grey whales love to scoop up and eat shellfish, so they hunt around the coast, letting these human and whale interactions occur. They also travel up to 19000km in a year!

Yay whales BOO WHALING

Many people know of the Portuguese man o' war. But did you know that it is not a jellyfish? Its not even one single animal (debatable)! Its a siphonophore and it is a colony of tiny specialized zooids that form the whole thing. Theres even one siphonophore species that can grow longer than a blue whale.

Man o' wars reproduce both sexuall and asexually. Not at different times, but to form one whole man o' war. They spread eggs and sperm in the water and when they meet one larvae will be birthed and from that larvae, it will bud asexually to create more zooids to complete itself.

Also they can be found in groups as large as 1,000! Sounds scary.

Yay, funny little slender boi time. The electric eel is actually more closely related to catfish than eels. There are even electric catfish. Electric eels can also output 800v. Does anybody else eant to try licking one like a battery? It has three special organs for creating these electric charges that take up 80% of its body.

They are also obligate air breathers! They must surface to breathe roughly every 10 minutes. They mainly live in poorly oxygenated waters, so this makes sense.

Thats all for these cuties see you with another fish fact soon~

This little iridescent worm boi is believed to be named after the case where Mrs. Bobbitt chopped off her husbands penis. The reasoning for this is that the bobbit worm is an ambush predator with very sharp pincers that have the ability to cut a fish in half if they get too close. Usually found in coral reefs in the Atlantic. They can even grow up to 3meters long. It is not stroctly a carnivor though, as it will eat algae and decomposing matter that floats into its trap.
