Discussion Favorite marine animals and why?

[Dreamlike Reality]

This is a totally random and oddly specific thing to ask on a forum like this, but I really want to talk to people about sea creatures . . . It doesn't hurt to just ask, right?
So . . . What are your favorite marine animals, what makes them interesting to you?
I love everything about the ocean in general but my favorites are blacktip sharks and spinners. I see these near where I live, along with whale sharks, great whites, and bottlenose dolphins. They are all some of the most amazing things I have ever seen . . . Spinners specifically because they can jump up out of the water to hunt at speeds of up to 46 miles per hour.

(Also, if you don't really have interest in the ocean . . . I'm willing to hear your about your favorite terrestrial animals, too.)

I love how octopi use coconuts as camouflage. Pretty cool. I also like giant squids, their mono eye is what I imagine the prime creator's to be.

 

[ClownMe]

Seals, no particular reason, I just like how they look.

Yes!! The coconut octopus is so so cool. They are so incredibly intelligent . . .
Thinking of giant squids, its a bit funny they have one big eye and one small eye... Just the big one is the one that collects enough light at such deep levels of the sea, so that means the other side of them must be quite a big blind spot?

Seals, no particular reason, I just like how they look.

Seals are my best friend's favorites too! I told him about clubbing though . . . A cruel thing just to get a pelt. They are so cute though. Elephant seals are also super badass.

 

[FuneralCry]

I like Anglerfish. I just like the way they look.

Yes!!!
A cool thing about them is their "gender roles" I guess you could say, its's the only phrase I can think of. There's probably something better, but the anglerfish you probably think of with the bioluminescent lure and the cool unhinging jaw is the female! The males are like 2cm and swim aimlessly until they collide with a female and fuse into her skin. Usually, the females have a bunch of males fused into them . . . They have a somewhat simlar mating dynamic to wrasses in the way that the female has some influence over what genetics her offspring will have because of the amount of males she has stuck to her. It's really neat!

'Nautilus'​

The nautilus is sooo cool . . . The paper nautiluses were originally thought to use two of their arms as sails, that's where the name comes from! Since the greek word nautílos means sailor (Though paper nautliluses are actually octopuses, the name still applies . . .)

 

[MeltedJello]

I like swordfishes, because swords are cool.



Oh and I like jellyfish, because they look squishy.

 

[OrcWitch]

My favorite animals are orcas.

1. They have dance offs when two pods encounter each other in the wild.

2. One of the few species where they get to know their grandparents.

3. Females stay alive long after menopause. They serve an educational role for younger orcas and have hunting knowledge.

4. Pretty smart.

5. They're just really cute.

 

[charlottewilts]

I think jellyfish are great! I wish I could just float along without a care in the world and sting whoever tries to stop me. And they're easy to draw, too! Love, Charlotte

 

[Pluto]

My niece recommends the axolotl.

What is an axolotl? Everything you need to know about this charismatic amphibian

Immature, water-loving and with an incredible ability to regenerate, these endangered creatures are of great interest to science.

[4eyebiped]

Glaucus Atlanticus are unique looking creatures. Like some futuristic space craft about to annihilate Earth.



Blobfish looks about as miserable as me. Though they probably have a better chance of attracting women than me...



Leafy Seadragons could be an interesting creature to ride into a fabled battle on.



Mantis Shrimps are vibrant in color but you do not want to get nut punched by one of these things.

[Dreamlike Reality]

GOSH YES I love jellyfish and orcas also . . . Jellyfish are so chill <3 And about blobfish!! They actually look quite normal in the water, when you take them out they only get blobby like that.

I love hearing about everyone's favorite animals . . .
About the axolotl, my 6th grade spanish teacher had one until someone poured chemicals in his tank . . . His name was Pablo. Such a silly little guy

 

[TheEndTimes]

Narwhals, the unicorns of the sea!

https://sanctioned-suicide.net/attachments/captyyyyyure-1-png.79918/

I think that's a land mammal

Narwhals are fantastic... Their horn is actually a canine tooth that sticks out!

Also . . . I'd categorize the other one as a semi-aquatic animal ><

Can they be mythical creatures?

No, you can't post a pic of a siren with bare boobs.

 

[Shadowplay]

I guess I'll just whack it to your dick pics again.

 

[WhatDoesTheFoxSay?]

The poor blobfish. Funny how a decompression-damaged travesty of a deep-sea dweller became the laughing stock of the world.



Here's a blob sculpin (Psychrolutes sp.) alive and kick—I mean, swimming in its natural habitat. Blobfish Lives Matter!

"Ugly? How dare you! Bet you wouldn't be doing so well down here, either."

Seals, no particular reason, I just like how they look.

Boop!


@hotelbeneathground Can you guess what this is?

Something highly edible

 

[narval]

octopuses. they are smart, they have blue blood, they do not have fish shape, legends about giant octopuses exists, and of course, japanese weird stuff related with tentacles and ladies.





also, octopuses are tasty

 

[WhatDoesTheFoxSay?]

Something highly edible

100% edible ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I love your thread.
When we die sum of us as spirits go to a regeneration bureau of sorts where we learn to construct genomes through ectoplasm & stem cell fabrication. I remember struggling with tubers that became lotus flowers...
When I first had contact with my guides, the usual sort came thru :: Egyptians, Tibetan, American Indians. As I gained in experience... there were atlanteans, annunaki, incas and a host of other non-human (non 'grey' alien beings...) as i became braver, and more adept at communication, so did they. Some where the size of horses, but had pterodactyl wings like bats... they barely fitted into my lounge they were so huge and awesome. They used to set the dogs off something mental!
These undersea creatures are reminiscent of the creatures on Jupiter, (where the octagon floating pyramids house incredible civilizations...)...the spiritual entities that when we die we will recognize (and not be afraid) as spirit guides, because we had a touchstone from the sea...
We are truly part of an incredible existence, just cos you can't see it doesn't mean it can't exist, or serves no purpose..!!
Maybe never forget to marvel like a kid at the miniscule immensity of the everything.

That video is fascinating . . . Bioluminescence is such a cool thing, the luciferase molecules and all . . . And the comb jelly, so pretty !!! I wish I actually knew more about them.

Absolutely!!!! It'd be really cool to see a dumbo octopus, as are as they are in the vastness of the ocean . . . All deep sea creatures are so mesmerizing, and the way they can withstand all that pressure is so impressive to me . . .

 

[Deleted member 32964]

I'd like to be a whale (J/K). I wouldn't like to communicate with my family half-way around the globe through whale ESP and beach myself. I have enough of that, already. I have nightmares about whales, frequently.

Maybe a seahorse. So I can be truly independent, non-gendered and have my own babies with myself!
