My Turn!!

shark drawings!!! 🦈🌊

drawn with a random blue pen i found at school 🙂

apparently they also have good memories???

i have been told that one girl at my school accidentally threw a rock at one of them once and now they will steal the food of anyone sitting near her…….

hiiiii i thought you’d like this photo my friend took of some kookaburras stealing my other friends food :)

this literally happens every second day at my school it’s crazy

HEHEHEHEH

What's funny is that kookaburras are very prone for staying around public spaces just to take food, they are little thieves <3

my dog Ziggy 💖

There’s a “cat checkpoint” post going around, so this is a

Reblog with the last picture of a dog in your camera roll.

wait you’re a ginger

that’s so cool!!

i wish i was ginger but my dads genes took over :(

yeah i’ve got ginger hair :) nobody else in my family does tho

all my friends call me a teenage mutant ginger turtle after finding out u get ginger hair from some genetic mutation

as a ginger i also steal souls to give to my supreme leader ed sheeran :D

Greetings and salutations! You seem very cool/interesting/friendly! (I found your intro post when looking through the marine biology tag (I know nothing about marine biology but find it immensely fascinating)

Tell me about bioluminescence :)

omggg hiiii i literally just made my account today, i didn’t think anyone would actually see it!! u seem rly cool too 😊

i am waaaay too into bioluminescence, mainly marine bioluminescence bc it’s cool 🙃 76% of discovered deep sea creatures use bioluminescence! so basically, the light is produced from a chemical reaction from luciferin and oxygen:

luciferin (C11H8N2O3S2) + oxygen (O) —> light and oxyluciferin (by-product)

and organisms either have an enzyme called luciferase, which catalyzes the reaction, or photoproteins, that allow the reaction to occur. the reaction occurs in the cells of an organism (or cell if it’s only a single-celled organism)

some animals, like firefly squid, have photophores, which are like tiny bioluminescent dots along their body. they are the brightest type of bioluminescence and are sometimes complex enough to be able to detect light levels so the animal can control how bright the light they produce is. they are tiny glands/organs that have the necessary chemicals to produce light.

some animals, like hawaiian bobtail squid, have a symbiotic relationship with bioluminescent bacteria.

like the angler fish has bioluminescent bacteria living in its esca (glowing bulb thing)

and some animals just eat bioluminescent organisms and that makes them glow.

bioluminescence underwater is usually blue bc it travels furthest in water.

some animals use it to lure prey to them, such as dragonfish, who has transparent teeth so it doesn’t reflect light off them and give them away. some animals also use it for defence to confuse predators, like the pandalid shrimp just vomits bioluminescent mucus at predators, and vampire squid will do the same thing but only in a life-or-death situation bc it uses a lot of their energy. it is also used to attract mates in a few species.

bioluminescence is also used for camouflage, so that predators below can’t see the silhouette of prey above it because they match their bioluminescence to the sunlight’s brightness. it’s kinda hard to explain but it’s called counterillumination

the coolest bioluminescent organisms are vampire squid, glass octopuses, pyrosomas, helmet jellyfishes, cockatoo squid, and siphophore colonies

anywayyyy i hope you liked my very very long yap and you learned something!!! and thank you soooo much for following me and sending me a message 😊😊😊😊
