Shark Fact
Epaulette sharks, a small type of reef shark, can "walk" on land during low tides. They do this by their pectoral and pelvic fins evolving to be more like feet so that they can crawl outside of the water from pool to pool during low tide.
They are able to lower their hearts and the rate at which they need to breath to be able to go outside of the water.
Walking on land allows for better hunting as well as to move to more oxygenated pools of water.
"sharks are good and dolphins are evil XD" guys undoing the shark stigma does not mean creating a new one. calling endangered animals evil isn't the Science Own you think it is

hi! i'm davy jones yaoi, also known as mushroomfrog. you may or may not recognize that name from other platforms. don't even worry about it.
call me literally whatever you want, i've got 2,763 aliases as it is. i'm gay, clueless, and passionate about pointless internet drama
i'll talk about pirates of the caribbean, nbc hannibal, dnd, vampires, and whatever else i feel like. if you're not cool with weird bugs/spiders/snakes then you might want to sit this one out because i love freak creatures.
(my tags are mostly self-explanatory but i have a few that aren't)
#critters - anything nature-related, mostly reblogging animals i like
#cool art - other peoples' art
#joy and whimsy - silly or cute things broadly unrelated to any of my interests
#yaoi original - post i wrote myself or otherwise added text to
all fandoms and characters just use the normal tags. i try to tag animals by both their common names and the broad category they fit into (e.g. #corn snake and #snakes)
if you want more info on me, check my strawpage at https://mushroomfrog.straw.page/ and try to ignore the insane amount of gifs i threw on for fun. byee :3
