Day 21: Zoroark

by Barbara am Ende

 come enjoy the warmth and coziness of this forest hut

I’m most use to using cold press watercolor paper and had been less interested in trying hot because I heard it dried faster. I have sketchbox which sends different papers each month with the other supplies, so I have a few small pads of hot press so it was finally time to try it. It’s an interesting difference but not a bad one. I just need to explore it even more.

Finally, I’m revealing my entries for this year’s @swimonzine Swim On 8: Offshore! I was pleased to read the notifications about how many participated and donated through purchasing this beautiful zine.

Time for the reveal:

THE BLUNTNOSE SIXGILL SHARK It is a stout shark with six gill slits who (surprise surprise!) has a short blunt nose. This shark is also sluggish, but a very strong swimmer. It is capable of boosting its speed for stalking and catching prey using its powerful tail. Its favourite meals are: fish, rays and squids. Despite its massive size, this species is rather hamless to humans, unless provoked. Unfortunately, not only endangered because it is often bycatch, but also because its popularity as a sport fish has depleted these beautiful creatures in many areas.

I really enjoyed wolf walkers and now it's one of my favorite movies!

I’m very excited to share my submission for this year’s Swim On zine @swimonzine ! Thank you @jeypawlik for running this wonderful zine!

I think basking sharks are absolutely terrifying but also extremely fascinating, so I wanted to showcase the beauty of these creatures as well! 🦈 ✨

So, in a previous tag response on the diver resisting the urge to pet the sixgill shark, I pointed out that we don’t know how a bluntnose sixgill shark, Hexanchus griseus (Bonaterre, 1788), would respond to human touch outside of duress. Well… as of today, that’s no longer the case. Here’s a video from John Sanders’ channel; just uploaded. We can see the shark settled to the floor, as it did in the GIF. It may even be the same shark. She appears unbothered by the touch, and isn’t fighting and isn’t trying to get away. In this video, we have two perspectives of the same event. So, it appears that this specific H. griseus doesn’t mind attention from humans. Reminder that every shark has a different personality, and we need more evidence before we can say that H. griseus is okay with touch and attention like this.

pieces for this years @swimonzine !! :-)

Lots of fun to participate as always, and to help out sharks!!! You guys can check out the latest zine and other previous ones HERE !!

Thylacine space adventure in my bedroom tonight! Sesame took little Fennel and Dill to the ‘moon’

Fennel (she/her, with tag) and Dill (he/him, no tag)

Two little thylacines by Paradise Ark, bought online and arrived in October 2022. Both originally had some oddly-constructed hind legs that seemed half joined together - Dill has been modified to have more ‘normal’ shaped legs. Their facial expressions are naturally so different!
