SEA WHISPERER

Light fury subspecies

Sea Whisperers are a dragon species that can be found in the Hidden World, and tropical places, like islands or beaches with palm trees.

These dragons like heat, and they like to sunbathe during the day, either by bathing in hot sand or sleeping on rocks for hours.

Sea Whisperers are slightly smaller than a regular night fury, and they're more aerodynamic, which helps them soar gracefully trough the air and helps them swim faster.

Reason why they're called Sea Whisperers is because even if these dragons are not fully aquatic, they can stay underwater more than an average dragon can.

Colors for these dragons go from white, to light grey, grey blue and grey purple colors mostly, but they can have other colors that can help them camoflage, like dark grey, or stripped blue. They can even have colors of some of the salt water fish or even tropical parrots.

- Food:

These dragons mostly eat sea food. Which would be various type of crabs and fish. Due to their swiftness and smooth body they can easily catch underwater creatures.

-Behaviour:

Sea Whisperers are curious and social creatures, they will mostly coward and run away, but if their offspring is in danger they wont hesitate to fight. They all mostly live in packs together, which can form in pretty large groups. When they're underwater they use their wings and tail to swim. As for when males are looking for a mate, they use their crowns to try to impress females. The bigger their crown is, the more chance they have of getting a mate. The crown can also be used for scaring off enemies

There- I have finally finished this. Not gonna lie i am very proud of them, and i will probably make some characters of these.

For now, i'm planning of making a few OTAs of these, like a starter pack idk- or even make free ref sheet bases so people can only color them.

I'm really curious what do you guys think of these-

Clownfish.

Look at him

Totally looks like a mouth you want to stick your finger in right? RIIGHT?

The Snowflake Moray Eel at work is such a piggy and super tame.

These little puffs wanted to take a photo together

I have no idea what this fish is. However, what I do know is that this is too adorable not to share a little round puff ball fish inside a barnacle peaking out.

Hahahahha! Finally I have caught the elusive mantis shrimp on Camera!

This is at work. I’ve tried every single day since he arrived to get either a good picture or video. This guy is actually already sold. These are wonderful creatures if you don’t mind devoting a tank to just one.

Behold the Pinnatus Batfish [Platax pinnatus]

The new fish that I am in fucking love with, because I’m a hopeless romantic that will sadly never probably have the money/time to keep an amazing fish like this. It’s origin lies in the converging waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans. They are voracious omnivores that will grow to an astonishing 18 inches (46 centimeters), while slowly losing their flashy markings as they near adult hood. Someone please buy me a small school and the 150+ gallon salt water tank they require. I waannnt.

Is this The Shape of Water?

Ultra-Close Orbits of Saturn = Ultra-Cool Science

On Sept. 15, 2017, our Cassini spacecraft ended its epic exploration of Saturn with a planned dive into the planet’s atmosphere–sending back new science to the very last second. The spacecraft is gone, but the science continues!

New research emerging from the final orbits represents a huge leap forward in our understanding of the Saturn system – especially the mysterious, never-before-explored region between the planet and its rings. Some preconceived ideas are turning out to be wrong while new questions are being raised. How did they form? What holds them in place? What are they made of?

Six teams of researchers are publishing their work Oct. 5 in the journal Science, based on findings from Cassini’s Grand Finale. That’s when, as the spacecraft was running out of fuel, the mission team steered Cassini spectacularly close to Saturn in 22 orbits before deliberately vaporizing it in a final plunge into the atmosphere in September 2017.

Knowing Cassini’s days were numbered, its mission team went for gold. The spacecraft flew where it was never designed to fly. For the first time, it probed Saturn’s magnetized environment, flew through icy, rocky ring particles and sniffed the atmosphere in the 1,200-mile-wide (2,000-kilometer-wide) gap between the rings and the cloud tops. Not only did the engineering push the spacecraft to its limits, the new findings illustrate how powerful and agile the instruments were.

Many more Grand Finale science results are to come, but today’s highlights include:

Complex organic compounds embedded in water nanograins rain down from Saturn’s rings into its upper atmosphere. Scientists saw water and silicates, but they were surprised to see also methane, ammonia, carbon monoxide, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The composition of organics is different from that found on moon Enceladus – and also different from those on moon Titan, meaning there are at least three distinct reservoirs of organic molecules in the Saturn system.

For the first time, Cassini saw up close how rings interact with the planet and observed inner-ring particles and gases falling directly into the atmosphere. Some particles take on electric charges and spiral along magnetic-field lines, falling into Saturn at higher latitudes – a phenomenon known as “ring rain.” But scientists were surprised to see that others are dragged quickly into Saturn at the equator. And it’s all falling out of the rings faster than scientists thought – as much as 10,000 kg of material per second.

Scientists were surprised to see what the material looks like in the gap between the rings and Saturn’s atmosphere. They knew that the particles throughout the rings ranged from large to small. They thought material in the gap would look the same. But the sampling showed mostly tiny, nanograin- and micron-sized particles, like smoke, telling us that some yet-unknown process is grinding up particles. What could it be? Future research into the final bits of data sent by Cassini may hold the answer.

Saturn and its rings are even more interconnected than scientists thought. Cassini revealed a previously unknown electric current system that connects the rings to the top of Saturn’s atmosphere.

Scientists discovered a new radiation belt around Saturn, close to the planet and composed of energetic particles. They found that while the belt actually intersects with the innermost ring, the ring is so tenuous that it doesn’t block the belt from forming.

Unlike every other planet with a magnetic field in our Solar System, Saturn’s magnetic field is almost completely aligned with its spin axis. Think of the planet and the magnetic field as completely separate things that are both spinning. Both have the same center point, but they each have their own axis about which they spin. But for Saturn the two axes are essentially the same – no other planet does that, and we did not think it was even possible for this to happen. This new data shows a magnetic-field tilt of less than 0.0095 degrees. (Earth’s magnetic field is tilted 11 degrees from its spin axis.) According to everything scientists know about how planetary magnetic fields are generated, Saturn should not have one. It’s a mystery physicists will be working to solve.

Cassini flew above Saturn’s magnetic poles, directly sampling regions where radio emissions are generated. The findings more than doubled the number of reported crossings of radio sources from the planet, one of the few non-terrestrial locations where scientists have been able to study a mechanism believed to operate throughout the universe. How are these signals generated? That’s still a mystery researchers are looking to uncover.

For the Cassini mission, the science rolling out from Grand Finale orbits confirms that the calculated risk of diving into the gap – skimming the upper atmosphere and skirting the edge of the inner rings – was worthwhile.

Almost everything going on in that region turned out to be a surprise, which was the importance of going there, to explore a place we’d never been before. And the expedition really paid off!

Analysis of Cassini data from the spacecraft’s instruments will be ongoing for years to come, helping to paint a clearer picture of Saturn.

😱😱😱 today’s video has to be one of my favs!! When i was younger i really wanted to be a mermaid despite the fact that lived by mountains and there not a single nature made lake to become one 🥺 also i got eggs-ze-ma (eczema) and saw how salt water annihilated my dry/sensitive skin

Eczema gang bro!!

Figured I’d give you guys a peek at Noodles’s set up! 20 gal tank for the moment, Noodles is much too small for anything larger. The green container you see in the middle is a humidity box I built for them to use during shedding! It’s got moss inside that I dampen as needed. The big lamp to the right is a ceramic heater, it stays on all the time. The only thing it needs now is a background picture to complete the natural/jungle aesthetic~

Chet Reneson’s Lift Off. One of my favorite water color artists and one of my favorite art works by Chet Reneson. A signed and numbered copy hangs on my wall of this very scene. I lived this very moment 3-weeks ago when I camped in the backcountry of the Everglades National Park for three days and fished the backbays in an around Lostman’s River. I hooked and caught two tarpon of 80-and 100-pounds. February and March is when the big tarpon can be found on the warmer days laid up and gently rolling in the tidal rivers and backcountry bays of the coastal Everglades. Flies and mullet lures that exhibit natural ladyfish colors is the secret to success here.

Check out this guy!

After meeting Pat, fishing quickly became a big part of my life. Before him my stomach turned at the sight of blood and a fish struggling to breath just brought me to tears. But my love for the water brought me closer to this sport. I was intrigued and my passion quickly overcome my sensitive stomach.

I still have that sensitivity towards our precious wildlife, but I also have grown to respect what it means to enjoy fishing. Nothing really compares to spending a long day on the water searching for fish. When you finally hook one, the nerves run wild. To loose a fish is like a loved one breaking up with you. It has taken me awhile to understand the emotions so intertwined with fishing–but ask any avid fisherman/woman and they will all struggle to put the emotion and passion into words.

Anyways, fishing has become one of my favorite activities to do. It has taught me how to love and respect our watery worlds and all the gifts it gives to us, from filling our bellies with delicious fish or enjoying the embrace of her salty waters.

Pat introduced me to the idea that we could catch just one fish and it would feed the both of us for a few meals – our fish has always been fresher, better quality and tastier than any store bought food. It baffles me that, as humans, we feel the need to out fish our oceans… it is so unnecessary and so wasteful… If only there was a way for all of us to enjoy the benefits and satisfaction of gathering our own food.

More thoughts on this later.
