💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐟🐘 A fuzzy red-and-orange #fish spotted off #PapuaNewGuinea has been identified as a new ghost #pipefish species named Solenostomus snuffleupagus after #SesameStreet’s Mr. #Snuffleupagus. Researchers confirmed it through measurements, CT scans, and #DNA, and found its scruffy look likely mimics floating #algae for #camouflage.

In honor of the Tawny Frogmouth's recent 2nd place showing in #GuardianAustralia #BirdOfTheYear2023 I present this picture from 2017 of the only time I saw one in the wild. On a walk in the Mt Glorious area near #Brisbane, I said to my wife, "Hey, that mailbox has a great tawny frogmouth carving... oh wait!"
