While HMS Beagle’s famed second voyage in the 1830s visited far more than the Galápagos Islands—from Cabo Verde (where Charles Darwin’s geological revelations convinced him of Lyellian uniformitarianism) to Argentina (where Darwin came upon the type specimens of Glyptodon and Toxodon) and from Australia (where he noted many examples […]

Lamprey, Sharks and Rays (Marine Animals by Panini), Part 6

Back with the last post of the Panini marine animals, this time we’re getting into the not-bony fish, jawless and cartilaginous fish. Most excitingly, it includes one of very few lamprey figures!

Scalloped Hammerhead Shark (Sealife by CollectA)

Review and photos by Suspsy; edited by bmathison1972

Of the 350 or so extant species of shark, none are more distinctive and immediately recognizable than a hammerhead. But there are in fact nine recognized species of hammerhead, ranging from the adorable little bonnethead (Sphyrna tiburo) to the massive great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran). This review will focus on the scalloped hammerhead […]
