  2. Newly discovered #spookfish shines light on mysterious ghost sharks nationalgeographic.com/animals

    "With their large, round eyes; pointy noses; and wing-like fins, #GhostSharks are rather cute, but little understood due to their remote habitat... thanks to new technology, such as remotely operated vehicles, 27 of the 59 known ghost shark species have been discovered in the past 20 years, three of them just in 2024—including the spookfish."

  3. CW: dream snake; music

    I had a #dream last night that a large, agitated black #snake bit me on the hand at a restaurant with my colleagues. My partner tells me that snake dreams are good luck and I really hope so.

    Anyways, the weather is getting colder here, so here is a very #autumn song about a large black snake in dreams by The #Spookfish
