thats not-a-lie (maybe that works better spoken than written)
the council
A nautilus king
Council is sea-questered, do not disrupt!
You must not enter the chambers!
Huddlefish
This is like the Minecraft crafting recipe for a Conduit
That's some Lovecraftian shit going on.
God the center of that must feel like being in a carwash with the spinny bristles.
🥵
Looks like they are trying to mimic an octopus/squid.
What sort of animal are these?
Nautilus, which is like a cuttlefish with a cool spiral shell. I have no idea what they're doing in this photo though. Probably some sort of intricate sex ritual.
look at those tiny pupils! these headfoots are high as fuck
these things still exist?!?! I thought they were fossils like in Minecraft
They had a huge amount of diversity between the Cambrian and the Carboniferous periods, then all but a single order (Nautilida) died out when land animals became a thing, and only a single genus survived the Triassic extinction. They went on to flurish globally until only 20 million years ago, when specifically seals appeared. Nautiloids went extinct everywhere seals existed, leaving the only living species in the Indo-Pacific.
Their shells have a tendency to float huge distances, with some floating for over a decade. So not only are they a "living fossil", their shells are found even when they are not.
"Sir the nautilus outnumber us 3 to 1!" "Then it is an even fight"
Masher!
