yamamanamaI haven't been to the aquarium since I was in elementary school. Because I have the spatial memory of a tit, I remember the place well. There are now some harbor seals living outside and a new Science of Sharks exhibit where you can touch a ray and see some smaller sharks like pajama sharks. They feel like squooshy sandpaper.
I think some of those penguins might be the same ones I saw when I went there back in elementary school. The lifespan of a penguin in the wild is 20 years-ish, but in captivity, they can live 30 or even 40. Mostly because they don’t have to worry about evading seals or catching enough fish or breaking a limb and dying from exposure.
Myrtle the green sea turtle is approximately 95 years old.
The giant pacific octopus is most definitely new, as octopuses only live about 5 years at most. Octopuses mate once and then die. I assume that if they don’t mate, they die after a few years anyway.
The Indo-Pacific reef exhibit is totally new.
There are leafy and weedy sea dragons. There are piranhas which are usually opportunistic scavengers in the wild. It’s not like the movies, where they send a nuclear submarine to fight the piranhas and one of them swims right down the periscope and bites the guy in the eye and he’s like AAAHHHHH! AAAHHHHH AAAHHHHH and the old lady told him it would happen.
Gobbleguts are from Australia and you can tell becaue they’re called gobbleguts.
Seals are basically dogs with flippers.
Eared seals can stand up with their fins and rotate their back flippers, which are fused legs. Not very well, but better than true seals, who just crawl around on land.
Anaconda is a Sinhala word. What happened is that there’s a species of python in Sri Lanka called the anaconda and then when Europeans first encountered the boid from South America, they gave it the name anaconda because they thought they were the same thing. The Tupi and Portuguese name is sucuri or sucuriju or sucuriuba.
Anna gave birth. They can do that. They’re not quite whiptail lizards, where the females give birth to clonal females and will eventually go extinct. Nay, the males, once they grow up, mate with the females.
They can stay underwater for ten minutes.
A woman had blue hair and a hat and the word serendipity tattooed on her shoulder.
A man was playing the saxophone outside.
On a T map put their drawing of Superman punching a grey monster with the statement "We must never lose infinite hope even if it's doomsday." I see them a lot. One of them has Animal. One of them has Gollum's hand with "you are most precious to me"
Harp had a hat with an owl on it. I'm pretty sure it's not the letter M. Her friend Ava said she thinks I drew her friend once, which is entirely possible.
Trinity’s friend is an artist. Trinity plays flute and has pink hair and a piercing below her lip.
Kelsey played piano but then real life took over.
burning question: was Kanye not able to get a place in Guyana?
