I've been to that locality before! Just once though. As far as I'm aware that whale ("wally") is an adult

Gang this isn't the 1700s, guard members aren't going to go out pillaging, they're going to pull their phones out and get Lyft to take them home

Many thanks! I figured they were Sangamonian.

What's the age of the marine mammal bearing deposit? Latest Pleistocene? Any chance that specimens from this locality were reported in any of Harington's papers?

I learned so much about mobulid (manta and devil) rays and about the impacts of tuna fisheries. Did you know they live 40 years, have live birth, and only produce one pup at a time? A mamma manta may only have 4-7 pups in her lifetime. Bycatch is a major problem for these animals.

Back in 2019, @melissacronin.bsky.social asked me to create illustrations about ray bycatch. Having spent most of my life wanting to be a marine biologist, this was a dream job. Together, we created educational posters for use on tuna fishing boats in an effort to help mobulid rays survive release.

This happened to me a couple times in my old house! I miss my hermits, snails, and tropical fish but I definitely don't miss Aquarium Maintenance Sundays™️
