Alternative Mermay #20: Sea Nettle with legs (runs away!) #mermay #reversemermaid #merfolk #jellyfish #art
Reverse #Mermay 12: The Snipe Eel is a long, thin eel that dwells mainly in the mesopelagic zone (200-650m) of the ocean. Its jaws are also long, thin, and lined with tiny teeth for catching small crustaceans. #mermay2022 #reversemermaid #fish #education #art
Reverse #Mermay 11: The Pacific Spiny Dogfish has a sharp spine in each of its dorsal fins used to protect it from potential predators. They grow slowly and reproduce even slower, with a gestation period of around two years. #reversemermaid #mermaid #shark #education #art
Reverse #Mermay 10: The Leopard Shark is easily recognized by its pattern of large dark spots and saddle markings on its back. It forages in intertidal areas for clams, crustaceans, worms, and small fish. #mermay2022 #mermaid #reversemermaid #shark #education #art
Reverse #Mermay 9: The California Halibut is a large flatfish that spends most of the time staring up from the sandy seafloor. It begins life looking like a normal fish, but as it ages one of the eyes moves to what becomes the top-side. #reversemermaid #fish #education #art
I'm really happy with how this #reversemermaid turned out. #mermay Mola molas are easily my favorite fish, they always look so comfy just floating around and enjoying the slower life.
A brief intermission this week to celebrate this glorious month. Get up to date with our webcomic here: bafishka.com #mermay #Mermaid #mermaidau #reversemermaid
Flossie Fischenheimer is an anthropology student researching human grooming customs. It’s hard to hold a hairdryer when you have fins for hands. Still working on yesterday’s intended entry. #mermay #mermay2022 #reversemermaid
Reverse Mermay #6: The Salmon Snailfish is a squishy fish that lives on the seafloor. The "whiskers" on its chin are actually modified fins covered in tastebuds. It's not actually native to California, but they're at @MontereyAq! #mermay #reversemermaid #fish #education #art
Reverse Mermay #5: The Pacific Viperfish lives deep in the bathypelagic layer of the ocean. Its teeth are so long that they don't fit inside its mouth, and its jaws can open wide enough to engulf small fish and shrimp. #mermay #reversemermaid #fish #education #art
Reverse Mermay #3: The Pacific Bluefin Tuna is massive, muscular, and migratory. Unlike most fish, it's warm-blooded, thanks to special organs that keep its body temperature higher than the surrounding seas. #mermay #reversemermaid #fish #education #art
Reverse mermaids, lol... Just for fun. May, 2021. #mermay #reversemermaid #art #digitalart #digitaldrawing
