In Memoriam: Dr. Henry Spencer, the ichthyologist who measured the 111-degree angle with a protractor.

I live in FL and have a bat house with tenants, don’t know how they make a living this year. Very few mosquitoes and even less dragonflies.

You explained it all when you said, “Florida”

At certain times my ex was very similar to that shark.

Been there, experienced that. It was not a 46 lbs cat fish, but I was at a stocked fishing pond and the kid next to me was pulling them in on a $5 Walmart Blue special, only 2 eyes on the pole, there wasn’t even a real pole. I had nothing for the day. Mind you, at the end of 3 hours, the grandpa was like “I think we need a Fish Mortgage” this was no release and it was $10 lb for what you caught.

That’s so the shark can do more gobblin’

oups

Where can I rent about 100 dragon flies?!?!?

This summer, I didn’t see the usual number of dragonflies. Besides their appetite of for mosquitoes, I like that they come in many colors. Fun fact: not only can dragonflies hover but they can actually fly backwards!

That Goblin Shark can do a lot of gobbling with those uber slack jaws!

Dragonflies are some of the most amazing animals

The saber-tooth tiger (Smilodon fatalis) could open its mouth over 130 degrees.

i once opened my mouth 112 degrees

Among the Hopi the dragonfly is a symbol of healing, rebirth and transformation.

And just where do you find Goblin Sharks?
