Another deep sea documentary, this one about the Oarfish.
I love how the Japanese name is a hint to its imagined role in legend: 竜宮の使い or リュウグウノツカイ**, the Messenger of the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace is according to legend at the bottom of the ocean and where queen Orihime lives. (see the legend of Urashima for details: Urashima Tarō - Wikipedia )

While this thread is more about wild animals, this is a really cool video about the aquarium hobby and this insane guy’s fish room and ongoing projects to breed multiple species of fish. It’s just a relaxing watch, with lots of beautiful tanks and fishies.

It’s fascinating that the hybrid, cross-breeding between Blue-spotted salamanders and Jefferson salamanders only gives females. The females mate with pure blue-spotted salamanders or Jefferson salamanders and the female can reject the male chromosones to continue to produce the hybrid-female only variety. ^^’

It’s a funny one, and I can sort of see it even. With the exterior gills like floppy ears and something of a dog-nosey shape to their face. XD
